Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my servers need upgrading?
Signs include: frequent hardware failures, performance bottlenecks, end-of-life support, high energy consumption, and inability to run modern workloads. We provide free infrastructure assessments.
Should I build my own data centre or use colocation?
It depends on scale. Building your own makes sense for large enterprises with specific requirements. Colocation is more cost-effective for most businesses. We help evaluate both options.
How much does a data centre build cost?
Costs vary widely based on size, tier level, and location. Small server rooms start at $50,000-$100,000. Enterprise data centres can exceed $1M. We provide detailed scoping and budgeting.
What’s the difference between SAN and NAS?
SAN provides block-level storage over Fibre Channel/iSCSI for high-performance databases. NAS provides file-level storage over NFS/SMB for shared file access. We help choose the right solution for your workloads.
Do you provide ongoing managed services?
Yes. We offer 24/7 monitoring, patch management, capacity planning, backup management, and on-call engineering support for all infrastructure we deploy.
