Huggers?

Server huggers. A term often used pejoratively to refer to IT executives who

can’t let go of their physical in-house server infrastructure. Rather than treating them as dinosaurs, Omaha data centers should welcome their existence.

The challenge data centers in Omaha face from server huggers is to show them how

they can still have control without the overhead of an onsite data center.

Demands?There are a number of beliefs, right or wrong, that server huggers use to justify keeping things in-house:•Control•Security• Job Security

These data centers can allow even those who are hard-core server huggers the opportunity

to keep things close to them. The IT department can still have control while being able to better utilize the space and manpower

that was previously tied up with the onsite center.



The Bottom Line

Almost half the companies surveyed had server hugger mentality when it came

to IT. Those companies are going to be reluctant to go to the cloud. That’s a sizable market that data centers can

attract by providing services close at hand.
