Businesses of all types and sizes are looking for ways to get more out of their already over-stretched IT resources.
At the same time, they are faced with new economic and technological pressures, and are trying to meet the needs of a wide range of users, both internal and external, who insist on top quality services, irrespective of the number of applications and users within the organisation.
Cloud computing has enabled businesses to lower costs, speed up development, and boost flexibility of the IT infrastructure, services and applications, and nowhere is this more true than with the cloud-enabled data centre.
Mark Young, senior director systems engineering, EMEA at Tintri, will be moderating one of the panel discussions at the ITWeb Data Centre Summit on 20 July at The Forum in Bryanston.
"Data centres today and data centres 20 years ago look nothing alike," says Young. The percentage of virtualised workloads has climbed from 2% to around 70% and clouds, both public and private, have rolled in."
He says infrastructure agility is the cornerstone to successful cloud-enabled data centres. However, traditional storage systems have progressively increased costs and complexity, and hindered the journey of data centre transformation from virtualised platforms to a cloud ready platform.
During his presentation, young will show delegates how organisations can shift their storage systems from being a bottleneck to enabling their virtualisation and cloud vision for the next generation data centre, and allow IT to become more responsive to business.
The presentation will cover VM-Awareness and the adaptive optimisation of resources to workload demands. It will also discuss performance, manageability and cost, and explain how to maintain the balance as you scale. Finally, it will show delegates how to leverage predictive analytics for effective planning.
