What to Look for in a Managed Data Center

Using the right managed data center to host your IT assets can bring big benefits, reducing your capital outlay requirements, accelerating your time to market on new products and services, and building geographical diversity into your data storage infrastructure. Close consideration of the following criteria can help you select a managed data center that’s worthy of your business:

• Location and quality of the managed data center facility.
• Caliber of the managed data center staff and routine operations.
• Availability of managed and professional services.
• Stability of the managed data center provider.

RagingWire Offers a Superior Managed Data Center Location and Facility

RagingWire is a Sacramento, California based provider of enterprise class data center solutions and services. Our Sacramento location is ideal for a managed data center. California’s capital city offers a deep engineering talent pool and easy access to technology partners in the nearby San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley, but has substantially lower real estate costs and other business costs than those neighboring areas. Sacramento is also on a different and far more stable seismic plate than the Bay Area. A managed data center in Sacramento can thus offer more value for price than a Bay Area data center, as well as markedly lower risks of natural disaster. For enterprises seeking geographic diversity in their data infrastructure, a managed data center in Sacramento is an attractive alternative to a Las Vegas data center or a Phoenix data center.

RagingWire’s elite Enterprise Data Center^SM was designed and built especially to service the high availability, security, and scalability demands of data-intensive Fortune 1000 enterprises. This next-generation managed data center features a fully redundant N+2 power, cooling, and networking architecture that ensures “five nines” uptime for our hosting services.
