Using energy efficient data centres and the advantages of managed services - Roy Wood, Managed Services Sales Manager, BSG
Moving to a green operating environment implies change. Change requires skills and money. Do you have the in-house skills and resources to move your operating environment to the next level of resource efficient, performance systems? Should you use external professional or managed services for some or all of your operations and, instead of focusing on running the infrastructure, focus on where you can add value for the business? What do you stand to lose and what might you gain? Would you benefit from a greener Data Centre? How can BSG help you with going green and cutting your operating costs - help with planning, technology decisions, design, deployment, training and support? This presentation will examine these issues using specific customer examples to discuss how BSG can work with you to help you decide what your best green options are.
