The industry is a buzz with material on datacentres and the technology therein. I’ve found many good articles on large scale, net new, next generation stuff. As a for instance, check out this video of Google’s container datacentre. Cool stuff. However it doesn’t look like a traditional datacentre at all.
In the case of net new I can see this happening. My question is, going forward as a mid range organization what do you do if you need a second datacentre? I’m really liking the concepts that Cisco, VMware are putting forward with their Network Virtualization strategies. Of course my paranoid security mind agrees with The Hoff.
