FAILURE OF INFRASTRUCTUREAND DATA CENTER ARCHITECTURESTO EVOLVEWILL LEAD TO DECAY AND INCREASINGLY INEFFICIENT IT
Growing Pains
IDC “Datacenter of the Future” March 2009
5 VMs per server growing to 8 per server by 2012
1 admin per 25
standalone servers
1 admin per 35 virtual servers 19.1% of all new servers
shipped in 2012 will be virtualized

Problem•Too much information to manage•Rapid and constant change•Need to know•Desire / need to react
Adaptation •Push takes over from pull•Strategic points of control begin to emerge
Solution•Automation of reaction begins•Send me an e-mail•React on my behalf based on context

DYNAMIC(COLLABORATIVE)INFRASTRUCTURE
You can’t react to what you can’t see
Visibility Data Collabo
ration Intercept bi-directional application and data stream at all
points of control Each network device needs the ability to see all protocols Reporting, notification, trending
You can’t act on what you don’t understand
Context Decision
Collaboration
Put user application and data stream in context Understand and relate the context of the user, device,
location, network, application, virtualization, and resource Constant optimization requires continuous feedback loop
You can’t make decisions without feedback
Feedback
Decision
Collaboration
Relate visibility and content to predetermined business policy
Determine and direct appropriate response
You can’t collaborate if you don’t communicate
Integration
Communication
Collaboration
All strategic points of control synchronize, communicate and leverage functions & intelligence
Open, standards-based API for cross product integration and integration with 3rd parties.
