Challenges In the Data Center

� Application environment is becoming more complex and business policy more demanding

� Server virtualization is driving traffic increases throughout the network

� Organizations continue to face server sprawl

Garter reports 12% growth in 2006 and rate is expected to increase

Power and cooling challenges limiting revenue growth

Server Environment is Diversifying in Response

� Data Center Application infrastructure is dramatically changing

� Standardization of application support infrastructure

� Mission Critical workloads moving onto blade servers & scale out servers

� Clusters of servers providing load-balancing and HA

� Virtual Machines widely adopted to simply infrastructure and increase availability

Evolve mid-sized systems into standard servers 1-, 4-RU

Scale Out

Consolidation of standard-servers into fewer, larger servers.

Scale Up

Consolidation of servers into modular chassis

Blade Servers

Virtual MachinesConsolidation of physical servers onto virtual servers
