High Resilience for Your Data Centre
Why a secure data centre?
Need for FULL 24*7 availability:• Around the clock data processing• Globalisation of companies• E-Mail and internet dependency (e-commerce, e-banking)• In a utility computing environment, organisations need to ensure that their IT
systems are available at any time• New legislation and regulations require data protection strategies (e.g .Basel
II)
The need for secure data centres is expected to grow 25% year on year
There is a need for modular, cost-effective secure IT rooms to ensure the operation of:
• Mission critical servers• DR sites• ‘dark’ sites• Data storage devices

Why a secure data centre?
Risks?• 2% of data centres suffer water flooding over a 10 year period
• 0.4% of data centres suffer a fire over a 10 year period
• 90% of all businesses that lose their data in the event of a disaster face bankruptcy
• Growing criticality of data in a business environment

Secure Data Centre - Conclusions
Current Tier III and Tier IV data centres are still vulnerable.
It makes sense for organisations to complement their existing infrastructure with a secure Data Centre
There will be an increasing demand for Secure Data Centres to ensure system uptime and resilience with a view to:
24*7 availabilityUtility computing
The Modular Data Centre is a heavy duty, cost-effective solution which provides:structural advantageselectrical reliabilityfire protection and thermal stabilityprotection against water and flooding
IBM can provide a Secure Data Centre solution, which can be customised to any size and functional requirements, incorporating features from leading technology partners.
