Today’s companies need to rethink how they approach their data center infrastructure so that they can keep up with evolving data storage, analytics, and networking considerations.
Endpoints are vulnerable to attack by cybercriminals because they are located at the edge of the network where companies have less visibility.
Companies often overprovision storage to anticipate future capacity changes or go through a lengthy process of provisioning hardware to meet growing demand.
Companies with traditional data centers rely on more expensive servers instead of lower-priced commodity hardware.
Fragmented tools and manual processes make it hard to monitor, maintain, and optimize the entire infrastructure effectively.
To take a more holistic approach to the data center, companies can virtualize their entire infrastructure through adopting a software-defined data center (SDDC). SDDC virtualizes servers, storage, and networking by using software to separate the control layer from the hardware layer. With SDDC, virtualizing servers increases flexibility and optimizes resources. Virtualized storage enables companies to create a storage pool for simplified management and data tiering. A virtualized network makes it easier to set policies, control traffic, and prioritize incidents. ProActive will work with your company to design a custom SDDC solution and help you transition to a virtualized data center infrastructure.
Companies need to be capable of scaling quickly to meet shifting capacity and performance demands. Unlike the traditional data center, the SDDC enables companies to spin up new storage and networking resources as workload requirements change. SDDC is highly flexible, with the potential for thousands of different configurations. Policy-driven provisioning helps companies respond quickly to requests for IT resources without the need for lengthy purchasing and provisioning processes. Instead, you can provision storage from the pool or allocate storage dynamically to give applications the capacity they need on demand. ProActive can help your company adapt its data center to changing application and workload needs by moving you to an SDDC.
Today’s advanced analytics require that the data center organize and provide access to large volumes of structured and unstructured data. SDDC offers a unified platform for storing and processing data so companies can gain real-time, actionable insights for making crucial business decisions. Data management processes, such as data tiering, can be performed automatically, ensuring that data is organized and stored optimally for processing by analytics applications.
ProActive will work with your organization to understand your approach to analytics and find the best way to support it through SDDC.
