what's the optimum data center model for fast moving consumer goods providers, high street retailers & fast food chains?

The answer is, there is no longer a one-size-fits-all approach. Retailers of all shapes and sizes are opting for a portfolio of provision from Edge infrastructure to the sale and lease-back of once-owned data center facilities.

The Retail industry covers everything from high street stores to restaurants, banking, hotels and leisure - all of which rely heavily on their IT and networking infrastructure to support business operations and services.

Their ultimate goal is to sustain these services and to allow the business to operate in the most effective and efficient way possible - often operating in a manner closely related to what may be described as “Edge”infrastructure with business critical IT systems deployed within individual stores.

Retailers typically require centralized data centers with localized server environments typically operating without local support staff which are required to be monitored and managed remotely.

As the saying goes in Retail “time is money” but so it is even more important to have information availability accuracy and the ability to respond rapidly in order to save time and avoid potentially costly mistakes– across what may be a complex and widely distributed estate.
