The data center infrastructure is critical to the evolution of IT from a cost center to a business enabler by delivering the infrastructure and applications required rapidly and efficiently. Virtualization and cloud technologies have changed the way IT managers think about the data center. Applications no longer map to a single physical server (or set of servers) and storage - virtualization is the first step at leveraging poolsof compute and storage resources to optimize the underlying infrastructure.
