During customer briefings, I’ll often use the concept of the Lego data center when talking about the vision behind Data Center 3.0. The joy of Lego (for me at least) is the ability to build something then, (sometimes violently) break it apart and build something else. This is the operational model we look to bring to the data center—sans most of the violence–with Data Center 3.0.
Virtualization has a central role in this vision, but asset virtualization introduces its own challenges. Arthur Cole has a posting today where he notes that “Management issues begin to get more complicated once virtual servers start to rely on virtual storage.†I’d actually take it a step further than that.
Check out this interesting post on the Cisco blog talking about virtualization, it mentions some interesting points about virtualization of the IT infrastructure, not just the server, do check it out.
