ONGOING ANALYSIS
A significant shift is emerging in enterprise computing that will have profound implications for the next 10 years of the datacenter. Rapid advances in virtualization technologies and scale out computing as well as ongoing IT consolidation initiatives are causing operations managers to re-think their strategies around datacenter design and systems architectures.
As CIOs and CTOs 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. These modifications are brought about by changes in technology and business.
