What is a Data Center?
Data Center Explained
- A data center is a physical facility that houses an organization’s routers, switches, servers, firewalls, and other components that enable critical applications and store and process data.
- Modern data centers are virtual infrastructures that support applications and communicate data across on-premise and cloud environments.
The shift to distributed data centers creates challenges
Traditional data centers were built with siloed infrastructure layers, purpose-built hardware, and fragmented management, resulting in complex deployment models and operations.
- 操作复杂,大多数组织都disparate network architectures and management tools with multiple switching hardware platforms, operating systems, and licensing or subscription plans.
- Slow service delivery/SLAs – IT spends countless hours on infrastructure requests and manual tasks, while stakeholders demand a faster cloud-like experience.
- Difficulty troubleshooting – The lack of visibility across both the physical and virtual networks means that IT spends about 70% of their time trying to identify and diagnose issues.
