Over the past 25 years, the evolution of the data center has been largely impacted by the pace of massive technological revolutions transforming the IT industry as a whole. Starting with the dot-com period to the cloud and virtualization era to today's Software-Defined Data Center Revolution, IT data centers have continually evolved. Moving from siloed architectures with dedicated systems to virtualized and cloud-based models that pool together compute, network and software resources, software-defined data centers are poised to increase business agility in the future.

This comic was created by me as the artistic director, with illustration and writing by comic artist Richy K. Chandler, while I was Head of Marketing for CASSARiUS. I wanted to explain a complicated product in a simple way to our customers. The analogy to Muesli, and the MyMuesli automated factory, bridged this gap. We partnered with MyMuesli, to give our customers free muesli samples and raise awareness of our data center automation offering.

Equinix's 7 Bold Predictions for the Connected Enterprise in 2017

Equinix

Read details of each prediction from the official Equinix blog: http://eqix.it/2hn1bdh We can’t predict the future of the entire IT industry, but we sit at an unusually good vantage point at Equinix to make an educated, data-driven forecast about what we see coming. That’s because we have the capability to look at what’s trending with more than 8,000 customers across 21 markets within ecosystems that sit at the center of cloud, IoT and analytics growth. And the patterns we are seeing show a massive digital transformation under way. Digital has disrupted business as usual, and new revenue models and ways of competing are taking hold. To successfully make the shift to digital business, organizations are realizing they need transform IT by “flipping” their architectures from siloed and fixed to integrated and dynamic. This shift requires an interconnection-first strategy that enables enterprises and service providers to directly and securely connect their partners, customers and end users to anything, anywhere, on any device. Digital businesses simply can’t compete without an integrated and dynamic strategy to make that happen. As things change quickly, we're taking advantage of our special perspective at the center of it all to predict what you can expect in “7 Bold Predictions for the Connected Enterprise.” We’ll be exploring these predictions in more detail in the coming days, but these previews will get us started.

100G and Beyond DC Interconnect: Present and Future

Susmita Adhikari Joshi

The insatiable desire for more capacity and faster datarate arising from the explosion in bandwidth-intense applications necessitates deployment of higher capacity WDM systems in both inside datacenter and metro datacenter interconnects systems. This demand for higher datarates is reflected by the numerous standardization and study groups commenced in the last couple of years. While the standardization scrutinizes the requirements for smooth migration for a datacenter interconnect with distances of upto 40km, the upgrade to high capacity DC metro access networks (beyond 40km), where no standardization exists, needs to address the economic viability together with greater space, power and bandwidth efficiency requirements. This presentation focuses on both of these areas and elucidates the current trends and evolving technologies to deal with the dynamically shifting landscape of DCI.

Data Center Interconnect Seamlessly with SDN

Pluribus Networks

Data Center Interconnect Seamlessly With SDN Data Center Interconnect, or DCI, has become a hot topic as IT infrastructures transform from islands of connectivity to pools of resources for efficiency purposes. Properly deployed, DCI enables all computing and storage resources to be pooled, regardless of where they physically reside, and it is the quality of this abstraction and the associated visibility that counts. Enter Pluribus Networks running on Broadcom chipsets Join us for this On-Demand Webinar where we will discuss why Data Center Interconnect is a key opportunity to simplify any network and how Broadcom chipsets enable this with their industry-leading VXLAN capabilities. Pluribus Netvisor®-powered switches running on Broadcom include the industry’s most powerful and open DCI technology, VXLAN, which enables all resources across the entire planet to be shared. Along with VXLAN itself, we will explain the role of visibility in a widely distributed VXLAN based environment. In this On-Demand Webinar, we'll discuss how DCI running on Broadcom VXLAN can: *Share IT resources and increase utilization of those resources *Provide enterprise scale, simplicity and agility – reducing the cost and complexity of IT *Support modern applications including Converged Infrastructure and VDI To view the full recorded webinar visit: http://go4.pluribusnetworks.com/datacenter-interconnect-seamlessly-through-sdn.html
