What data center requirements involve the combined efforts of facilities and IT staff? Operating a data center at peak efficiency and reliability requires the combined efforts of facilities and IT staff. Data center per-cabinet power consumption has steadily increased over the past several years as pedestal servers drawing 1KW/rack have given way to 1U/2U pizza box servers at 3.5KW/cabinet and blade implementations at 10KW/cabinet. Faster CPUs, larger memory chips, and smaller disk drives also continue to increase power demands. 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. The rise in technology and a changing corporate landscape have presented data center operators new challenges. SMBs with an easy on-ramp to virtualizing their applications by automating the installation and configuration of hypervisor VMware. For all of the upside virtualization is not magic, and it can introduce some new challenges. But in most cases the many cost and efficiency advantages will outweigh any issues, and virtualization will continue to grow gain popularity. One of the greatest challenges facing IT professionals is effectively protecting business critical information, particularly the growing amount of data stored on distributed desktops, remote and laptop computers. The Cisco Unified Computing System enables more dynamic and agile data centers, in which server identity (MAC addresses, worldwide names [WWNs], firmware and BIOS revisions, network and storage connectivity profiles and policies, etc.) can be dynamically provisioned or migrated to any physical server within the system. Green IT, or otherwise known as Green Computing is the concept of building computer hardware and software system with the minimal impact to the environment. High availability data systems optimize the reliability of data storage systems by providing redundancy only of critical components to eliminate single points of failure. A single point of failure occurs when the failure of a single component of a system causes the entire system to cease operating, resulting in the potential loss of data. Therefore, one goal in designing a high availability data storage system is to provide a satisfactory level of reliability while keeping the cost of the system in check. Next-generation data centers have specific server networking needs, and the Cisco Nexus 5010 one-rack unit (RU) switch provides an Ethernet-based unified fabric that's designed to meet those needs. |
