The data center of the future in terms of technology will be:-
Virtualized
Constituted of private and public (cloud) elements
Converged
Automated
Self-service
Network centric
Energy efficient
Self Managing
It means that:-
Hardware will no longer be unique (it will be commodity based)
Hardware will no longer be under-utilised (it will be running at 70%+)
Reduced Manual Support of Hardware and Software (it will be automated)
IT Focus will no longer be asset based (it will service based)
Reduced CapEx and Reduced OpEX (hopefully)
Reuse, Reuse, Reuse at every level
The companies/communities driving this change:-
The big(er) vendors
IBM
HP
Cisco
EMC
Intel
Dell
Oracle/Sun
VMware
Redhat
Citrix
Microsoft
Google
AMD
The small(er) Vendors
Netapp
InteliCloud
LiquidIQ
Panduit
Egenera
Xsigo
and others
The community
Opensource
The purpose of this blog is to:
Focus on the companies/communities driving this change
To be technology focused (because that is what i like)

In this post I decided to explain a little as to what FCoE is and why it has a role in bringing convergence to the data center.What is FCoE?FCoE is Fibre Channel Over Ethernet - this is the encapsulating of the fibre Ch...
