Trends for the future of the data center

To achieve these objectives it is now more important than ever to make informed decisions when choosing the right architecture. A carefully designed IT landscape can help organizations realize significant savings in the operation and configuration of their infrastructures. Knowing this, REALTECH authored a study as early as 2009 that examined the development of SAP data centers taking into account the newly available CPU architectures

Among the most important findings was the fact that the outstanding performance of the x86 processors has taken the processing speed of this CPU architecture to never-seen-before levels. Customers have also begun to realize that the different parameters addressed by Gartner are crucial to their architecture decisions - namely compute density, low energy consumption and the ability to virtualize both in the front end and the back end.
