Q. What is a data center? A. A data center is where the majority of an enterprise servers and storage are located, operated and managed. Power continues to lead as a concern for data center operations. Data centers are designed to a specific power density - watts per square foot - with a typical cabinet of equipment occupying 14 sq. ft. of space. IT executives will have to make sure the data can be audited and meet regulatory and compliance rules as well as make sure the growing storage demands don't break the bank. In-house data centers can be a business weak link if proper attention isn’t paid to power use, cooling capacity, disaster recovery preparedness, running IT to support compliance initiatives, and staffing flexibility to support utility computing initiatives. SMBs with an easy on-ramp to virtualizing their applications by automating the installation and configuration of hypervisor VMware. Companies often run just one application per server because they don’t want to risk the possibility that one application will crash and bring down another on the same machine. Estimates indicate that most x86 servers are running at an average of only 10 to 15 percent of total capacity. With virtualization, you can turn a single purpose server into a multi-tasking one, and turn multiple servers into a computing pool that can adapt more flexibly to changing workloads. To qualify as a true enterprise solution, a storage management system must be able to scale across the entire enterprise. This means it must be able to handle multiple servers spread across wide geographical areas. The solution should further leverage technologies such as clustering and load balancing to support hundreds or even thousands of client computers. It also must support various network infrastructures and firewall configurations. The Cisco UCS integrates low-latency unified network fabric with enterprise-class, x86-based servers, creating an integrated, scalable, multichassis platform in which all resources participate in a unified management domain. A single system scales to up to 40 chassis, 320 compute nodes, and thousands of virtual machines. Green IT can be defined as research in and use of IT in an efficient and environmentally friendly manner. An effective High Availability (HA) data solution must address both unplanned and planned causes of downtime to achieve a truly fault tolerant and resilient IT infrastructure. Unplanned downtime is primarily the result of computer failures, data failures and human error. Planned downtime is primarily due to data changes or system changes that must be applied to the production system. The Cisco Nexus 1000V provides real-time coordinated configuration of network and security services and maintains a virtual machine-centric management model, enabling the server administrator to increase both efficiency and flexibility. |
