Looking at datacenter developments and how they impact next-generation technologies and services including cloud computing, virtualization, software-defined networking, and other emerging capabilities
Although there is nothing IT departments can do to prevent natural disasters, Hybrid clouds enable IT to provide a great foundation for redundancy, which will ensure that mirrored infrastructure and applications remain intact when disaster strikes.
Protect your distributed resources, and empower your users, with a centralized policy engine.
What should you consider as you develop new business applications so that they will be successful as the datacenter evolves? Flexibility, speed, adaptability and automation all factor into the equation.
A well-designed datacenter that effectively synchronizes information through the use of branch offices, can provide local users with instant access to centralized data. Additionally, dispersed local branch offices are less susceptible to outages, making them an additional option for disaster recovery.
When redesigning your datacenter, people-centric IT must be a priority.
The key to successfully innovating your datacenter is a well thought out execution plan; establish efficient daily operations, create long term adoption plans, and design a flexible, future-proof enterprise architecture.
Big data is high volume, high velocity, real-time data that comes from all kinds of sources and ends up in a datacenter. To take full advantage of all this data, organizations need highly scalable storage and servers as well as the applications and frameworks to process all of the incoming data.
What does the consumerization of IT have to do with the datacenter? In a word—everything. BYOD policies may be putting your datacenter at risk. A VDI approach to device provisioning can address security and access problems.
The average annual IT budget, when adjusted for inflation, is less now than it was 10 years ago. Automation can help control costs and create a more flexible and responsive infrastructure.
Many IT managers are afraid to virtualize business-critical applications, but by neglecting the potential for more agility, they may be exposed to more risk. Safely virtualize business-critical services and enjoy cloud-based efficiencies.
Virtualizing works well for small workloads, and can be a great advantage in high-performance computing applications when implemented correctly.
Businesses win when they tap data in ways that enable them to perform complex business processes more efficiently. To do that, businesses must have a high-performance information infrastructures.
Storage growth is out of control! By addressing storage growth, you can manage costs.
According to industry analysts, the amount of data being directly managed in enterprise datacenters will grow 14 fold over the next eight years. That’s a lot of information. It also implies a lot of infrastructure. But there is an irony here.
When there is an outage or spike in user activity, you don’t have the luxury of a long runway. It becomes necessary to make changes on-the-fly, even automatically in some cases, so that there is no human latency at all, and that is where workload mobility comes in.
