More with Less: The Cost Effective, Intelligent
Data Centre |
| Businesses
across Asia Pacific have been increasing
their efforts to virtualise server workloads
in their data centres. However, many organisations
still resort to the traditional approach
of over-provisioning and restricting users
or applications to share certain servers.
Some even procure multiple management tools
for physical and virtualised assets and
IT workloads. Disproportionate IT workloads
on servers can negatively impact quality
of service. Not only that, such ad hoc practices
result in endless IT labour and cost in
order to continuously reserve and monitor
resources. Organisations that take this
route eventually spend a lot of time on
test and migration tasks which can today
easily be significantly optimised and automated.
Better management and automation tools
and virtualisation solutions are crucial
to data centre transformation in an organisation.
Businesses today can and should take advantage
of emerging data center solutions to achieve
a significant boost in service quality and
substantial reductions in IT labour and
costs. This workshop reflects on what is
shaping and driving data-center technology
today and walks you through the imperatives
for creating a cost effective and intelligent
data center that lets you do more with less. |
