How to better the odds by a sustainable modern IT-infrastructure

Join industry experts from Cyxtera and Nutanix as they discuss how the Cyxtera Extensible Data Center (CXD) platform and CXD Compute Nodes bring the power and scalability of Nutanix’s hyperconverged infrastructure to enterprises in an on-demand consumption model. Ideal for IT Infrastructure Managers, IT Solution Architects, Network Architects, and IT Operations, this webinar will address how this new approach to data center colocation enables you to.

During this session, ACG Research’s Chris Nicoll will share some key insights from the 5G, Edge and IoT infrastructure survey that was conducted with the leading mobile network operators. Key insights from the findings will be discussed and analyzed, including on evolving infrastructure purchasing behavior, the move to cloud-like infrastructures spanning edge-core-cloud as well as workload acceleration, management, orchestration and automation.

Hyperconvergence is now adopted by an ever-growing number of enterprises because of its simplicity, but others don’t like it because of its lack of efficiency, or because they do not find it flexible enough to answer to all of their workload needs.

In spite of the clear success of the hyperscale public cloud providers, many organizations – due to cost, control, refactoring complexity and data sovereignty issues – are choosing to host many workloads with regional cloud service providers (CSP), in colocation/interconnection facilities or to simply keep workloads on-premise. These data center operators, whether xSP or enterprise, typically already manage multiple data centers today. With the growth of IoT and edge compute on the horizon, they need to prepare to deploy and manage 10’s if not 100’s of mini- and micro-data centers in the future. It is critical that data center operators review and analyze their networking approach to multi-site data center architecture now in order to streamline operations and costs today and to prepare for the IoT and edge compute tsunami of tomorrow.
