Force10 Networks Dynamic Cloud Infrastructure
By Force10 Networks
The data center has been, and continues to be, one of the key resources of innovation, helping businesses become more agile and efficient while reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) — as well as being the focal point for green IT initiatives. The first steps are widely underway, with data center consolidation bringing back the idea of the centralized glass room, enabling better control over fixed costs. Virtualization helps drive up utilization of existing server compute and storage assets, reducing sprawl, while also helping to reduce the power and cooling footprint. The next phase of data center evolution is aimed at helping applications dynamically adjust to load. Referred to as Services Oriented Architectures (SOA), it is now being mixed in with the likes of cloud computing and cloud networking. The tools are in place to usher in a new way of thinking about making the traditionally static networks ‘dynamic’, whereby the network itself responds automatically to requests for more, or indeed less bandwidth, provisioning network access, security and QoS, all without human intervention.
This paper explores the means by which existing data center assets can be repurposed to increase utilization and improved application agility. Download it now.
