Virtualization Magazine on Ulitzer Data center virtualization is changing the way we think about today's networks. Stress fractures have begun to appear in the network triggered by the increasing adoption of virtualization around datacenter compute and storage platforms. The virtualization of datacenter resources, while good for the efficient utilization of costly physical resources, is placing enormous demands on the underlying network and operational support teams in terms of increasing support costs and time spent implementing changes to the infrastructure driven by the dynamic nature of virtual services. Traditional network designs and the tools that control and manage them cannot keep pace with the dynamic nature of virtual services. This sharp increase in cost and time is a direct result of the amount, and the complexity, of changes that are required across de... (more)
