Data center optimization and audits involve the comprehensive assessment and improvement of a data center's infrastructure, operations, and efficiency. The primary aim is to enhance the data center's performance, reliability, and resource utilization while reducing operational costs and environmental impact.
Through meticulous evaluation and analysis, data center optimization aims to ensure that the facility operates at peak efficiency. SIGMA offer this subscription-based service to its clients to have such optimizations and audits performed periodically with implementation of the recommendations.
