Pride and prejudice to the data center Server Rack

When it comes to Server Rack, the vast majority of people first, lenovo is definitely a huge building, there are many rooms, and then placed the rows of racks, on the frame is filled with all sorts of equipment, occasionally also can hear the rumble of equipment operation noise.

Yes, go back to before the data center said is the computer room, since the computer and network, computer room, for after decades of development and popularization, its image has long been deeply rooted in people's heart.
As early in the nineties of the last century, the computer room design and construction standards, in order to reference room, and later the data center construction data, even if in the data center over the past few years constantly emerge some new stuff, what cloud computing, virtualization, software definition, big data and so on, changing people's knowledge on the traditional data center, but the image of thorough popular feeling, at that time also there is no fundamental change.
Cloud computing, software definition, virtualization, these new technologies bring the biggest thing is the software to the data center, actually think about also is very normal, formal Google the concept of cloud computing, put forward the VMware virtualization, is a software, software of enterprise, has a strong software development capabilities, its own development, cannot leave the data center, so through their own software advantage to change data center, thus the data center in the huge market pie, is a cadbury's all thing.
So, these software companies are working hard to promote their software strategy, using software to capture data center market.
In recent years, about the role of software in the data center, has been continuously enlarge, software enterprises launched a savvy to data center attack, even some traditional data center hardware giant enterprises also have to let go of posture, launched a lot of data center software solutions, to the data center more choice.
But again, the data center market does not seem to be very welcome, over the years in a data center on the purchase order, all kinds of hardware, such as servers, network, storage, cables, is still a big head, the software cost is still very small, although the data center will often "cloud" and data center to the pride and prejudice and inherent to the software without fundamental changes, or will have many servers, such as much computing power can provide visible things out.
The software is not quantified in many times. It's not like a hardware device, it's a pile of things in the machine room, which makes people look at it and it's shocking, it's very good to quantify, and the bias hasn't changed in a moment.
Software is indeed a good thing, can be implemented unlimited play many hardware could not function, is also much more flexible than hardware, server and network equipment, also have their own internal software program to work.
Data center will introduce software, fundamental purpose is to hope that through the software of the data center all hardware resources centralized management, change the present situation of the previous data center management inefficiency, and the actual?
Often data center for software implementation is often unrealistic expectations, actual situation of the different data center has its own complex, involving many aspects, and software in combination with well, software often cannot effectively play advantage, which makes data center spend money on software can't see the results, it is better to buy the server, improve computing performance, it is easy to see results.
There are also many data centers that think that simply introducing software can significantly reduce the cost of doing business, which is also a misconception.
Software can indeed replace artificial automatically do some monitoring and management work, but I still want someone to enter some necessary learning software parameters, some of the data center infrastructure construction is not very good, also affects the effect of the software that makes a lot of data center operations still keep two sets of human do the work, a set of human to do maintenance, hardware equipment and prepare a set of human management software, invest more.
If the software and data center infrastructure are not integrated well, it is easier to misoperate.
The use of software requires more technical expertise, and many of the early data centers that dared to take crabs to software have been left out.
Original data center has been in the hardware of the world, is the function of the software, in a lot of new software technology take turns induced the after introducing the software, many not to eat the sweet data center quickly and abandoned, make the data center of software of pride and prejudice has not been fundamentally improved.
Even now, not only is the data center software company, but also the importance of hardware and software companies, the software still has a small share of the data center.
In many data center solutions, software is included in the solution, software is packaged as part of the solution and the hardware device is packaged and sold, and there are not many data centers used to sell the software alone.
The software part of the solution often makes the solution more flexible and controllable, increasing the data center's infinite imagination of future business.
The data center is still not willing to pay a high fee for software alone. Software as an accessory can only exist as part of the solution, commonly known as binding sales.
The data center is born with the arrogance and bias of software, as well as the immaturity of the software itself.
When cloud appeared, about cloud computing companies have mushroomed miraculously appeared, the good and bad are intermingled, about the quality of the data center to provide software services not related implementation standards, different depth of understanding of the data center, the data center has brought a lot of confusion.
However, every new technology has to be constantly improved and technological, and software technologies that bring change to the data center should give more opportunity to the data center.
Hardware technology has been in constant development for decades, and it's time to change.
Software can bring data center role natural need not say more, according to the changing needs of the application of dynamic configuration and reconfiguration of the programming infrastructure, which can realize large cost savings for a less manual work, for the whole unification in optimizing the structure of the data center platform, flexible support any and all of the workload, etc., no one can deny that the software can brings to the data center of these changes.
The data center should step out of the arrogance of software, give more software opportunities, and actively use software to transform data centers.
It's also true that the new technology of software innovation, can bring a lot of hardware equipment to realize the function of the traditional, make good use of can greatly release the productive forces, to eliminate the prejudice against software data center, to the software more trial and error.
