http://www.cyberlinkasp.com/data-center.html | Although there are many countries willing to accept your business if you’re looking for an offshore data center, there are several reasons to consider hiring right here in the United States. In the following document, we’ll go through eight important points that illustrate why a domestic data center may be the best choice for your business.

Benefits of US-based Data Centers
1. Benefits of US-based Data Centers
Finding the right location for your data center is one of the most important decisions a
company can make. Data centers support a company’s systems, processes and often, their
entire business. As such, they need reliability, an educated workforce, and the ability to
pick up the phone during business hours in order to find out what’s going on.
In an age where desktop virtualization, remote desktop services, application hosting and
network performance monitoring are key business operations drivers, it’s more logical
than ever to locate your data operations close to your U.S. home. That’s why many
companies are turning to CyberlinkASP, an applications service provider based in Dallas,
Texas.
Although many companies have data centers located around the world, there are many
benefits to having your data center based in the U.S. Here’s just a few:
1) The electricity grid is reliable. Sure, there are power outages on occasion, but
many countries have consistent power failures as frequently as two or three times
a week. While the U.S. grid isn’t perfect, it is still among the world’s most
reliable systems.
2) Political stability. There is political infighting in the U.S., but there’s never been a
military coup or power grab to throw out a leader without warning. There’s a
reason the world uses the U.S. dollar as its default currency. It knows that our
system isn’t likely to go into chaos because some general decided he had a better
idea.
3) An educated workforce. There are cheaper options throughout the world, but the
brainpower of the US. workforce is not to be underestimated. When something
goes wrong, you need to be able to reach someone and find out what’s going on.
It helps if you’re communicating with someone in a common language.
4) Weather. We have our disasters, but the US. is known for bouncing back quickly
and maintaining order. Even in the worst-case scenario, a US. based data center
usually has multiple options for restoring your operations quickly and efficiently.
We’re also not a country where high heat is normal – thus, you can save money
on the energy needed to cool water and generate air conditioning.
5) Proximity. We live in an international world, but the one thing that we haven’t
solved is the time zone differences between far away countries. If you go down in
the middle of the US. workday, good luck getting the A-team of a foreign-based
data center to act quickly. They’re at home sleeping.
6) Costs of electricity – There are numerous options available from most utilities to
accommodate power needs. That’s not often the case in countries where charging
interest is prohibited.
7) Economic incentives – Many states would love to host a green business like your
data center. Significant tax breaks are available to companies that are willing to
locate in certain areas.
2. 8) Your customers are here – In a fast-moving world, you don’t want to make your
customers wait for answers. Being able to pull data from local outlets is far
superior to dealing with something ten time zones away.
