Building a data center is a significant, financial investment for an organization. In this webinar, Jim Smith, Digital Realty Trust CTO, and Rachel Dines, Data Center Industry Analyst with Forrester Research, will discuss the issues surrounding the data center’s total cost of ownership (TCO). Discussion topics will include the costs, risks and benefits of building your own data center versus leasing a facility; the dollars and cents of core competencies; and the impact of modular data centers on the TCO model. Among the items that participants will learn about are:

  • How data center facilities are your most expensive investment
  • The three factors that determine the economics of data center facilities
  • Why you need to factor your core competencies into your decision
  • The components of the TCO model
