How should companies select their ideal server and which approach should they adopt in this aspect?
Today’s ‘Data Centre’ approach has become result-oriented approach rather than hardware-oriented. Result-oriented approach is a flexible structure enabling that entire structure operates automatically in accordance with corporate structure, work load and needs. ‘Virtualization Solutions’ were the main reason for conversion to result-oriented approach. Therefore, companies should take care that planned virtualization solutions should be able to be integrated with the hardware. This is the main criteria of hardware selection. In other words, ideal server selection and data centre approach should be considered simultaneously. Projected virtualization solution should be taken into consideration while selecting the hardware and selected hardware should be flexible as much as possible. For example, a work load created by an application requiring process power consumes all processor source, on the other hand it will not use the disc area and memory which were purchased in the same server at the same efficieny. This idle source can not be used in the application running next side and causing memory load on the servers. In other words, although it seems that hardware has been selected correctly; since it is not an integrated virtualization solution to the environment and hardware is not consolidated; unfortunately sources can not be used efficiently.
What should be done in order to return the investment rapidly?
Return on investment in hardware field is expressed as ROI. While determining ROI, first purchase cost of the data centre, operation costs, maintenance costs and personnel costs are taken into consideration. Proper product should be installed and it should be selected as per hardware-software integration need in order to get ROI rapidly.
After proper product selection and integration, personnel costs, cooling and electricity costs, occupied data centre area, time spent for new hardware installation and maintenance reduce. Thanks to solutions like personnel virtualization; work flow speeds up since it runs software installations instead of physical installations and time is saved. Consolidate hardware during integration period reduces electricity and cooling costs. Likewise, since purchased and used hardware number decreases, guarantee and support costs also decrease. According to aforementioned criteria, first purchase cost is reduced if suitable equipment is chosen in compliance with the real requirement.
Lower costs and expenses, effective use of the hardware, integrated software increase work flow speed, efficiency increases so return happens more quickly. Number of hardware and maintenance and personnel costs also decrease so financial benefit is gained. Due to automatized processes, problems due to lack of personnel are avoided and personnel work as value-added basis.
In conclusion, requirements should be well defined and solution should be integrated by expert people with correct hardware/software components in order to ideal serves selection and quick ROI. Wrong selections and unhealthy integration process cause money loss, information and time losses.
