The current data center design and implementation shift

A greater shift is underway in data center infrastructure intervention and design. Many public and sequestered entities have shifted from making comprehensive hardware and software purchases in the mould of components of servers, storage and applications to in place buying pre-packaged bundles, building blocks and/or PODS. This incline is part of a more modular given conditions center design approach based on seller tested and certified reference architectures. These modular structure blocks are typically all inclusive of the hardware and software components and customizations required to generality the applications, and they form the bottom of consolidated private clouds.

The intimation architecture will include hardware and software components that have been selected, tested and tuned by the vendors instead of by the IT stick. This is a good thing towards frazzled IT folks who have their hands replete just keeping legacy applications running. Since the -hearted work of designing solutions and implementing and tuning components has before that time been done, IT teams can point of convergence on providing better services rather than getting sucked in to more mundane tasks like as assuring a particular application server is implemented strictly. Since the vendor has already tuned the disintegration, the IT team no longer needs to worry that the application infrastructure has the modify performance and reliability built into it.

Examples of these modular pile blocks are all over the square. Consider Oracle's Exadata solution, EMC's VBlocks, HP CloudSystem, HDS VSP, IBM's CCMP RA, and PODS from NetApp and FalconStor.  Most of these solutions procure provisions to some or all of the requirements concerning the four elements of what IT does:

Provision

Protect

Replicate

Recover
