- Uptime and data protection - Built for redundancy across geographic zones

Virtual Data Centres VS traditional Data Centres
Lets take a look at Virtual Data Centres VS traditional Data Centres. With agility and scalability, Virtual Data Centres are revolutionising the way businesses manage infrastructure.
| Data Centre | Data Centre | Virtual Data Centre |
|---|---|---|
| High upfront expenses arise from the need for companies to purchase hardware and rent physical space. Additionally, they face significant costs related to electricity, cooling, and ongoing maintenance | Costs | Pay-as-you-use payment model. Very cost effective. No initial investment necessary |

| Designing and building a data center can take months. Each new piece of hardware requires purchasing, configuring, and racking | Setup speed | Building a new VDC is typically a matter of days. Adding new VMs and capabilities requires minutes. |
| Physical servers equipped with pre-defined CPUs, memory, and storage, which leads to restricted upgrade possibilities and time-intensive server management tasks. | Servers | Resize and deploy as demands increase or decrese |
| Plan for any switch ports, routers, cabling | Networking | Software-defined networks (SDN) and virtual routers to scale your network |
| Difficult to manage a centralised security management system, Physical access and times can be a disruption | Security | Centralised security management system |
| Migration is a slow, time consuming and expensive and prone to a wide range of possible issues | Migration | Easily migrate data between hardware platforms |
| Difficult to maintain and scale, usually results in adding more hardware and complexity | Scalability | Scale as you need or as your business requires with ease |
| Power infrastructure is expensive | Power | Power is not an issue |
| Expensive to hire IT staff to maintain, patch and backup critical infrastructure | Backups & Management | Management through a single interface, Backup and Professional Services available |
