Siloed
Infrastructureture
• Dedicated (Siloed) Infrastructure
• Isolated Workloads
• Inefficient use of Performance / Capacity
• Manually Managed
• Project Based
• Scale-up
A Fundamental Shift In App Design & Delivery
Apps span VMs
Data stored in scalable DBs, cached in memory tiers
Interaction via API,web or mobile
Apps run on a computer
Data stored in files
Interaction via UI

Agile Scalable Automated Predictable
“The demands of the NGDC -approach are now being felt strongly by IT organizations of all types; so much so that one can see data centers in the next few years either embracing such a move themselves, or buying their IT services from someone that does.”
Mark Peters, ESG
Next Generation Data Center delivers…
More agile and scalable infrastructure
Rapid application and service deployment
Increased application performance and predictability
Greater automation and end-user self-service
Improved operational efficiency and reduced costs
Getting to the Next Generation Data Center:
Consolidate – Automate – Scale…all with Guaranteed Performance
• Confidently run mixed workloads on a single platform
• Eliminate complex consolidation planning, guaranteed QoS
ensures predictable application performance
• Simplify operational management
• Reduce storage footprint, lower power and cooling costs
Consolidate
Automate
• Rapidly deploy applications & services to meet business needs
• Automated data distribution & load balancing eliminates
downtime, reduces administrative tasks
• Full REST based APIs enable deep integration with
management & orchestration platforms
• Reduce risk of human error
Scale
• Control capital budgets, granularly add capacity as needed
• Simply, granularly, non-disruptively expand infrastructure to
respond to business growth
• Architecture enables linear capacity and IOPs scaling
• Eliminate generational, forklift upgrades with mixed node
scaling
Guaranteed Performance
• Performance virtualization allows you allocate, manage and
guarantee performance to every application
• Provision performance independent of capacity
• Fine-grain QoS ensures your applications get exactly the
performance they need
• Adjust performance on the fly without downtime
