How will the data center develop in 2011? The following are the top 10 trends in the data center in 2011:
X86 is everywhere in the data center is a heterogeneous place, but this situation will not last long, the data center will be the world of x86 processors in the future, most of them come from Intel, AMD just won scattered With a little bit of market share, the rise of x86 has long been nothing new. Sales of x86 servers have long surpassed Unix servers and mainframes.
According to IDC's estimates, most of the server sales revenue in 2010 came from x86 servers, accounting for 66.1% in the third quarter of last year. It is expected that this trend will continue and will not decrease.
The end of Unix X86's dominance in the data center has caused Unix to decline. In the data center procurement plan in 2010, Unix servers dropped particularly sharply. Oracle's acquisition of Sun accelerated the demise of Unix, although some reports showed that Oracle/Sun sales remained stable. However, Oracle boosted support prices, eliminating plans for many data center managers to purchase Unix servers.
Not just a reason for virtualizing and automating X86 to dominate the data center is virtualisation. There is no doubt that this is also the trend of the data center in the past 10 years. But there are signs that the lively scene of virtualization is coming to an end and IT departments have already Virtualized workloads are all virtualized, and many organizations are planning to implement private cloud computing on virtual infrastructures in the hope of reducing human tasks such as running reports, deploying new workloads, testing disaster recovery plans, and more. Although it sounds beautiful, early actors stated that they have encountered many problems in the automation and private cloud processes, and most of them have gone beyond IT.
Storage and Data Network Convergence Looking at current enterprise servers, Gigabit LANs, and SAN-attached Fibre Channel HBAs are standard, 10GbE is becoming the new darling, and data center managers want to leverage 10GbE's bandwidth advantages to carry both storage and data communications. However, there are still many obstacles. For example, many existing storage systems are not directly connected to Ethernet. Therefore, special bridging devices are required. In addition, many IT organizations’ network and storage personnel do not work together, and moving to a converged network may also require a transition period.
The explosive growth of storage IT professionals still need to fight against growth-free application data. Gartner expects the data center's storage capacity to grow by 800% this year. What's worse is that after virtualization is implemented, storage and network must be able to meet live migration. In order to control the growth of storage, data center managers must study technologies such as data archiving and data deduplication. Otherwise, the data center budget will have to be increased.
One of the most pressing issues facing up-and-coming DCIM tools IT managers now is to extend the life of data centers by optimizing power and cooling efficiency. As systems become more complex and changeable, traditional spreadsheet or Visio diagrams have become difficult Tracking data center infrastructure components, power and cooling equipment vendors have taken the opportunity to introduce data center infrastructure management (DCIM) tools that can help data center professionals avoid hotspots, overprovisioning equipment, and other challenges. There are also third-party vendors joining the battle, some using 3D models to simulate the entire data center, including infrastructure component moves, additions and changes, and even tools to adjust server power consumption and improve system efficiency.
The DCIM tool is still in its infancy, and everyone is at the stage of exploration. In the next few years we will see more and better DCIM tools.
The focus of the hosted data center will shift to cloud computing. Hosting data center providers began targeting large enterprise data centers last year. Many companies have run out of data center space, but they are unable to build new data centers and move to lease hosting data. The center's space, in the case of tight funding, has to invest tens of millions of dollars to build a new data center, and any company is not willing to do so. This year, everyone is chasing cloud computing. Whether cloud computing can really save IT costs and whether cloud computing can make cloud service providers rich have yet to be reviewed. However, many companies are already eager to invest their money in the cloud, cloud, and infrastructure as a service. Both platform-as-a-service and software-as-a-service providers require enterprise-class data center infrastructure. In the field, they want data centers to be closer to end users in order to minimize network delays. They need diverse networks that need to be rapidly expanded. Cloud computing will be the best choice.
IT operations and management systems SaaS IT cost analysis, desktop help, IT service management, and even data center infrastructure monitoring - only a handful of systems management software tools cannot be handled as a service, SalesForce. Com and ServiceNow provide IT departments with many needed application features and no headaches for upgrades and maintenance issues. The four cloud computing companies are taking this path and delivering their tools in SaaS mode. More and more companies are turning to SaaS because these tools are easier to purchase and deploy, although overall costs will be higher over time.
The container data center was buoyed about five years ago. Almost everyone thought that the Blackbox launched by Sun Microsystems was very funny. It should be the originator of the container data center. Now, the second wave of container data center waves hits, and its size is smaller than the previous generation. SGI's latest ICE Cube Exandable modular data center is an example. Other hardware manufacturers have also launched their own container data centers, container data centers. Not only is it easy to install, the computational power per unit area is surprising, and the data center space has been used more efficiently. It can be predicted that no one will laugh at the container data center in the future, and it will be favored by various users.
