How modern is your data centre?

There's plenty of talk about the future of the data centre and how CIOs should prepare their systems for a new way of running IT.

We're already seeing some of the elements of change: the consolidation of servers, the requirement to reduce power consumption, the ever-increasing rise in storage demand, the move to virtualisation and the interest in cloud computing both public and private.

Some CIOs may have adapted to this change with enthusiasm, eagerly embracing new technologies and transforming the way that their organisations are being managed; some have been bemused by the rate of transformation and wonder where to turn. There are some are ready and willing to move with the times but are being held back by either lack of investment or heavy reliance on legacy systems while, conversely, some CIOs are being propelled by other managers down a new path. These are the extreme views but there many companies who are somewhere in between, a mix of the modern and the long-established.

But at what point are you in this process? In conjunction with respected business analysts The Bathwick Group, we've developed an assessment test to determine how modern your data centre is.
