Old DCs can be used as IT assets

Infrastructure and operations leaders often focus on new ideas, technologies and ways to deliver business value, while older data centers getting minimal attention. With a clear strategy, older data centers can be updated to support new and emerging business services, while reducing operating costs. Organisations with existing workloads remaining within their datacentres must decide how best to restructure their physical infrastructures to improve efficiencies and extend the datacentre’s useful life. Most IT infrastructure and operations (I&O) leaders are dedicating their attention to cloud migrations, edge strategies and moving workloads closer to the customer. Therefore, workloads moved to the new enclosure are unlikely to come from the same racks, and the older section of the server area will be heavily fragmented.

Once these workloads are moved, begin the process of physically relocating equipment and clearing out the next section of floorspace to make room for the next self-contained rack installation. As each subsequent unit is installed, the overall density of computing per rack increases, resulting in a significantly higher compute-per-square-foot ratio and a smaller overall datacentre footprint. This migration phase might also be an excellent time to consider a server refresh, depending on where existing servers are in their economic life cycles. Implementing smaller server form factors can increase rack density, while reducing overall power and cooling requirements. Legacy data center infrastructure with the right approach can be reinvented to increase capacity, support new business services, and reduce operational costs.
