Featured Solution: Cisco Data Center Design & Implementation
A data center is a place where business operate the part of their IT infrastructure that requires the highest grade of power, bandwidth, air conditioning, monitoring, and technical support.
Data Centers are needed to protect against data loss. Statistics about the harm done to businesses by data loss in a disaster, suggest that nearly 50 percent of companies report each hour of downtime could cost up to $50K. Beyond backup and recovery protection, ensuring maximum data center availability and up time is clearly crucial to business success.
Data center managers should implement improvements to your facilities. for example, raise the temperature of the data center and use energy management software.
Five issues IT managers must consider to ensure smooth data center operations are as follows: Regulatory compliance, disaster recovery/business continuance, power, Hosted Solutionscooling, and IT as a service will be dominant themes in the coming year as companies work to manage their IT assets to support business goals.
Virtualization can be viewed as part of an overall trend in enterprise IT that includes autonomic computing, a scenario in which the IT environment will be able to manage itself based on perceived activity, and utility computing, in which computer processing power is seen as a utility that clients can pay for only as needed.
Hypervisor software is the secret sauce that makes virtualization possible. This software, also known as a virtualization manager, sits between the hardware and the operating system, and decouples the operating system and applications from the hardware. The hypervisor assigns the amount of access that the operating systems and applications have with the processor and other hardware resources, such as memory and disk input/output.
Many IT departments encourage users to save critical data to available network servers under the control of enterprise software. This policy, in most cases, is not successful, since users store data locally, especially mobile users who are seldom connected to a network.
The Cisco Unified Computing System creates a highly dynamic and cohesive integration with network and storage resources to meet the rapidly changing needs in today's data centers.
Green IT facilities offer employees a healthy, comfortable work environment. In addition, green facilities enhance relations with local communities.
Both small businesses and global enterprises have users all over the world who require access to data 24 hours a day. Without this data access, revenue and customers can be lost, penalties can be owed, and bad press can have a lasting effect on customers and a company's reputation. Building a high availability IT infrastructure is critical to the success and well being of all enterprises in today's fast moving economy.
The Cisco Nexus 5010 Switch foundation is built upon High-performance 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Data Center Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and Virtual-machine-optimized networking.
