Different Faces of the Next Generation DataCenter
Next Generation Data Center
Agile Scalable Automated Predictable
“The demands of this
NGDC-approach are now
being felt strongly by IT
organizations of all types; so
much so that one can see
data centers in the next few
years either embracing such
a move themselves, or
buying their IT services from
someone that does.”
