Today, Digital world is constantly evolving and the usage of IT services has tremendously grown in the recent years, says Ravi Namboori.
Data center managers are under tremendous pressure in executing the multiple demands which includes protecting huge data volumes, critical IT applications, adhering to challenging SLA’s, compliance with environmental initiatives, and managing widely spread heterogeneous complex network environments.
With growing number of smart phones, mobile electronic devices and tablets, both the data centers and IT departments are coming under massive pressure to fulfill the demand surge. This continues in coming years more aggressively and no sign of slowing down, Ravi Namboori adds.
The role and structure of data centers has to undergo simultaneous transformation along with growing data volumes and global IT needs. Global IT organizations need to retain business agility and competitive strength to further strengthen themselves to withstand in current competitive arena.
Organizations should focus more on investing in equipment and facilities rather than staffing in the coming years, adds Ravi Namboori a data center expert. There is need for further technology innovations which enables companies to extract more from available resources and keeps control on capital and operational costs.
Data center managers are focusing more on facilities management as the complexity in handling business and technology aspects is growing among modern data centers. IT managers have brought IT infrastructure management and energy efficiencies under spotlight which significantly influences the overall performance.
Recent studies on data center evolution states that right blend of tools and technologies is required to address the main stream challenges that modern data centers are facing today (Article on datacenterknowledge.com). Cloud computing and open hybrid cloud models are gaining prominence in the recent technology trends and are considered to be the most influencing alternatives to address the challenges of modern data centers.
Modular approach enables data centers to optimize the infrastructure resource utilization and minimize the operational expenses. By leveraging the best from hybrid open cloud models the data center managers have achieved significant enhancement in security levels for information and mission critical IT applications.
IT organizations are leveraging best from recent technology innovations and achieved better data center service levels, efficient storage and server management, effective monitoring of virtual and physical network environments with significant reduction in budget and operational expenses, Ravi Namboori adds.
