Consolidation. Integration. Optimization: Implementing the technologies of next generation data center
Challenge
If your data center was designed pre-Internet, you are at a competitive disadvantage. Technologies such as virtualization, blade computing, and next-generation switching and routing compel a total rethink across the enterprise.
- How can apps deliver split-second response now that servers reside hundreds and thousands of miles away from users?
- Which routers and switches are tested and proven to meet the exponentially increased capacity demanded by today’s network architecture?
- Can next-gen data centers be outsourced? Safely? Securely? Fully compliant?
- Is the dream of a “green data center” fading as the cost of energy for HVAC spirals up?
- When disaster strikes are back-ups an adequate recovery / continuance plan?
- Will expensive frameworks such as ITIL actually advance data center management?
