The advent of cloud, one of the most disruptive technologies of the last 20 years, has upended data centers, and how we think they traditionally function.
Since its inception, cloud has driven a fundamental shift in how organizations think about their business and technology strategies. The change in thinking has brought elements of traditional infrastructure products, and containerized solutions alongside devops, open-source software and analytics to the forefront.
As a result, Next Gen Data centers are here and the days of organizations needing entire buildings dedicated to housing their network are numbered.
However, while the technology is incredible and can enable efficiency and cost savings, it can also be overwhelming to think about the logistics involved in migrating to a Next Gen Data Center. Users also have to consider what these data centers require to function efficiently.
Ultimately, Next Gen Data Centers need to be open, programmable and cloud ready.
Starting with the proper foundation, such as Cisco’s Cloud Scale technology, combined with the right SDN solution, a Cloud Center can put your partners on track to creating an efficient, cost-saving solution with full visibility into resources.
Cisco Cloud technology brings all of your resources under a common orchestration and management layer. And, networks such as this enable real-time, pervasive visibility into your entire data center. With this increased visibility, users can effectively mitigate risk, improve IT agility, and accelerate cloud journeys.
