Hosting your IT infrastructure within a data centre increases your resilience and protects you from expensive downtime - we've outlined the 7 essentials to consider when choosing the right data centre partner.

Just a few weeks ago, the coronavirus outbreak was happening somewhere else. Now it’s a  health and economic crisis. Thankfully data centres have resilience in place to survive crises like this.

HPC isn't new, scientists have been using it for a long time. But these days, data is big business. Unfortunately, that fact hasn't escaped the notice of cyber criminals.

Welcome to 4D Data Centre's Covid-19 response guide, a resource for customers and staff to see the latest protocols 4D has put in place to ensure our data centres are a safe and reliable environment.

This is 4D's main page for Covid-19 resources. We will continue to update this page with links to our own and external resources to help your business.

The outbreak of Covid-19 has reminded us that there is a wide variety of reasons why a large portion of your teams might need to work remotely all at the same time. If you’re not prepared for it, this could lead to thousands of hours of lost productivity when your system can’t cope with all of this remote access.

As Covid-19 forces business to send their staff home, some video conference suppliers have put together special offers to help business through this time. 

As companies react and adapt, the resilience of their IT networks will become a major factor in their contingency planning. What will employees need to work from home? And if key staff are off sick, will you be able to manage and maintain your IT infrastructure?

Bringing HPC into your business is a huge investment. And if you aren’t using it all the time, is it money well spent? These are the issues that have led businesses to move HPC to the cloud.
