Data Center and Cloud Computing
 
Opportunity
There is no denying the fundamental transitions taking place in the way data centers are designed, deployed and maintained. The maturing of virtualization and cloud computing platforms is rapidly transforming how SMBs and enterprises take advantage of these technologies to drive their next-generation data centers. There is a rational assessment occurring especially for cloud computing as a means to achieve a better IT environment for mixed workloads and diverse application requirements. Many SMBs and enterprises find themselves at a fork in the road in terms of how to architect solutions going forward. This results in a number of alternate deployment options that SMBs and enterprises have to weigh carefully. The comprehensive portfolios and offerings available from vendors further complicate this process.
 
In many ways, the elegance of new data center platforms masks the complexity inherent with converging networking, computing, storage, security and virtualization. This demands better solutions for converting customer requirements into many valid solutions than can be deployed without configuration errors.
