Summary: Finding the right hardware for your command center is dependent on your business needs.
The right hardware for a command center depends on the type of business or organization and the amount of surveillance that they require. A small business that’s running on a limited budget cannot afford to work with the same type of equipment that a Fortune 500 company would be using. Not just because they can’t afford it, but it’s excessive for a smaller business.
A Digital Footprint
Due to the rapid changes in today’s high-tech world, many businesses are introducing the cloud into their network storage. Now, there have been concerns about taking away the locality factor and introducing something that may possibly be hacked. However, with today’s advanced security measures and the cloud becoming something more than just a glorified data storage bank, it’s become apparent that it’s the future.
Separation of Servers and CPUs
Another growing trend that’s increasing efficiency within the workplace is separating the computers from the servers. By leaving a gap between the two and locking the servers up in a secure area, more space has been lifted within the center, leaving operators room to work and giving owners the ability to add more equipment to the center itself. While this may not be something pivotal, or mission-critical, to the company, it has been trending.
Overspending on Hardware
Another common trend that’s occurring in today’s mission-critical environment is purchasing hardware that’s not needed. Sure, it’s nice to overspend, thinking that all the equipment you purchase will improve your business, but it may in fact be hurting you as opposed to helping. The right amount of hardware doesn’t necessarily mean purchasing everything at the highest prices.
