Is Data Center Colocation The Right Choice For Big Data?
by Priti Shetti Technical coordinatorDid you
know that Facebook collects a massive 500 TB data per day, which call fill up multiple
largest hard disk drives we currently possess? The world’s largest hard disk
drive can house up to 10 TB data, so now you can imagine the number of hardware
a company like Facebook would require, if it had to store all the data it
generated within 24 hours. But such market giants build their own datacenter
servers and keep equipping it with servers to support big data.
If you
deal with such enormous data range, you’ll similarly have to build your own
infrastructure because it’s nearly impossible to locate large amount of data,
in-house. However, if you need storage and performance solution for your small
and medium sized business, we have a plan for you, as well.
Colocation for Big Data
The new
colocation services can help, as they are designed to meet the new emerging big
data trends. As organizations grow, they
soon demand for sophisticated compute resources that can stock the bulging data.
Data center colocation is something that can meet the storage requirement as
well as boost the functionality level, cost-efficiently. Here is how colocation
meets the big challenges of big data:
·
Connectivity
The gathered
data needs to move effortlessly from point A to point B. Here point A is your
database and point B is the end-user application. You need to ensure that the
information is flowing back and forth and reaching your target audience without
any technical complexities. Colocation helps in achieving this target by
providing the connectivity choices you need to perform the task conveniently.
·
Scalability
Colocation
comes with cloud-like scalability that gives you the freedom to scale as you
grow, along with the added benefit of maintaining your data in a different
location within the infrastructure where you can completely manage the setup. Even
cloud providers are adopting colocation solutions for data storage due to its
effective adaptability. When you want to store large amount of data, colocation
lets you do it without any interruption. That is what driving cloud providers
to take up the opportunity over building own data center.
·
High-performance computing
In order
to reap out most of the big data, organizations require computing system
equipped with sophisticated components, which is not accessible in the
traditional versions. To meet this specific big data demand, HPC industry
developed a range of cost-friendly HPC systems that could benefit the technical
experts. But it is not done yet. Since HPC are highly advanced systems, it requires
a robust data center setup that could promote its functionality. Most
facilities lack the skill to support HPC and that’s where colocation strikes.
Collaborating
with a colocation provider supporting HPC system can push your data through the
obstacles and help you take full advantage of big data.
