Wee Wah: In 2011, we see that many organizations are no longer just
talking about virtualization; they are actually implementing it with greater
confidence as the adoption rate on virtualization picks up. In fact, the June 2011 market research report from Forrester Research, Inc. entitled “Data
Virtualization Reaches Critical Mass”
reported that technology advancements, new patterns and customer
successes are making data virtualization both a short and long term solution to
today's data integration challenges.
I think another trend that is quickly evolving are the
roll-outs of new best practices and standards for green data centres. Spring
Singapore, for example, has recently published the SS 564: 2010 – Singapore
standard for Green Data Centres – Energy and environmental management systems. The
emergence of new approaches and management tools that integrates data centre,
cloud computing, virtualization, power, cooling, security, efficient hardware
& software administration and service processes are also exciting areas to
keep an eye on.
