When partnering with a data management solutions provider, there are three key elements you’ll need to look for to ensure you’re getting what you need. Here’s more information on each – as well as where to find them all.

Network Security

You probably know that your company’s internet devices – computers, tablets, etc. – need virus protection. Network security is key for protecting the information you deal with daily. Think about just how much more vital it is to the information you keep on file for business purposes and to the backup system and programs you have stored at your data center. A good network security solution is the first and perhaps most important element of good overall data center security.

Accessibility as a Method of Protection

Who can access your data center? Who has the passwords, location, and other key information about your center? These details are all important in keeping your center, and the information and systems therein, safe.

Limiting access to your data center isn’t about exclusivity in your workforce. You wouldn’t ask your clerical staff to handle IT tasks or vice versa. So, why should anyone other than trusted members of management and your IT department have access to your data center?

The simple answer is that they shouldn’t – and keeping it that way is one important aspect of keeping your data safe.

On-Site Safety Through Stability

You can’t keep your company’s data safe if you can’t keep your data center functioning properly. One of the key components of doing this is ensuring proper energy supply to your center. Another is keeping the climate and temperature of your center’s buildings carefully controlled. These two elements are crucial for keeping your center humming along.

Installing a backup generator or contracting your data center out to a company that uses reliable energy is a smart move for ensuring constant and consistent energy supply – but what about climate control for your location? Data center cooling should be a priority for any data solutions provider you work with. If it isn’t mentioned, do so yourself. It’s always better to ensure this upfront than pay for the mistake of not mentioning it later!
