Today launches the official start of AFCOMs Data Center
World sessions in Las Vegas, Nevada that will run until Wednesday
this week. In his keynote, Greg Papadopoulus, Chief Technology officer
and Executive Vice President of Research and Development at Sun
Microsystems, has provided the Data Center World audience a reminder
of the rapidly changing IT environment and reviewed solutions and
choices from hardware to software that are currently available.
However, the undertone is clearly the impact of the economy on IT
and data center spending.
In his message, Papadopoulus provides us with an image
of what can be confusing options. Today’s IT department struggles
to standardize as individual departments and client demands tug
in different directions.
According to Papadopoulus, the focus should be on
items that are easily implementable. In a difficult economy companies
are looking for a rapid return on investment and project such as
virtualization, open source software and now cloud computing are
being implemented or examined as solutions for today’s data center
environment.
