The early 1980s marked a revolution in the chip industry. System architecture
shifted from the board level to the chip level, making it possible to compile
a chip.
The data center is undergoing a similar evolution that will enable
organizations to compile their dream data center. How? By leveraging software
and virtualization.
A New Model
Significant changes can be seen in data centers already. Traditionally, data
centers have been comprised of a complex and diverse array of servers
performing discrete tasks. Critical business servers have been dependent on
dozens or even hundreds of underlying data center components. A single
problem in one area often had a cascading impact on other areas.
Administrators, in turn, have been left with far too many variables with
which to contend.
Organizations now have a wealth of tools available to help them take control

Utility computing (UC) is a concept in which storage hardware resources are
pooled within a shared infrastructure of storage management and made
available as needed in a pay-as-you-go model. Ultimately, the end goal that
UC promises is to help companies more efficiently manage the resources they
currently have while holding down costs. To get there, and operate as a
utility, IT needs three key building blocks - availability, performance, and
automation - that apply across storage, servers and applications.
Before looking at the three key building blocks to UC in depth, it is best ... (more)
