Generation Data Center - Today’s Challenge
The rapidly changing business environment
has had a mixed impact on IT. While it has
helped catapult IT into a mainstream strategic
initiative, it has also placed tremendous
pressures on IT professionals to do more with
less. CIOs have come to realize that they
need a different IT to meet the new expectations
of the business; something that is dynamic
enough to cope with the rapidly changing needs
of the business, yet not lose its scale, availability,
and credibility. The challenge is not so much
around building new infrastructure but rather
to transform the old IT fabric, which has
inherent complexities that inhibit change
that is less costly and disruptive.
Many organizations have embarked over the
past few years on reducing or removing these
complexities through consolidation/integration
and even outsourcing parts of their infrastructure.
There is now a critical need for the right
solution that can help to pave the path
for a smoother and smarter transition to
the next generation data center.
The transformation of the data center relies
on the IT organization's ability to deliver
increased levels of flexibility and service.
IT budgets, often strained by the need for
real estate, power, and cooling, will shift
toward building new applications and IT
services that are specifically developed
to drive new business. As a result, virtualization,
simplification, optimization, and automation
will become key drivers influencing the
successful transformation of the data center.

Next
Generation Data Center
As CIOs become increasingly pressured to
align their IT organization with the business
and prove value, infrastructure managers
are, in parallel, addressing demands for
increased service levels, power and cooling,
and speeding time to market and application
performance.
The past few years have given birth to
solutions such as data management and virtualization
that can help end-users plan their data
centers better. While IT managers struggle
with managing, simplifying, and making available
complex IT infrastructure, datacenter managers
are increasingly concerned with very real
and sometimes limiting factors, such as
floor space, power and cooling, datacenter
consolidation, and staffing.
Also worth noting are new issues such as
energy efficiency which have become mandates
from some governments.
The
transformation of the data center relies
