Can You Optimize Your Data Center Storage for Capacity AND Performance? With Adaptec by PMC Solutions, YES!

I would probably need a data center to help me keep track of how many data centers I’ve visited across the globe. But no matter where they’re located, or what market they serve, they all have a common mission: to do more with less at the highest performance.
Businesses and consumer demand for fast, reliable and secure access to data and content is skyrocketing, forcing data centers to add more and more storage capacity and maintain the high performance that their customers expect.
The OPEX and CAPEX benefits of Software-Defined Networks (SDNs) realized from facilitating the separation of the data, control and management planes (to allow for the orchestration and management of network resources from a central location) are widely accepted. All of us as subscribers stand to benefit from this transformation as this centralized view of network resources will create a manageable, easy-to-automate, flexible platform allowing Carriers to allocate on-demand resources and define services in real-time to keep up with our ever-changing approach of adding and using content from the Internet. One of the major hurdles to achieving these, however, is that current SDN standards, including the industry favored OpenFlow, have not yet been augmented to specify carrier-grade functionalities.
