Shaping the future of data center risk and cost management

Data center operations around the world are under increasing pressure to reduce business risk, control operational cost and maximize capital asset utilization. At the same time, in an IT environment where demand is dynamic, energy costs are rising and there are new regulatory obligations to meet, corporations still expect uncompromised IT service provision delivered with high levels of availability. Throughout the data center life cycle, optimizing for cost and efficiency has now become a huge challenge.

With a requirement for reduced service provisioning time accelerated by the emergence of cloud services, the ability to match supply with demand across the business is critical to successfully managing data center costs. However, in the past there has been no accurate and simple way to measure the true cost of delivering IT services, or forecast the financial and operational impact of proposed changes to infrastructure or IT equipment. This has contributed to massive over-provisioning leaving many businesses paying a very high unit price for their services and with underutilized capital assets.

The fact is, without a systems level view of the IT environment and the complex operational inter-dependencies within the data center, justifying investment, deploying resources effectively and optimizing are problematic.

Driving efficiency and true cost accountability

Romonet was established in 2006 to help businesses run more efficient, more cost-transparent data centers. With an impressive pedigree in the data center and ICT arenas, our management team has developed a deep understanding of the issues faced at all levels, along with expertise in a range of data center specialist areas.

Our founders, Zahl Limbuwala and Liam Newcombe, are respected industry thought leaders who play significant roles in advising regulatory and policy-shaping bodies throughout the EU, USA, Asia and Japan. They recognized that the ability to accurately account for cost, energy, capacity and carbon on an activity or per service level was crucial in understanding and optimizing data center performance and utilization – both now and in the future.

The future of data center efficiency, cost and risk management has arrived.

After extensive research and a proven track record of working with sector-defining organizations like the Carbon Trust, the British Computer Society and the EU Code of Conduct for Data Centers, Romonet has developed the world’s first data center predictive modeling tools, allowing you to discover the true cost of delivering your IT services and accurately predict, account and optimize cost, energy and capacity. The future of data center efficiency, cost and risk management has arrived.
