Featured Solution: Cisco Data Center Design & Implementation


Q. What data center requirements involve the combined efforts of facilities and IT staff?
Operating a data center at peak efficiency and reliability requires the combined efforts of facilities and IT staff.

Approximately half of the power consumed by a data center is required for cooling. As heat load increases, more floor space must be reserved for cooling equipment. Without high ceilings (20 feet or more), the hot exhaust air of servers is likely to become in-take air for servers mounted in the upper portion of a cabinet.

Use server-based energy management software tools to run workloads in the most energy-efficient way. This may include taking advantage of lower energy tariffs at different times.

In-house data centers can be a business weak link if proper attention isn’t paid to power use, cooling capacity, disaster recovery preparedness, running IT to support compliance initiatives, and staffing flexibility to support utility computing initiatives.

Storage virtualization is the pooling of physical storage from multiple network storage devices into what appears to be a single storage device that is managed from a central console. Storage virtualization is commonly used in storage area networks (SANs).

Desktop virtualization enables a centralized server to deliver and manage individualized desktops remotely. This gives users a full client experience, but lets IT staff provision, manage, upgrade and patch them virtually, instead of physically.

While you might think that the chances of having a major loss of data on your computer or even having your entire computer crash are very small, disasters happen and it is always best to prepare for the worst, especially when it comes to something as irreplaceable as your files.

With the Cisco UCS M71KR-E and M71KR-Q adapters, a maximum of two adapters are presented to the VMware ESX hypervisor running on the blade. Each of these adapters can be defined within the Cisco Unified Computing System as connected to an individual fabric interconnect and, optionally, enabling a failover to the other. This fabric failover enables a model in which the virtual machine data can use one path within the Cisco Unified Computing System by default, and all other connections can go on the other path.

Green IT can be defined as research in and use of IT in an efficient and environmentally friendly manner.

An effective High Availability (HA) data solution must address both unplanned and planned causes of downtime to achieve a truly fault tolerant and resilient IT infrastructure. Unplanned downtime is primarily the result of computer failures, data failures and human error. Planned downtime is primarily due to data changes or system changes that must be applied to the production system.

The Cisco Nexus 1000V provides real-time coordinated configuration of network and security services and maintains a virtual machine-centric management model, enabling the server administrator to increase both efficiency and flexibility.
