Wipro and Outsourcing Center survey participants seem to agree that a data center strategy impacts their organization’s
business. While more than half of participants (53.1%) said that they believe a data center strategy impacts their
business, only a scant 15.6 percent of participants said that such a strategy has no impact on their organization.
Survey members from the manufacturing industry did not feel that a data center strategy had the potential to impact
their business, while representatives from other verticals either believed that such a strategy either clearly impacted
their business – or possibly had an impact.
Wipro’s Rajan Sampath notes that some businesses might misunderstand a data center to be just a pure facility, not
considering the IT infrastructure, although it’s difficult to believe that any organization today would consider its data
center as not being critical to their business.
“Organizations should consider the data center to be IT infrastructure, applications, network and facility,” says Rajan.
“This way, the data center clearly has business value.”
