Companies need to plan now for … Defined Data Centers – National Insurance Portal

 
 
 While data centers for Software Defined are inevitable in the medium term, organizations must still avoid the costs and disruptions, creating roadmaps now

 
 Dimension Data, a multinational company focused on information technology services and solutions provider of planning, management and support of IT infrastructure, says that as virtualization throughout the IT market is inevitable, organizations need to prepare now for Data Centers for Software Defined (DCDPS).

“While most organizations still do not see the benefits DCDPS, operational decisions that organizations make now will impact their ability to get the most out of data centers when the time comes, “said Kevin Leahy, general manager of Global Business Unit Data Centers Dimension Data.

As virtualization, implement a DCDPS will be a journey. Why require considerable changes in the management of organizations, virtualization was only possible in the late 90s – almost fifteen years to make it a tangible operating assets – and that in only 80% of companies. There is no single way to approach and implement virtualization. And the same applies to DCDPS

“We know from our experience in systems and networks in general, that the central focus in any discipline is defined by the need for software integration. – Not only the systems, but also business processes, “says Leahy. “We’re seeing more organizations approaching us to help them find this integration. We are interested in knowing the perception of them as the “definition of software” to be a trend that impacts every aspect of operations and will actually force change in Data Centers, sooner or later. “

virtualization and the emergence of software-defined network are already exerting a pressure on the more conventional management of Data Centers. This pressure will, in turn, create DCDPS needs.

“If you are considering your data center from the point of view of mobility, the growing volume of data, cloud computing, consolidation or virtualization, only consistent element that you should consider is your network, “Leahy points. “This is what makes everything else possible.”

“As the functionality is being extracted increasingly the hardware to the software layer of the network, the network is becoming much more flexible, allowing benefits as orchestration, and connectivity on demand, which enables significant cost reduction and increased efficiency. However, lack of resources defined in the Data Center software can create a bottleneck, preventing the realization of these benefits the network. This will also prevent the data center to fully benefit from virtualization “

As with all technological advances, on software-defined approach -. Either the network or data center – requires new skills in IT and requires changes in business processes.

This is the point where the need for planning into action. Skills of each organization and change management requirements differ depending on what options are to allocate workloads.

“The discussion about DCDPS is the same as the cloud,” said Leahy. “The volume and type of work that you allocate in the cloud determines how resources are managed in data centers. This will dictate how the physical opposes the virtual infrastructure you need and therefore the degree that your Data Center needs to be defined by software. “

” Many technology vendors are building offers software-defined to sell their products. Many of these products are just part of a set of software that may or may not include your Data Center environment. The secret is to choose those that will make your business to be sustainable. “
