The document discusses the need to transform IT architecture to hyperscale data centers to meet increasing demands for compute, data, and networking resources driven by digitalization, IoT, and cloud computing. Hyperscale data centers can achieve higher resource utilization and lower costs while enabling new approaches to building, managing, and running services with increased speed. However, data center operators face questions in realizing hyperscale, which this paper addresses by outlining considerations for transforming infrastructure, from hardware to applications.

Time to transform
The digitalization of industries, the Internet of Things and
cloud computing all require vastly increased compute, data
and networking resources. It’s time for transformation of IT
architecture.

going hyperscale
Hyperscale data centers are smarter, more flexible and
better able to achieve increased resource utilization levels
while reducing total cost of ownership.

From hardware to
applications
Hyperscale goes beyond
hardware to impact the software
layer, including operating systems
and cloud platforms. It transforms
resource orchestration, workload
execution and even applications.

Hyperscale means
hyperspeed
In fact, this architecture enables
entirely new approaches to building,
managing and running services.

The hyperscale
challenge
However, data center operators
face questions before realizing
hyperscale. This paper sets out
the key considerations at every
layer – from hardware to
applications.
