Why data centres need information management services

Data centres are becoming increasingly important as companies rely more on information for their decision-making and revenue generation. These facilities are essential for the storage, processing and management of vast amounts of data for enterprises. However, with so much information being generated and stored, data centres need efficient and effective ways to manage it.

This is where information management services come in. 4C Group is a leading information management software provider in South Africa. We help customers with the accuracy, completeness, accessibility and relevance of their data, allowing them to glean insights from this information.

This reduces a company’s time to insight (TTI), which makes the business more efficient and competitive as they maximise the value of their data and utilise it more effectively. This goes for data centres too – these facilities can use information management for improved accuracy, compliance and availability.

Data centres are experiencing significant growth.

Local data centres are experiencing significant growth. According to a recent report by Xalam Analytics, South Africa’s data centre market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of over 15% until 2025. This growth is attributed to increased demand from cloud service providers, the internet of things (IOT) and big data analytics.

However, with the growing amount of data being generated, data centres need advanced information management services to manage it effectively. They are custodians of valuable information for hundreds of companies, both multinational enterprises and smaller local businesses. They need to ensure that this data is secured and optimised.
