Data centre offshoring seems to be on the rise and is expected to grow in a big way in the next five years. Up till now companies were reluctant to take the benefits of data centre outsourcing but now the views seems to be changing and companies are willing to relocate their data centres for spreading their risks and pocketing significant savings.
David Elwen, Director, DMW said:
This research seems to show that the majority of IT managers believe that the trend is inevitable, but it is not a straight-forward process and it is vital that they make the right choices for their organisation and plan carefully for what would be a major change to a key service.
Some of the most cost sensitive sectors such as retail are quite enthusiastic about it and this seems to be a positive signal for the outsourcing industry which certainly stands to gain from it besides the companies which are opting for it.
