Spiralling costs of systems and networks, rocketing energy costs and an explosion in data growth creates a pressing dilemma for enterprise managers; How to radically transform data centres to enable enhanced data performance and security whilst reducing costs and energy consumption. Metronode’s world-class technology can deliver a flexible, scalable solution on a managed or client basis, allowing enterprise managers to navigate an unpredictable future with confidence.

Data growth is exploding.

Enterprise organisations across Australia are producing more data than ever before. Information needs are spiralling and storage capacity needs are forecast to grow at double digit rates annually.

Metronode can help your enterprise business control data management costs by maximising utilisation and harnessing the very latest green technology to reduce energy bills. Our data specialists will help you join in the data explosion without increasing the time you spend managing data storage.

In-house or leased data storage? Making the right decision needs specialist input.

CIOs are routinely tasked with delivering increased efficiency at lower cost, yet technological development is so fast paced that cutting through the latest energy saving solutions or security packages can be impossible. Should you build and maintain your own data centre or lease space in one of Metronode’s managed facilities to avoid the high development costs and ongoing expenditure?

Metronode’s sophisticated modelling tools will help you accurately predict the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of building and managing your own data centre, allowing a robust comparison with leasing space in a managed data centre. And whichever route you decide is right for you, we’ll be with you every step of the way, helping to optimise your data storage and deliver better performance for less IT spend. More for less becomes a reality when you choose Metronode as your data centre partner.

Every business is different so optimal efficiency requires a tailored approach.

Leasing space in a managed Metronode data centre de-risks data storage, using our years of experience and perfect track record to drive efficiency and enhance the performance of your enterprise packages. Metronode’s managed data centres offer:

• Reduced infrastructure costs
• 24/7 monitoring and security
• World leading energy efficiency
• A carrier neutral data centre provider

Or, you might be ready to take the next step and build your own data centre. If so, how does pay-as-you-grow scalability, 40% lower ownership costs and 50% faster deployment speeds sound? Metronode’s Bladeroom system offers:

• Rapid deployment through the use of pre-engineered facilities
• Significantly reduced ownership costs
• The chance to scale up, scale down or even pick up and move
• Best of breed technology and infrastructure

Whichever solution you choose, we’ll be there every step of the way.

Metronode believe in putting the client firmly in control, but we also believe in offering unrivalled assistance at every step of the development process. Whether you need relocation evaluation, architectural services, engineering or installation we have the experience to guarantee success, and the pedigree of Australia’s largest engineering group, Leighton Holdings, at our fingertips.

We know that agility’s essential

The phenomenal growth of “smart” devices, the rate of adoption of new technology and the continued speed of innovation make future workloads unpredictable, yet poor utilisation is one of the biggest drivers of revenue waste. Metronode’s uniquely flexible modular storage systems offers a path through the uncertainty that allows your business to grow rapidly and cost effectively.

And that performance is crucial.

Downtime can be a business disaster. Poor availability decreases customer satisfaction and profit making it the no. 1 concern of IT managers. Ensuring continuous data delivery can be a huge drain on the time and resources of an in-house IT department. Choosing to benefit from Metronode’s robust redundant architecture and continual focus on maintaining the most advanced monitoring and control systems will give you peace of mind. Since 2002, Metronode has delivered 100% uptime. That means better availability, better customer satisfaction, better performance and better revenue growth.

And our systems can help save the planet too.

Metronode’s next generation data centres were designed from the start with energy efficiency in mind. We use free cooling and market leading Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) to offer radically more efficient technology. The PUE in our locations in Melbourne, Adelaide and Canberra can deliver energy savings of over $9 million over ten years, whilst helping to save the plant too.

Exploiting and delivering great data drives business growth. Let Metronode help create your competitive advantage.
