Government departments
Government Departments are facing many of the same issues as their commercial counterparts - IT consolidations, increased regulation, meeting service levels, all while dealing with increasing complexities and rates of change.
New legislation, changing budgets and mandates for increased cross-agency integration further complicate matters for IT executives and managers in Government.
As many state and federal governments seek to consolidate IT services to maximise savings, the challenges of being able to deliver critical services during consolidation are now higher than ever before. Many server rooms are at capacity or are in need of essential repairs, yet funding is not available as further spending on old facilities is avoided when the government is striving for consolidation.
DataBlox is the ideal solution to temporary accommodation - providing a reliable housing solution between the deteriorating or space challenged server room and that larger consolidated facility. Deploy DataBlox and make use of a high quality facility whilst IT prepare for a move to a new consolidated facility. Gain immediate efficiencies and redundancy/resiliency. Place the unit on-site and have easy access to your equipment, just like your server room.
When ready to move, simply pick-up DataBlox and truck it to it's new site or the shared facility where the mobile racks can be unloaded. When one government department has finished it's transition, move DataBlox on to the next group - reuse - share costs and maximise ROI.
The ability to manage mission-critical data centres in this environments requires better processes and tools. MeshBlox has been working with government departments to help them address these and other data centre management issues.
