Enabling Next-Generation Virtual delivery infrastructures for modern Data Center - Part two
Welcome back
The first Part. this group were platform and its unique capabilities introduced on the Sanbolic SDx that make it to another software-defined storage (SDS) solution on the market today unmatched.
in the second part of this series, we will discuss how the Sanbolic SDx Platform Company improved economy, while much make it easier for IT administrators to life in the office.
In addition to the many jobs is on a daily basis one, if not , the primary goal of IT administrators - the greatest value of IT resources to extracting productivity at the lowest possible cost to maximize. While this goal to achieve and can be difficult for themselves, some will argue, it would be more difficult if CAPEX and OPEX are reached cost of one much higher than they need to be in the first place.
By Sanbolic SDx platform customers use the power of SDS and the cost-benefit of commoditization economies similar to those in the data centers of today's largest cloud providers to realize found. For IT administrators, this means significant reduction in both the time and effort for the infrastructure, workloads and data, as well as improved availability and scalability of critical resources and improve operational efficiency ... manage all lead to considerably lower administrative and operational costs ,
users of SDx platform reaching up through a combination of the following:

While conventional storage systems (with their antiquated architectures) introduce additional components and levels in the infrastructure so that storage and data 
administrative cumbersome and complex that Sanbolic SDx Platform optimizes these tasks to make office life much easier for administrators.
, for example, "housed Silos" most proprietary hardware based storage arrays introduce management, IT administrators need to deploy, manage, and storage volume (and to protect the data that resides on the volumes) as individual "islands", which can be managed only the manufacturer-specific management interface. In environments of various storage arrays (different brands and models) contain devices (Flash, SSD, HDD) and protocols (iSCSI, Fibre Channel, FCoE, InfiniBand, SAS, etc.), something that is today the company always frequent data centers, it provides administrators with even more challenges. And then there is the added complexity of geo-distribution connected. How does one go about all of these resources in the management of environments that span multiple data centers? Just thinking about it, it must be sent to the back of most IT administrators enough rain.
Let us not with data Forget an organization to have disaster recovery (DR)
most critical resource, IT enterprise administrators of all sizes are often too with the perceivably overwhelming task, a DR solution implement, the data is guaranteed not only possible but accessible while site-wide failures. Unfortunately, most storage vendors leave to go to the replication this performance, the customer requires use of the manufacturer's hardware in multiple locations more. More hardware means more administrative time and effort, and even higher CAPEX and OPEX. Nice for the seller, not so nice for administrators.
Finally, many storage arrays lacks the ability to integrate different types of storage devices (ie, Flash, SSD, HDD) to improve application performance and / or expand the capacity without further efforts storage and data management to increase
If we look at the Sanbolic SDx platform on the other side
we see a very different picture. one, the fulfillment of all of the above tasks makes a hell of a lot easier for IT administrators.
for the beginning to protect the SDx platform administrators quick and easy deployment, management and storage volume (and the data on those volumes) from a single management interface, regardless of when the underlying disks are housed (ie in different storage arrays, JBODs, JBOFs, server-side) or which storage protocols are used to present them to application servers.
Note that (is computing and storage components within the same physical housing) in hyper-converged solutions to use Sanbolic SDx Platform, can use server host and share reduce access to volumes, thereby eliminating the additional components (storage arrays, switch fabrics, HBAs / CNAs, cabling, etc.) and levels with traditional SANs connected further administrative cost and complexity.
with the inherent RAID capabilities SDx platform administrators can also shared volumes with drives create in different data centers whose data synchronously mirrored, so that the data availability to ensure and accessibility for site-wide failures. Unlike the DR solutions from traditional storage vendors offered, this approach reduces the administrative burden and the effort to keep down customers a really easy and cost-effective DR solution.
Harnessing exceptional scale-out capabilities provides (up to 2,048 nodes per cluster and volume capacities of up to 18 exabytes), both (compute and storage) dynamically (and can be scaled independently), provides the Sanbolic SDx platform unified scale-out infrastructures and workloads in heterogeneous storage environments. The platform also improves IT agility by enabling storage devices of different types (Flash, SSD, HDD) are seamlessly integrated (and used intelligently) for the purpose of improving application performance and capacity expansion without increasing storage and data management efforts.
important is the unprecedented flexibility of Sanbolic SDx Platform
As an infrastructure-agnostic means that customers can use any industry standard hardware computing and storage they choose if they already have the equipment or planning new hardware to buy. In the former case the SDx platform may storage backend and allows unified management and scale-out infrastructure and workloads to expand an existing infrastructure through consolidation (converging). In the latter case, the customer can choose and buy storage devices based on their needs and integrated into existing infrastructures to improve the performance and expand the capacity and / or install the device inside their application server and use you create the SDx Platform hyper-convergent solutions. at a fraction of the cost of proprietary hardware-based storage systems
It is important to note that to offer, regardless of the approach, enterprise-class storage management capabilities, and advanced data services (converged or Hyper converged) that chooses to implement Sanbolic SDx platform greatly improved IT agility , flexibility and operational efficiency without require customers "rip and replace" their existing storage devices - a feature that can only offer a software -based SDS solution and one that the unique capabilities of SDx Platform an example.
Now that we. A better understanding of what the Sanbolic SDx platform is and how strong it really is, in part three of this series, we will discuss how the SDx platform fits into the Citrix product portfolio

When it comes to dealing with sensitive or confidential data reinforced the challenge. Although BYOD is widespread, security remains one of the biggest concerns for IT in the business administrators. Therefore, IT administrators struggle to control the sheer number of operating systems and devices, let alone think of integrating them into the office infrastructure.
