Dynamic Data Center: Putting all the pieces together18-09-2008 |

Success is inherently a matter of adaptability. This is something that companies and organizations in our globally networked world see day after day. In their race to gain customers and market share, they are increasingly confronted with the question of how they can use their IT to respond better to new challenges. Regardless of whether the objective is to secure market share, seize new business opportunities or cut costs through business process optimization - IT is crucial to the successful implementation of corporate strategies. Yet many managers know that their IT cannot cope with this role on account of rigid, inflexible structures and that the complexity of their IT ties up too many financial and human resources.
Storage and compute resources are pooled and automatically assigned to applications according to business priorities. Thus IT becomes not only more agile, more efficient and more reliable but is also well-prepared for integration into service-oriented architectures.
Pre-tested and quality assured Dynamic IT solutions for key applications in SAP, Oracle, Microsoft and tape environments reduce implementation time to a minimum. Developed once and used by several hundred companies worldwide they provide a quick path towards higher service orientation of IT.
Our dynamic IT solutions are developed in three phases:
In the first phase, virtualization technologies are used to create resource pools that are supplied to the applications. In the second phase, automated resource allocation is carried out with the aid of the appropriate software tools, which ensures that the desired service levels are met. Once the technological framework for the solution concept has been created, the final phase involves integrating and testing it with the desired application scenarios (such as SAP or Oracle environments, Microsoft SQL servers or Exchange).
Virtualization as part of the Fujitsu Siemens Computers Dynamic Data Center concept
Virtualization is an essential layer in the Fujitsu Siemens Computers Dynamic Data Center (DDC). DDC is a concept for a next-generation hardware and software architecture focusing on end-user services and SLAs. This combination makes on-demand computing a reality.
DDC uses virtualization, automation and integration technologies to move companies on to a service-oriented architecture in which computers and database resources can be assigned to applications dynamically. This yields increased flexibility and reliability as well as a considerable improvement in the cost-effectiveness of the IT infrastructure.
Virtualization of resources means that IT systems are pooled and shared for best usage. Automation ensures that IT resources are automatically allocated to services, while all of the building blocks are seamlessly integrated.
