Responding to virtualized cloud computing requirements Enterprise IT architecture transfer

Market watchers believe that cloud computing, virtualization and mobile-office trends have become the driving force behind current corporate network changes. They also say that while companies have increased their investment in server, storage and network integration, the problem has not been completely resolved.

Recently, ZDNet reporter interviewed the Frost&sullivan company Asia-Pacific ICT researcher Mayankkapoor. In an interview, Kapoor that virtualization and cloud computing have become the biggest drivers of today's development of regional network markets. These technologies greatly increase the flow of data from computers and storage terminals, thus enhancing the need for "flatdatacenterarchitecture".

The trend towards cloud computing technology has led to a convergence of enterprise IT architectures, leading to the need for enterprises to upgrade their Lan,wan and SAN architectures to achieve on-demand access to remote users.

According to Kapoor's view, the development of virtualized optical fiber networks will eliminate future network bottlenecks. "In today's virtualized environment, traditional network architectures can lead to inefficient transmission," he says. ”

He also said that connecting each node in the network would no longer require the traditional STP protocol (SPANNINGTREEPROTOCOL) and routing loops, which would improve network transmission efficiency while eliminating network transmission bottlenecks and latency problems.

In addition to virtualization and cloud computing, Kapoor points out that mobility is a new trend in the web market. Amolmitra, has Asia Pacific and Japan, said that in the past because of the use of wired networks, users must "follow the network." Now, with the popularity of smartphone devices, the network must follow the user.

Junipernetworks Asia Pacific Enterprise Solutions Manager C.k.lam also said the company is struggling with a wide range of mobile devices, most of which are personal devices, in an effort to incorporate these devices into the corporate network and manage them. These devices primarily affect the enterprise's wireless network architecture, and many enterprises ' wireless networks were initially built without considering supporting so many devices and traffic.

Ciscosystems Asia Pacific Business manager Srinivasnadesan that wireless networks are now as much valued as cable networks, he says: "The massive growth of mobile devices" has enabled companies to allocate a large portion of their network investment to wireless networks, It is used to construct wireless security protection system which is equivalent to wired network. ”
