Abstract

Data is an abundant resource in the knowledge economy and the need for data centres and storage solutions to harness this data is evident. This research attempts to gain an understanding of some of the practices amongst data centres participating in the knowledge economy. A mixed methods research approach was used to identify characteristics and practices of these data centres. This has led to the discovery of practices amongst these data centres that may not comply with the desired data practices in the knowledge economy. Based on these findings recommendations are made to improve data practices amongst data centres in the knowledge economy.
