Why the Next-Gen Data Center Must Be ‘Green’

The data center has undergone a number of major changes over the years, from mainframes to client/server computing to web-scale computing. This evolution occurred over decades, but in recent years the changes have been fast and furious. Key trends include the rapid rise of cloud computing, ever-increasing demand for storage, and the growing adoption of artificial intelligence, data analytics and other resource-intensive applications. One consequence of the accelerated evolution read more...

IT Complexity Drives the Need for AI-Powered Performance Monitoring

When we think about IT complexity, we often visualize stacks of hardware appliances. But there’s growing complexity in what you don’t see — the systems, services, and tools that underlie modern applications. According to a recent study conducted by Vanson Bourne, the typical mobile or web application transaction crosses 37 different technology systems or components. This increase in complexity makes it harder for organizations to manage read more...

In a previous post, we discussed the Transit Gateway managed service from Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS Transit Gateways act as a hub for connecting multiple Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) and virtual private network (VPN) connections within a single region. They enable a hub-and-spoke model with centralized control of traffic routed among VCPs. As we explained previously, Transit Gateways have some limitations — for one read more...

Why More Enterprises Are Adopting Network Functions Virtualization

The result is a highly complex network environment that is difficult to manage and lacks the agility to meet today’s changing business demands. That’s slowly changing as more organizations adopt network functions virtualization (NFV). As the name implies, read more...
