8. Old school Data Centers were about warehousing, with
no awareness of who else was in that Data Center. The
Next Generation of Data Centers are trying to foster the
concept of Internalization. They are attempting to make
cross-connects and form a type of marketplace for
industry segments, thus evolving from simply an
infrastructure provider to a more business-to-business
environment. In this session our experts will discuss what
implications this trend holds in terms of accessibility &
privacy.
The Software Defined Network is one where all
infrastructures have been virtualized, and the
management of that infrastructure is completely
controlled by software that is driven by policies. In this
session, domain expert will discuss what this emerging
trend is essentially doing by taking what has happened
over the last 15 years with server virtualization &
bringing that to the network and storage levels. Once
these three levels of the infrastructure have been
virtualized, the data center becomes orders of magnitude
more agile than ever before.

Session 6: SDN & Vitalisation

9. The enterprise of the future will be very different from
the one we know. It will be complex, develop hitherto
unforeseen forms, and we will have to respond to
unforeseen challenges. All while the windows of
opportunity and response will continue to shrink. There
will not only be the need to be agile and adapt to
changes as they occur, but to be proactive in shaping the
next generation enterprise to be ready for the future. In
