Data Center Consolidation
By mitigating the impact of constrained WAN resources, Ipanema’s Autonomic Networking System™ (ANS™) makes IT consolidation easier and possible for more enterprises.
ANS turns the WAN into an IT consolidation enabler for enterprises to:
- Maximize costs savings through reduced IT infrastructure and simplified software maintenance;
- Improve data security and integrity through simplified backup and administration processes;
- Optimize protocols and eliminate redundancies to mitigate the impact of constrained WAN resources and higher latency;
- Align the network with the enterprise’s business goals whatever the complexity of applications and traffic matrix;
- Minimize and control the telecommunications costs associated with IT consolidation;
- Measure, report and preserve end-users’ ongoing QoE during and after IT consolidation;
- Deliver accurate information about present and future bandwidth requirements associated with business-critical applications, including those freshly consolidated.
When consolidating their IT infrastructure, enterprises typically select a few data centers and progressively move their applications to these central locations. Employees continue to use these applications in the same manner as when they had local servers. The consequence is that the same application flows that used to be on the LAN now traverse the WAN, leading to response times that are so degraded that the applications can become unusable. Ipanema’s ANS eliminates redundancies and optimizes protocols to restore applications responses times to the same usability as before consolidation.
