Data Centre Optimisation

A New Direction for a Changing World

Virtualisation, Cloud Computing, SOA and the demand for efficiencies derived through technology initiatives are driving today’s data centres in a new direction. Although the requirement for user access remains a priority an explosion in back end system interconnections now rival the volumes of user traffic. Traffic that was once bi-directional is now omnidirectional and scaling legacy architectures to cope with increased demand can prove to be a false economy. Advances in infrastructure, cooling systems and energy efficient hardware now mean it is possible to support disparate requirements as a single logical fabric (cloud) in addition to improving performance and reducing cost.

What are the Benefits?

• Reduced latency and improved performance
• Greater flexibility and increased business agility
• Improved utilisation and efficiency of systems
• Fewer physical devices
• Utility efficiency (power and cooling)
• Consolidated real estate needs
• Reduced cost

How is this Achieved?

• Hardware consolidation – utilising technology advances to ensure resource efficiency
• Architectural model alignment – ensuring that the data centre architecture model is aligned to “real world” and not “legacy” traffic flows.
• Utility efficiency – taking a modular approach in power and cooling “right-sizing” to ensure efficiency.
