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. Recent changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure put IT on the front lines for ensuring a business is complying with regulations, notably Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA. Not only is it necessary to store key data for longer periods, but being able to retrieve information at a granular level - right down to specific emails - is now an IT responsibility, so a data center that is not handled properly could result in a trip before a judge. Energy costs are rising for most data centers. Companies should employ tools and techniques to manage the energy cost curve. Most line of business managers take for granted 100 percent IT up time, instant access to trained support personnel, uninterrupted access to data, and are dependent on top-flight management of IT assets in data centers. The usual goal of virtualization is to centralize administrative tasks while improving scalability and work loads. Ini a virtualized network, each virtual machine can interact independently with other devices, applications, data and users as though it were a separate physical resource. 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. There is growing pressure from environmentalists and, increasingly, the general public for governments to offer green incentives: monetary support for the creation and maintenance of ecologically responsible technologies. 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 Nexus 1000V switch is a software switch on a server that delivers Cisco VN-Link services to virtual machines hosted on that server. It takes advantage of the VMware vSphere framework to offer tight integration between server and network environments and help ensure consistent, policy-based network capabilities to all servers in your data center. |
