siliconindia | | May 20194Data centers are at the center of modern software technology, serving a critical role in the expanding capabilities for en-terprises. Whereas businesses just a few decades ago relied on error-prone paper-and-pencil documentation methods, data cent-ers have vastly improved the usability of data as a whole. They've enabled businesses to do much more with much less, both in terms of physical space and the time required to create and maintain data. But data centers are positioned to play an even more important role in the advancement of technology with new concepts entering the landscape that represent a dramatic shift in the way data centers are conceived, configured and utilized. The traditional data center, also known as a `siloed' data center, relies heavily on hardware and physical servers. It is defined by the physical infrastructure, which is dedicated to a singular purpose and determines the amount of data that can be stored and handled by the data center as a whole. The first computers were very similar to the traditional data center we know today. Siloed data centers, as they're used today, exploded during the dot-com era in the late 1990's and early 2000's. The rapid increase in the number of websites and applications required physi-cal storage somewhere to house the vast amounts of data required to make those programs run on-demand in the user's browser.Today, as we see it, the data center revolution is a change move-ment in process. Enterprises can collapse in a snap is the data cent-ers just come to a stop still or may be `vanish'. As safe measure, solution providers and innovators are bringing forth path breaking solutions to sustain the benefits of Data centers for as long as the technology era flourishes. Data centers are evolving from isolated resource `islands' to interconnected pools of virtualized resources shared between multiple data center locations -- effectively creat-ing "data centers without walls" that help businesses cut costs and maximize IT efficiency. In this edition we're bringing together some of the extraordinar-ily expert vendors who have gathered knowledge from across the globe to serve the cause for a data-powered business ecosystem. These vendors are taking the data center solutioning to next level.Chitra MishraSpecial Editoreditor@siliconindia.comEditorialData Centers Without Walls Vol 07 · Issue 10-9 · May 10, 2019 Publisher Alok Chaturvedi Managing Editor Anamika Sahu Special Editor Chitra Mishra Editorial Team Ananth.V Avinash Roy Archee Roy Imelda Tarzania John Roshan Anto Shefali Mathur Sophia Rohtagi Srrayvinya OLM Sujith Vasudevan Trisha Pragya Advertising Managers Editorial queries editor@siliconindia.com To subscribe Visit https://www.siliconindia.com/subscribe/ or send email to subscription@siliconindia.com Cover price is Rs.150 per issue.
