CyrusOne CEO Report Challenges False Benefits of In-House Data Centers


Global colocation solutions provider CyrusOne (News - Alert) (NASDAQ: CONE) today released an executive report entitled "Yes, You'd Have to Be Crazy to Build Your Own Data Center." CyrusOne CEO Gary Wojtaszek challenges a common belief among many cloud, social media, and enterprise company leaders and then methodically explains why outsourced built-to-suit data centers are a more efficient and effective use of resources than the in-house equivalent.

"I regularly hear seemingly rational explanations for adopting a proprietary approach to data center construction and maintenance, but these reasons are outdated and misinformed," said Gary Wojtaszek, President and CEO, CyrusOne. "A more effective, efficient option exists in built-to-suit data centers, which are custom facilities designed and constructed to meet the unique demands of individual companies. The shift from in-house to built-to-suit data centers is proving to be like America's transition from small, family farms to large-scale farming operations: gradual, but necessary."

To help expedite this transition, Wojtaszek outlines seven critical reasons why in-house data centers are not the best option for any company needing additional data center capacity.

Additionally, in the report, Wojtaszek debunks the perceived benefits of in-house data center solutions, noting the irony in the fact that many modern, disruptive companies are clinging to the status quo when it comes to data centers.

"This part of the data center revolution is just beginning," added Wojtaszek. "As evolving technologies and exponential data growth continue to force business leaders to reassess their IT infrastructure and rationalize capital spending, a boom in built-tosuit data center construction is starting to gain momentum. CyrusOne is excited to stand at the forefront of that revolution with our hyper-scale build-to-suit solutions."
