SlideShare – Storage Requirements For the Next Generation Data Center

The Next Generation Data Center is HERE. These data centers are highly virtualized environments with extremely high virtual machine densities. They thrive on flexibility and cost efficiency. While most of these data centers are in the hands of cloud service providers (CSPs), more traditional enterprises see the benefits of the next generation data center and are adopting much of the CSP mentality. Because of their levels of VM density, these data centers change the storage I/O dynamic and essentially make the traditional storage array obsolete. In this SlideShare learn:

1. What is the Next Generation Data Center?
2. Why are Next Generation Data Centers ‘The End Game’ of IT?
3. How Do Next Generation Data Centers Break Storage?
4. How Does Storage Need to Change to Keep Up?

All SlideShare viewers that register for the on-demand version of the webinar will get complete audio and Q&A. They will also receive an exclusive, advanced copy of Storage Switzerland’s latest white paper “How to Design Storage for the Next Generation Data Center”.
