4 Things those with Digital Integration Hubs (DIH) do that others can’t – and how they fuel innovation

Broadcom is acquiring VMware. Now what? If your infrastructure runs on VMware, you need to answer that question. And for many, or even most companies, the answer is to find a “Plan B” for their virtualized workloads and private-cloud infrastructure. Maybe you plan to eventually migrate to a fully cloud native architecture on a public or hybrid cloud, but right now you have lots of traditional workloads you're not sure you can refactor as cloud-native applications -- at least right away.

As networks get smarter, network infrastructure needs to get simpler. Once IoT applications scale up, the number of connected devices will increase exponentially, making infrastructure provisioning increasingly complex.The connected world needs a solution that converges power and data infrastructure to cater to triple-play services and power consumption demands of edge network assets. A smart way to do this is to re-engineer category cable design and technical standards for enhanced business and operational performance.

As organizations shift toward a container-based delivery system for their applications, understanding how to make these containers and the underlying infrastructure more secure is a key priority. Companies are increasingly turning to Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform to deploy and manage their containers, and infrastructure administrators and security professionals must adapt to identify and mitigate threats to this platform and their applications. Red Hat Training has developed a new course, Red Hat Security: Securing containers and OpenShift, to explore implementing and managing security-focused architecture, policies, and procedures for modern containerized applications.

Data centers are subject to an expanding set of largely voluntary sustainability standards and requirements covering measurement and reporting, water and energy use, renewable energy procurement, equipment and system efficiency, greenhouse gas emissions management, adherence to a circular economy approach, and siting and design requirements.
