Atos first to launch Digital Data Center - Seite 2

 

In addition to speed, the Digital Data Center provides increased security and significant lower running costs. Unlike in existing data centers, in the new digital data center the "intelligence" moves out of the hardware devices towards a new over-arching software layer. The software-defined based Managed Data Center Services are therefore abstracted from the underlying physical infrastructure, enabling programmatic and automated provisioning and management across the entire infrastructure including networks and storage as well as compute.

 

The Atos Digital Data Center is going to deliver a seamless service and all the benefits of the agile platform for clients that want to retain direct control of security and data.

 

The first Digital Data Center pilots are beginning in Q1 2015 with further functionality from a pre-defined roadmap to be added throughout 2015 and beyond.

 

According to Gartner: "SDDC's (Software Defined Data Center's) key value is enabling agility through policy-based automation of the data center and facilities infrastructure."^[1] "Software-defined infrastructures are a new way to operate, orchestrate and automate what used to be a manual task, resulting in enhanced

 

 

 

processing, mobility and workflow, both internally and externally. It allows for configuration from one place, and will eventually encompass networks, storage, data centers and more."^[2]

 

Atos is the European leader in Managed services and has been positioned as a leader, for the last three years, in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Center Outsourcing and Infrastructure Utility Services 2014, Europe.
