Marketing Information: Advanced Features to Transform Data Centers
Data centers continue to evolve, creating a need for an infrastructure that can support growth in Virtual Machines (VMs), distributed applications, and data, as well as the transition to cloud-based computing-without compromising performance. However, traditional data centers typically use inflexible, three-tier network designs that cannot efficiently manage east-west traffic or deliver the bandwidth needed to support virtualization and new service delivery. In addition, with the movement toward cloud computing, the importance of deploying a flexible and responsive network infrastructure only grows.
To support the new direction of IT service delivery, data center operators need networks that are high performance, operationally efficient, automated, and elastic. The ideal network will be easy to manage and scale to meet demand as well as adapt to future requirements.
