Data Center Demo: The Challenge, The Opportunity And The Action
Description
The Challenge
Application, server compute and storage architectures in the data center have evolved, but the network architecture that ties it all together has not. Making these data center resources flexible and efficient requires an evolution of the network to provide the agility demanded by cloud computing models, virtualized server models, and today's service oriented applications.
The Opportunity
Matching the network architecture to changes in applications, compute and storage is key to accelerate, optimize and improve the benefits that virtualization and distributed applications have delivered. A modern, efficient network fabric provides the foundation for efficiency and agility and a new security model segments the network virtually and provides visibility into the physical and virtual data center without impacting performance and predictability of applications.
The Action
A fabric network in the data center increases efficiency by simplifying any-to-any connectivity, improving performance while reducing complexity and increasing resiliency. Security filtering technologies, policy enforcement and traffic segmentation, are critical to using virtual assets efficiently and safely.
