System Down-time And Data Centers

When you ask business experts today what is the prime requirement in their business they would answer  data centers. Almost all of the companies right now ranging from real estate, finance and banking, academic, non-government or even government institutions are needing help from a third party to host their data.

Imagine bulk of data being stored everyday. If your computer systems have low space, tantamount data could make a system down low or downtime. Let us take for example facebook, a social network website. For sure they have their own data center somewhere in Prineville, Oregon. They also have their own design that will cater all the needs of their users especially storage system. We cannot imagine how many users are uploading their own photos everyday on their account. But we are only sure that it counts millions.

But what's amazing is that, they are not experiencing system downtime. In fact, their service were very efficient. Zuckerberg's billion social networking empire is very flexible because of their data management. The company has their own large data management facility that could be accessed all the time anywhere in the world with the use of course of the Internet.

Social networking has now becoming the agent of business too. Twitter is another social networking site that is frequently used. But sometimes, due to too many users that are going online, the network are having system downtime due to website traffic. Other users could no longer log-in in their own account. The reason of that too could also be blamed to their data center. Maybe they don't have enough storage to process all the million users at that point of time.

Lately, it also happened to amazon, an online shopping site. When Lady Gaga, a pop star dropped her digital album this month, her fans are flocking the amazon site and caused system downtime because of website traffic. Imagine all of her million fans online downloading Lady G's song at the same time. If the data center of amazon is not that ready at that point of time, because in the first place they were not expecting it, the system could always bag down.

Executives of different companies right now are looking and competing to get the best services from competent data centers. System downtime could always be avoided especially if you hired an upgraded third party host. Plus, you get all the latest technology that they could provide to your company.
