For Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Product, and Channel Partnership Professionals in the Data Center Industry

?

Many companies in the data center industry have realized that the way that chief technology officers and chief information officers research and make purchase decisions has changed.?

  • Gartner found that 83% of the purchase decision process occurs before a potential buyer engages with a vendor.
  • And McKinsey discovered that 70%-80% of decision-makers now prefer to make decisions digitally.?
  • LinkedIn, partnering with Edelman, concluded that “thought leadership remains critical to customer engagement, but breaking through the noise is harder than ever.”

?

Despite these findings, most companies in and around the data center industry are unprepared to confront this massive change in purchasing behavior.?

And this change is approaching quickly; whether your company is prepared or not, you must adapt to it.

To help you and your team upskill and stay relevant to how chief technology officers and chief information officers want to buy data center-related technology, facilities, construction, real estate, and services, we are hosting a webinar called "How to Market and Sell to CTOs and CIOs (for Data Center Go-to-Market Professionals).”

  • Integrate your sales process into the daily routines of chief technology officers and chief information officers
  • Quantify the total addressable market for different roles
  • Size up how your data center-related technology and services fit in with chief technology officers’ and chief information officers’? biggest challenges, growth trends, industry opportunities, and technology gaps

What Is Data Center Application Delivery?

Application delivery companies play a pivotal role in optimizing the performance and reliability of applications within data center environments. These companies focus on various services and technologies designed to enhance how applications are delivered and accessed by users.?

?

How Application Delivery Plays Out in Most Data Center Environments

  • Load balancing solutions?distribute incoming network traffic across multiple servers or resources, ensuring even distribution of workloads and preventing any single point of failure. This load balancing enhances application availability and responsiveness.
  • Content delivery networks (CDNs)?cache and distribute content closer to end-users. This approach reduces latency and speeds up the delivery of web-based applications and content, improving the overall user experience.
  • Security features like web application firewalls (WAFs) and intrusion prevention systems (IPS)?safeguard data center applications from cyber threats and attacks. They also offer application acceleration technologies, such as protocol optimization and compression, to speed data transfer and improve application performance.

Colocation Strategies for Optimizing Services, Target Market Selection, and Remaining Competitive

Managed service providers and colocation providers once operated in unrelated markets, targeted different clients, and performed separate services. The lines continue to blur today as colocation, enterprise hosting, private cloud, and managed services serve the same/similar markets.

Many colocation providers struggle to stay on task, identify the right clients and partners, and maintain pricing power.

In the past, MSPs operated as outsourced virtual IT for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Over the years, technology expanded the needs of SMBs, with more and more clients demanding services such as hosting, cloud, and colocation.

Today, some MSPs even purchase wholesale colocation and sell retail colocation in an attempt to keep up with these growing demands.?

Colocation providers’ typical SMB clients have faster sales cycles than mid-market and enterprise clients and require more profitable professional services.

?It can be beneficial for colocation providers to partner with MSPs. However, they should be selective and operate with caution, as many MSPs notoriously execute weak sales and marketing strategies, and the two are hunting the same SMBs—thus, making them competitors.
