We also review SLA’s, Fibre Network, Services, Costs, Accreditation & other Business units. Our objective is to compile as much information about data centres as possible; Enterprise, Colocation or Utility, estimating supply & demand, sector take-up of power & space & how much (regionally). Also identifying what operators actually have in their facilities. We aim to make the intelligence we share
verifiable while keeping it correct & up-to-date as well as remaining independent! Why did we Start this Portal? Through our reports, we found that operators began contacting us to be included so we decided to do this for the entire world. We needed to find a cost effective way to incentivise operators to provide us with as much pure information as possible while neither harming their business nor jeopardising security and keeping them competitive so we developed a rating system. Farming & later evaluating that information also takes lot of time. This is why we developed a database that was firstly able to archive the information for trend analysis, to consistently verify, purify & update the intelligence we acquire. What the Portal Has to Offer?
• Analysis: Sector & Regional Trends in Take-Up
• Data Centre Facilities Technical & Non-Technical Comparison:– Enterprise, Colocation & Cloud Utility
• Open Market Place – Displaying details of new projects
How the Portal Rating Works?
• Step 1 – We glean data through publicly available information
• Step 2 – We send out a questionnaire to all operators & carry out a remote desktop audit
• Step 3 – We carry out a site audit
• Step 4 – Stale information reduces the profile score
• Step 5 – The operator’s request we carry out periodical reviews or audits
• We Rate the facility during all steps
