1 RFP Questions Guideline For Data Center Buyers Rev: 00W P a g e

2 This guideline document is a supporting download for our webinar titled 5 RFP Questions Data Center Buyers Must Ask a Provider and can help data center buyers with some additional questions for their next RFP. The guideline was developed by our Solutions Engineering team and may not cover all areas considered for data center colocation services. If you need any additional help on your RFP or have any questions, please feel free to connect with us at and our solutions experts will contact you. To develop your request for proposal (RFP) core questions, start by involving everyone within your organization, partners, and customers that will be impacted by the data center. Also, make sure your questions are fully reviewed and organized before they make it into the final RFP. You may rephrase your questions as necessary so that they are meaningful, understandable, and yet specific. Don t be too vague in your questions. Sometime, questions supported by helpful details and background may be helpful for the providers to ensure that they get you the most accurate information. The RFP should be the start of a great conversation; be prepared for a data center provider to ask follow-up questions. Asking the right questions in an RFP will help you reach a smarter decision faster. Good Luck! All of our webinars can be found on RagingWire s website 2 P a g e
