Today’s technology driven world allows for the ability for all of us to potentially do business with anyone, anywhere and at virtually any time. The speed of change in the technology itself can often be a difficult reality for businesses as the pressure to be using the ‘latest and greatest’ grows more intense.

Here at Big Data Supply, Inc. we work with companies in over 60 countries to help them take strategic advantage of this change through a careful evaluation of actual technological need, the sourcing of quality products that meet the actual business need and the integrity to be there every step of the way.

While we can work with companies of all sizes from all places our home base for the 20 or so years has been Southern California. The main facility for Big Data Supply, Inc. is in Santa Ana, CA which is the county seat of Orange County, one of the most populated and environmentally conscious areas in the entire United States. We see a tremendous need in our own backyard for the services we provide which are designed to help businesses manage the product life cycle of data center through acquiring surplus new and used corporate data storage equipment and peripherals which include data tape media like new IBM 3592JC 4Tb and Oracle T10000 tape, servers, tape drives, tape libraries, disk array, telecom equipment and more.

We call Southern California home and intend to for the foreseeable future as well. From Los Angeles to San Diego the technology industry is booming and the need for reliable eco-friendly handling of materials is becoming more and more critical. Aside from the altruistic underpinnings of doing what is necessary to protect the environment there are legal implications as well.

Just a few short years ago, the data center was the dominant feature of any IT infrastructure. While data centers may still be important to many IT operations, their role continues to change.

With the rapid proliferation of cloud services from the Big Four (Amazon, Microsoft Cloud / Azure, Google, and IBM), the data center is now less about lots of bare metal and more about strategic assets that are not ready for the cloud or have specific compliance needs that companies might feel better keeping a bit closer to the vest.

As the move to the cloud occurs, there are two interesting things that are happening that will serve to feed a thriving secondary market for the servers that once filled those great halls.

First, companies will be retiring data center assets long before their useful life has been completed. In the rush to meet the demands of every CEO who heard the word cloud at a cocktail party and now ‘must have it!’, companies will have an opportunity to get a much wider variety of higher end servers and storage devices that can be picked up at more affordable rates.

Second, as the physical data center morphs for the enterprise, the server rooms of smaller businesses will upgrade to accommodate the level of equipment that will be in the market. At Big Data Supply Inc., we are uniquely positioned to assist all companies making changes to their data center. We can help:

• Companies and individuals who are looking to replace existing data center hardware with an upgrade but are not in the market for the latest and greatest. Instead, they understand the great value that can be received from refurbished servers, switches, data tape media cartridges like new IBM 3592JB tape cartridge 700Gb or certified IBM 3592JB 700Gb, etc, that are ‘like new’ and represent a significant upgrade. We sell all data center/IT hardware and consumables in all conditions such as new, open-box and refurbished. We also can provide all data center services that may be needed.
• Companies and individuals who are looking to sell used IT equipment that they will no longer be using for any number of reasons. We buyback all data center/IT hardware and consumables new and used.
• Companies that want to switch to the cloud. Our hosting environment consists of scalable resources to support businesses large and small. The environment runs on a secure, high-performance cloud environment built on enterprise-class IBM hardware and software.

Our goal is to help companies with asset inventory by taking it off of their books and finding a home for that same asset after the refurbishing process is completed. We have served clients both nationally and internationally and have years of experience helping companies make smooth transitions in their IT environment.

It feels like Google impacts everything that we do these days. When you stop to think about it, the truth of that statement can be a bit unnerving. Your business, regardless of your industry for the most part, is impacted by Google, and most businesses have incorporated paid search and SEO into their marketing mix as a requirement for success.

But what about the impact on the IT infrastructure of your business? Sure, Google Drive currently creates and stores files, but Google’s future impact on the IT infrastructure is bigger.  Google’s earnings call from April 2016 was a bit unique in that it broke out its businesses separate from search for only the second time. As the Business Insider reported:

Google's Other Revenue, which includes its Google Play app store and cloud business, were $2.07 billion, up 24% year-over-year.

Nothing to sneeze at, but not all of that revenue is for the cloud, and even if it was, it would be miniscule in comparison to Amazon’s cloud revenue. But what lies ahead will be driven by a very successful businessperson in Diane Green, a co-founder of VMware and now the senior vice president in charge of cloud and enterprise at Google. She is convinced that despite Google spotting Amazon four years in the market, Google will truly rival Amazon sooner than later.

A lot of bluster for investors? Maybe. But considering the success that Google has with most anything else, their dedication to being the top cloud provider will impact everyone’s business in some way. Let’s take a look at a couple of possible impacts.

• Price wars will speed the adoption of cloud services – Google and Amazon will make the public cloud and the pricing associated with it, a true race to zero. As a result, more businesses will move to the cloud because the cost structure will be too favorable to ignore.
• Everyone will accept the cloud as a viable alternative – Right now, there is still some fear about moving fully to the cloud. While it may be understandable, this will not last.
• Cloud security will be better than anything else – Google has done a pretty good job keeping the bad guys out of their own search engine infrastructure for a long time. Would Google “drop the ball” and make the cloud less secure for paying customers? I doubt it and so should you.
• Google has extremely deep pockets and a strong desire – Google has a history of winning high stakes corporate battles. They may not print money in Mountain View, but it does seem like it at times.

What might this mean for your business? It’s rather straightforward. Whether you decide to go to the cloud completely, have a hybrid approach, or not move at all, your way of doing business with partners will change. Your data center hardware needs of today may look very different. Also, you may not get away with keeping that aging server around for years past its prime.

All in all, how you handle every aspect of your IT delivery will be impacted by Google’s dedication to the cloud. They are changing the market with brute force, and you need to be prepared.
