The explosion of storage options, including offsite cloud storage, has led many independent and public entities to disband internal data centers in favor of outsourced data centers.  The reasons for this shift toward moving of a data center  are many:

• Servers and data center equipment are expensive and require dedicated human resources and climate-controlled, secure environments.
• New technologies and service plans offered by data centers mean new options are available for secure data storage that were not available just a few short years ago.
• Outsourcing data center services frees up trained personnel to provide other IT support to company employees.
• Companies with multiple locations are no longer interested in maintaining and managing multiple data storage needs.
