Whitepaper

This paper originated with a question Australian business has increasingly been asking: “Is it more cost effective to outsource data centre infrastructure, than to build and manage it internally?” To provide an independent perspective on this question, NEXTDC asked Deloitte to explore the business and finance implications associated with managing data centres. This paper outlines the options available to structure an organisations data centre and complementary IT services and provides the key considerations that need to be reviewed when determining which option works best for them.
