Industry's Most Comprehensive Financial Model Determines Data Center Total Cost
of Ownership 

LONDON, 2011-10-13 08:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Cartesian, a TMNG Global company, today announced the launch of its
ground-breaking Data Center TCO Model(SM), which provides the industry's most
comprehensive view of total capital expenditures (CapEx) and operating
expenditures (OpEx) for data center strategic planning, consolidation and
ongoing operations. The proprietary model is unique in its ability to
simultaneously perform side-by-side comparisons of various alternatives in a
single view, enabling IT executives to see the total cost of their full range
of options. 

Commenting on the Data Center TCO Model(SM), Rich Nespola, Chairman and CEO of
TMNG Global said: 

'TMNG Global's experts have designed our Data Center TCO Model(SM) to provide
Cloud Services Providers (CSPs) and other enterprises with the critical
financial information they need to make the right strategic data center
decisions. Encompassing the most comprehensive set of cost components in the
industry, our TCO Model is a necessary prerequisite for IT executive decision -
making, whether the need is to determine optimal site selection for a new data
center build, to expand or consolidate existing data centers, or to augment
existing centers via collocation.' 

Joe Sharkey, Vice President of TMNG Global and chief architect of the Data
Center TCO Model(SM) added: 

'Our clients are seeing data center TCO improve by as much as 30% in initial
costs and 35% in ongoing expenses through the model's ability to incorporate
cost components such as taxes, insurance, labor rates, and climate impacts on
heating and cooling costs, from one geographic location to another. And, when
coupled with our eLexicon(r) toolset that has nearly 700 data center
requirements, we deliver to our clients a complete package of the information
they must have to make the right data center decisions.' 

The launch of the Data Center TCO Model(SM) is the fifth in a series of Cloud
initiatives that Cartesian is announcing in 2011.
