The ten essential hardware of modern data center

Adding components can elevate your data center to a new level, not only to improve security, but also to improve your overall service level. There is no substitute for quality. Even if the cost of control does not shrink the quality of the data center, customers expect the data center to be fully functional at all times, with iron-general security and superior performance. Adding these 10 hardware will provide you and your customers with excellent service and outstanding security.

The ten essential hardware of modern data center

1. Blade Server

Deploying blade servers can save more space, more energy and more time. One of the main advantages of blade servers is that they use solid-state drives as standard internal storage. As blade technology matures and other hardware formats continue to shrink, they will be the computing pillar of the global data center.

2. Flywheel Energy Storage Ups

It is not the green energy revival of data centers brought about by new technologies. Green is because the use of lead-acid batteries as storage standby energy. The flywheel UPS system can store a large amount of electrical energy in a relatively small and light medium. In the event of a power outage, flywheel ups will supply an uninterrupted power supply until the main generator is online and provides stable power for the equipment and facilities.

3.Retina Scanner

Preventing unauthorized physical access to sensitive systems is important for data center security. Retina scanners provide a high level of security against intrusion, theft, and destruction. Secret cards and security tokens may be stolen, but retina are unique to other types of security devices and are not easily mangled, stolen, or replicated.

4.100GB Ethernet Switch

High-speed Ethernet is a necessary condition for large amount of data exchange between systems. 100Gb Ethernet is the next transition to the limits of broadband connectivity in the data center. For critical workloads, server to server communication must be near instantaneous, and 100Gb Ethernet will enable you to get closer to this goal.

5. Wireless access Point

With the surge in the supply of tablets, netbooks and cheap laptops, support workers are looking for liquidity data centers. Only with wireless access, system administrators and hardware devices individuals are not limited to wired and inaccessible server remote systems. Remember to use secure access codes to minimize unauthorized use.

6. Digital Data Grinder

Every data center needs to have a data grinder, just as why every office needs a shredder. A data grinder is a device that connects a disk drive and clears all the data on it. The grinder can make the data on the disk unrecoverable. All disks removed from the system should be given priority access to the shredder process and returned. Yes, this is a lot more than a regular reformatting of a drive in the server, but your sensitive data is worth trying to protect and be sure not to peek.

7.SSD SAN Storage

This year, the data center should begin transitioning to a solid-state disk (SSD)-rich, high-speed access storage SAN. Solid-State drives are more expensive, so you should use workloads that are higher in disk I/O requirements. Do not waste their high-priced high capacity on the need for file storage or long-term backup.

8.KVM Console Server

Running "mindless" data centers sounds like managing a huge stadium, but try, you'll be eager to change your mind. No, you don't need to attach a monitor, keyboard and mouse on every system in the data center. You should do this, but with a KVM console server, your system administrator can do the job more efficiently. Searching the entire datacenter and looking for an effective failure is a waste of time in one minute and slows down the workflow. The KVM system is relatively inexpensive and easier to maintain on hundreds of systems.

9. Virtual Tape Library

Virtual tape Libraries (VTL) are actually disk-based systems that allow you to uninstall backups and eventually unwind back to physical tapes. Virtual tape libraries are fast and can reduce the likelihood of backup failures due to tape-related failures or bottlenecks. Virtual tape libraries are irrelevant to existing backup software and to your system because they "think" they are backed up to traditional tape-based storage.

10. Network Attached Storage

You need sans for high speed storage access, you need network attached storage (NAS) for workloads, and storage without excessive speed. NAS is a cost-effective storage for file services, ISO libraries and virtual machine template libraries, and access with limited workloads.
