Journey to a Dynamic Data Center: Private Cloud – Data Center Transformation
To Transform : The Definition
In an organizational
context, a process of profound and radical change that orients an organization in a new direction and takes it to an entirely different level of effectiveness. Unlike ‘turnaround‘ (which implies incremental progress on the same plane) transformation implies a basic change of character and little or no resemblance with the past configuration or structure.
Data Center Transform Definition: Why should it be any different
In a data center context, a process of profound and radical change that orients a data center in a new direction and takes it to an entirely different level of effectiveness. Unlike ‘turnaround‘ (which implies incremental progress on the same plane) transformation implies a basic change of data center environment and little or no resemblance with the past configuration or structure.
What should a cloud be?
- As Open as possible Architecture
- Reporting and management from Day 1
- Business Centric / Support Consumerization (Self Service)
- Adapt and absorb change not hold up change
- Support high level of availability 99.95% +
- Scale up and out very quickly
- Automated, Supportable & Self-Healing
- Secure from very edge to the core
All this above but without the high cost
Most of all it has to work for business not be a piece of technology
