Fodere presents “Building Your Data Center Facilities Cost Model” for AFCOM webinar

Tad Davies, President, Fodere discussed the various aspects that should be considered along with the cost components that should be included when constructing a Data Center Facilities Cost Model.  He then reviewed an actual cost model to illustrate various points and demonstrate how one could convey the data via charts and graphs. “Knowing what your data center is costing your organization answers a number of questions you may be asked,” stated Tad. “Mastering the information enables one to have substantive financial conversations with executives, and enhances that person’s value to the organization”.

One attendee remarked “I just wanted to let you know that this was the most useful/interesting presentation I have seen in any format in quite some time.”   Infrastructure & Operations Manager, State University.
