Data Centre Strategic Capability Assessment
Review your data centre capability across six core areas, then see your results straight away. Complete the assessment online to get an instant performance dashboard and the option to request an executive report.
Results you can act on
Once complete, you can view an instant dashboard showing how your capability levels compare across the assessment areas.
If you need an output you can circulate internally, request an executive report that summarises your overall capability level, highlights strengths and gaps, and sets out prioritised recommended measures, alongside benchmarking against average responses.
Six areas that shape data centre performance
The assessment looks at how your data centre operates today and how well it supports your next stage of change.
Application and workload optimisation
How workloads are placed, how dependencies are understood, and how ready applications are for modernisation or migration.
Operational management and efficiency
Day-to-day control, monitoring and forecasting, maintenance, automation, and how changes and incidents are managed.
Infrastructure architecture and design
How well the design supports scalability and resilience, plus efficiency across power, cooling, space, compute, and storage.
Strategic planning and governance
Decision-making, investment planning, alignment with organisational priorities, and the evidence of governance and compliance.
Security and resilience management
Security controls across the physical and digital domains, threat readiness, and recovery capability.
Resource efficiency and sustainability management
Energy and utilisation visibility, lifecycle approach, emissions considerations, and total cost of ownership focus.
