Building the Modern Cloud-Enabled Datacenter

On-Demand Webinar

Today’s modern datacenter is far different from what was the norm ten years ago. Today’s datacenter needs to be able to handle both demanding workloads while at the same time delivering high levels of availability. In this presentation you’ll learn about the key driving factors that are requiring IT to modernize their infrastructure. Then, you’ll see how the datacenter has evolved from the days of standalone servers, through virtualization and into the private and hybrid cloud. Here you’ll see how the private cloud uses virtualization as a foundation but goes beyond virtualization to deliver a dynamic, flexible and user-driven capabilities. Next, we’ll cover a solution called Microsoft Cloud Platform System that provides an integrated (compute, storage and networking) and pre-validated private cloud solution to deliver the availability and scalability that today’s workloads require.
