Data Center Survival Guide
Today's data center has become very complex and hard to manage. This drives up
costs, power and cooling requirements and provisioning time. It also makes the
entire network inefficient, difficult to scale and vulnerable to security
breaches. New technologies and services, such as Service Oriented Architecture
(SOA), Web Oriented Architecture (WOA), Cloud Computing and Software as a
Service (SaaS) will make the situation worse, taking an even bigger bite out of
data center performance and bandwidth—and presenting new security challenges.
The Juniper Data Center Survival Guide shows IT professionals how to survive in
this increasingly complicated environment. It explains how to simplify your
infrastructure and network management now with Juniper Networks®. It identifies
four of the most difficult challenges you face today in your data center—and the
simple steps you can take with Juniper Networks to not only survive the
onslaught of new applications and services, but enable your data center to
thrive.
