New technologies like hyperconvergence are transforming the data center by allowing servers, storage, networking, and virtualization to be managed through a single system. This simplifies operations and reduces costs. It also improves performance, data protection, and the ability to scale. Specifically, hyperconvergence solutions like Nutanix and SimpliVity integrate computing resources into a single appliance that can be managed through one dashboard. This streamlines provisioning and administration while optimizing storage usage. The growth of internet traffic and data storage demands is driving further data center transformation through software-defined networking and other technologies that make infrastructure more flexible and automated.

11. The data center is the department in an enterprise that houses and maintains back-end
information technology (IT) systems and data stores—its mainframes, servers and
databases. In the days of large, centralized IT operations, this department and all the
systems resided in one physical place, hence the name data center.
12. • Increasing demand for compute power & east-west server traffic
• Rise of power & cooling need per rack
• Demand for high capacity switching/routing
• Agility to scale up & down as needed, Flexible, Future proof
• Simple and transparent change procedures
