To address this shift in the data center market, CommScope has formed the Multi-Tenant Data Center Alliance (MTDC). MTDC Alliance members will be able to offer optimal network infrastructure solutions for customers who need to deploy this technology in multi-tenant environments.
“Over the years, there has been a shift where companies are increasingly outsourcing their IT needs to shared environments where data centers are viewed as an operating expense,” explains Stephen Kowal, senior vice president of Global Partners at CommScope. “By leasing white space in a third-party data center, companies can remain focused on their core business while enjoying optimal data center availability, reliability, and cost control.”
Demand will continue for MTDCs from hyperscale data center operators, service providers, cloud providers, and enterprises; however, with increasing competition, it is becoming more difficult to differentiate quality of construction alone. That’s why CommScope has formed the MTDC Alliance, assuring customers that they are working with the company’s certified partners in its PartnerPRO Network of quality enterprise solutions.
MTDC's infrastructure makes advanced technologies like cloud computing and virtualized data centers available to businesses of all shapes and sizes, from small and medium-sized enterprises to large enterprises, while enabling flexible and easy expansion as the business grows. By outsourcing data center services instead of building, hosting, maintaining, and upgrading them, MTDC tenants can realize significant savings in operating and capital expenditures.
