Overview The data center has become the heart and soul of a company. It provides far more than just the technology aspect of a business. But the average data center has grown extremely complex. New technologies, fast growth, acquisitions, the online data explosion, and increased security concerns have driven complexity up and utilization rates down. In the recent years there have been an increase number of threats like terrorist attacks, state-wide power outages, and the hurricane and tornado season which have only exacerbated the challenges facing data centers. This paper addresses eight key trends and challenges that impact data centers now and will impact them into the future: connectivity, tiered storage management, thin provisioning, storage system resiliency, application availability, unified storage, security, and integrated data management.
