This Smart Data Center approach makes IT more agile by automating processes and centralizing control that span systems, clouds and data centers. Smart Data Center is very different from traditional IT administration. It automates decision-making, insight and guidance through predictive analytics, IoT and prescriptive intelligence. These advanced capabilities centralize the management of IT infrastructure for simple as well as complex operations.

Smart Data Center Facilities Solution does away with the inflexible, unpredictable services provided by conventional data centers, improves ROI, and solves over-use of energy.

Why is it so important to modernize a datacenter? With the growing demand for intense data processing, a datacenter is not just required to manage the equipment but also support a variety of deployment techniques such as Internet of Things (IoT), cloud, SaaS, PaaS and so on.

Reduced cost: Hardware is most often the highest cost in the data center. Reduce the amount of hardware used and you reduce your cost. But the cost goes well beyond that of hardware – lack of downtime, easier maintenance, less electricity used. Over time, this all adds up to a significant cost savings.

Easier backups: Not only can you do full backups of your virtual server, you can do backups and snapshots of your virtual machines. These virtual machines can be moved from one server to another and redeployed easier and faster. Snapshots can be taken throughout the day, ensuring much more up-to-date data. And because firing up a snapshot is even faster than booting a typical server, downtime is dramatically cut.

Faster redeploy: When you use a physical server and it dies, the redeploy time depends on a number of factors: Do you have a backup server ready? Do you have an image of your server? Is the data on your backup server current? With virtualization, the redeploy can occur within minutes. Virtual machine snapshots can be enabled with just a few clicks. And with virtual backup tools like Veeam, redeploying images will be so fast your end users will hardly notice there was an issue.

Single-minded servers: I've never been a big fan of all-in-one services. Not only are you looking at a single point of failure, you have services competing with resources as well as with each other. Those all-in-ones are purchased to save money. With virtualization, you can easily have a cost-effective route to separating your email server, your web server, your database server, etc. By doing this, you will enjoy a much more robust and reliable data center.

Less heat buildup: Millions of dollars have gone into the research and design of heat dissipation and control in the data center. But the cold, hard fact is, all of those servers generate heat. The only way around that? Use fewer servers. How do you manage that? Virtualization. Virtualize your servers and you're using less physical hardware. Use less physical hardware and you generate less heat. Generate less heat in your data center and a host of issues go away.

Despite the knowledge, there remains a bottleneck on the road towards smart and scalable datacenters. Studies and surveys have shown that most organisations believe that a smart datacenter can only be achieved only through software. The potential of hardware efficiency still remains unknown. It is the effective and brilliant amalgamation of hardware and software that will help organisations achieve their dreams of smart datacenters.
