Are there benefits to moving to a defined data center? Check this article out
For small businesses that want to grow into larger ones, the company data center can be a key factor in limiting growth. However, companies can get around that hurdle by building a software-defined data center (SDCC), which can boost capacity, improve compliance controls and lower costs. As companies grow and their data center operations expand, they face increasingly tight constraints, especially in their ability to cool their data centers and ensure that a power failure doesn’t cause a major outage — all the while adding to a stockpile of aging hardware. Moving to a virtualized data center environment can help firms cut their power consumption and costs, and lets them avoid upgrades to generators and electrical power supplies.
