Session Synopsis
Virtualisation technologies have matured to a point where organisations are now deploying them for mission critical applications.
This coincides with what Cisco terms the Data Centre 3.0. This next generation of data centre will see applications, network, compute and storage resources made available across the organisation as a truly virtualised service.
Learn how data centre virtualisation can deliver business agility and drive down costs and complexity, while also improving an organisation’s carbon footprint. This approach will cover not only the short-term horizon, but also the longer-term requirements for building the data centre for the future.
