How to save up to $1M per hour with one data center site survey

The cost of an IT infrastructure outage can be up to $100,000 per hour. The price of critical application failure? Between $500,000 and $1M per hour.

That’s a lot of mullah, which means if you’re like the majority of organizations, you can’t afford an extended IT outage.

Identifying gaps in your infrastructure is time consuming. But remediation? That can be a different beast entirely.

With SHI’s free Data Center Site Survey, our experts assess your infrastructure and hosting environment, making it easy to spot areas within your data center that need the most attention.

How it works

Our service provides actionable steps for risk mitigation, performance optimization, reliability, redundancy, and resilience under stress. Here’s how we help:

1. We start with an on-site walkthrough of your IT environment, including a physical inspection of your Main Distribution Frame (MDF) for dust, debris, damage, overheating, or other potential risks and failure points.
2. We then review your power supply utilization, including your power supply and grounding as well as your backup generator systems.
3. We also perform load calculations with your current equipment, including a forecast of new infrastructure’s impact on your current environment.
4. We move on to inspecting your equipment, ventilation, and cooling to check for wear and tear, prevent overheating, and correctly label, connect, and organize your cables.
5. Then, we inspect the physical security of your MDF as well as update your documentation and compliance with industry standards, regulations, and ISO certifications.
6. Finally, we review your monitoring and reporting functionality, confirming your MDF has software that can identify and alert you to risks and potential outages.
