When running a business there is no end to the problems you can face.
Whilst a rewarding experience, we know that any small to midsized business (SMB) owners will jump at the chance to take this challenges away.
Teamed with Vertiv and their extensive array of products, we are going to show you how to address these issues.
What are the main powering IT issues that SMB face?
1. Predicting and managing infrastructure costs
As IT demands escalate, it can be difficult to control the costs of these upgrades.
Investing in flexible power solutions is vital.
2. Delivering the availablity needed for critical applications
It can be a challenge to maintain or increase the IT resilience and availability that is needed to help your company succeed.
This is the biggest concern for critical spaces up to 10,000 square feet in size.
As demand escalates, your IT systems are enablers to growth and therefore must be available.
3. Improving your power system visibility and intelligence
If you are unable to see into the power system’s performance you may face costly mistakes and productivity loss.
Adding the maintenance of power protection to employees’ daily tasks can lead to loss in productivity and unintended problems arising.
4. Achieving flexibility and rapid deployment
To meet business demands most companies need their applications and systems to be up and running quickly.
What is the best way to add, update, and modify power systems to support the ever-changing IT needs?
