IDC server room construction is a very important investment project, it is not only the infrastructure of enterprise information construction, but also the protection of enterprise information security. However, the cost of IDC server room construction is also a very huge investment, the need for reasonable cost accounting in order to improve the return on investment.
Cost budgeting steps
1. Define the objectives and needs of server room construction
The objectives and needs of server room construction are the prerequisite for cost budgeting, and only by defining the purpose, size, and function of the server room can we determine the inputs and budgets for the construction of the server room.
2. Determine the hardware equipment for server room construction
The hardware equipment for server room construction includes servers, network equipment, storage equipment, UPS power supply, etc., which needs to be determined according to the needs and scale of the server room.
3. Determine the software system for server room construction
The software system for server room construction includes operating systems, databases, application software, etc., which needs to be determined according to the needs and scale of the server room.
4. Determine the network architecture of the server room construction
The network architecture of the server room construction includes network topology, network equipment configuration, network bandwidth, etc., which needs to be determined according to the needs and scale of the server room.
5. Determine the security measures for the construction of the server room
The security measures for the construction of the server room include firewalls, intrusion detection systems, security monitoring systems, etc., which need to be determined according to the needs and scale of the server room.
6. Develop a cost budget for server room construction
Based on the hardware equipment, software systems, network architecture and security measures identified above, develop a cost budget for the construction of the server room, including equipment purchasing costs, software licensing costs, network bandwidth costs, security costs, labor costs and so on.
