Making Space for Data Center

Many corporate on-premises data centers are running at near capacity limits. Co-Lo data centers space is at a premium, if it is even available at all. With technology-driven innovations a target for so many companies, where can this work happen? Ideally, this happens in the data center you already own—if you take action to make the best use of the footprint you have. Consolidating today’s workloads with no compromise to budgets, service levels or risk can allow you to be ready for the compute-intensive innovations driven by AI that are coming your way.

There's no question that innovation can be achieved via infrastructure modernization. To truly get a view on the value to enterprise, Lynn Comp is joined by CTO Advisor Keith Townsend to discuss what Keith is hearing from IT leaders regarding prioritization of innovation among IT imperatives. Lynn and Keith will discuss their collective experience with modernization and insights that can help shape organizational plans for infrastructure refresh.

In the final section of this series, the focus will be shifted to the practical aspects of data center innovation and consolidation. Jason Collier, PMTS Systems Design Eng. at AMD, will address key considerations as he explores the impact of increasing core counts on blast radius, present best practices for high core count deployments, and shed light on the efficiency of VM migration through VAMP. Additionally, Jason will unpack the advantages of 1P over 2P deployments, covering reliability, latency, cost, and power factors. Drawing from field experiences, this session offers valuable data center advancements and efficiencies.
