  • Does a proprietary solution automatically mean vendor lock-in?

    The dread of any IT manager is in making a significant purchase of hardware or software to then find that they are ‘locked in’ to one supplier. But is this still the case, asks analyst Clive Longbottom, in this report from Quocirca.

    Much has been said about the commoditisation of IT – servers are just processors in a box; network equipment is just ports; storage is just a collection of drives. Virtualisation and cloud computing have done away with all the need for complexity at the hardware level – hence the argument that the physical platform can be cheap and cheerful.

    Nothing could be further from the truth, unfortunately. Although abstraction through virtualisation does provide far greater flexibility to an IT platform, there will still remain solid dependencies between the abstracted virtual and the physical layers.

  • 33-page E-guide: Datacentres of tomorrow

    Ensuring uptime, resiliency and high-performance are top priorities for datacentre operators the world over, and is why it is so important for them to stay on top of the latest thinking in hardware design, server setups and facility management.  

    While some enterprises are undoubtedly gearing up for a wholesale, all-in move to the public cloud, others have applications and workloads that will need to remain on-premise for a long time to come. And, as a result, are investing in new servers and other assorted datacentre hardware accordingly.

    In this e-guide, we take a look at some of the technologies that are being widely-tipped to become a mainstay of datacentres in the future.  At the same time, it also touches upon some of the new and emerging technologies that look set to shake-up the way datacentres are managed, monitored, powered and cooled as well.
