ABSTRACT:
Data Centers have always been under pressure to keep up with growing business needs while keeping costs down. Today, however, there are new pressures bearing down on the data center which affect the basic requirements list when evaluating servers. Some of these pressures include environmental issues of power and cooling, lack of physical space and application needs such as scale-up or scale-out. Furthermore, emerging technologies such as I/O, server, desktop virtualization and application virtualization, add further requirements to the list of considerations.

This session examines the forces within the data center that are effecting changes in server requirements and how servers are evolving to address those requirements. It will also provide a list of considerations to aid in making the right server choices.
