Assessment of data centers for compliance with applicable FDA regulations can also result in identification of other financial and operational benefits. Arbour Group data center assessments have helped clients establish a baseline document for:
- Server consolidation
- Quantification of cost savings
- Identification of systems that can be retired or outsourced
- A regulatory consensus document
- Compliance with FDA regulations
Server consolidation can result in significant costs savings related to:
- Reduced capital costs
- Lower energy consumption
- Reduced real estate investment
- Improved system management
- Increase service levels
- Streamlined change management
Archie O’Leary, Vice President - Sales for Arbour Group, commented, “we find there is a cultural reluctance to touch a system after it has been validated because of a fear of citations and further expenses. However, there is valid economic incentive to pursue infrastructure assessment efforts since they contribute to long term cost reductions.”
