Simplifying Data Centers & Networks by Creating a Virtual Infrastructure Layer

Tags:
infrastructure management

Overview On a daily basis, data center managers and network administrators face significant challenges in managing complex multi-tiered IT environments - often on a global basis. There is a need to maximize resource usage 24/7/365 while simultaneously reducing management costs and maintaining a highly available, secure environment, all within strict budget constraints. This paper discusses the characteristics and benefits of a Virtual Infrastructure Layer (VIL) and how a solution can be realized in an integrated "Virtual infrastructure switch" that will help reduce network management costs and overall Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
