Recent End-User Research Confirms That Solving Issues Of Scale And Complexity At The Network Level Is Required For Rapid Adoption Of Virtualization

Extreme Networks announced it is showcasing key architectures that enable efficient and scalable virtualized data centres, based on its Four Pillar data centre strategy at the VMworld 2010 conference held at the Bella Center, in Copenhagen.
A recent Enterprise Strategy Group Research Survey on server virtualization (August, 2010) indicates that many enterprise organizations are strongly aligned with the Extreme Networks’ Four Pillar data centre strategy. For example, the survey data identifies key challenges facing companies as they make the transition to a fully virtualized environment:
- IT organizations are looking for more extensive network-level integration to enable advanced, dynamic virtualization features.
- Performance and security are two of the top networking concerns for virtual server environments.
- Organizations with growing infrastructure requirements are most interested in 40 Gigabit Ethernet performances as servers and storage needs for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections increase.
"The feedback from server virtualization research clearly reflects the key trends and challenges happening today," says Jon Oltsik, Principal Analyst for the Enterprise Strategy Group. "In order for virtualization to reach the next level, incorporating dynamic features and tier-1 applications, IT organizations must begin to deal with scale and complexity challenges in a holistic manner. Extreme Networks, with its Four Pillar strategy, can help address these issues with real-world solutions that enable IT organizations to further take advantages and efficiencies that virtualization can deliver."
Extreme Networks’ Four Pillar data centre strategy, featuring its newly introduced "Direct Attach" virtualized data centre architecture that reduces tiers in the network and its XNV Virtual Machine Lifecycle Management solution, is at the heart of Extreme Networks’ data centre offering.
"Extreme Networks is at VMworld 2010 conference in Copenhagen, demonstrating real-world solutions to these challenges, specifically reducing infrastructure tiers and complexity, and integrating server virtualization with the network to enable full lifecycle management of virtual machines at the network level," says Aziz Ala’ali, Regional Director for Extreme Networks, Middle East & Africa.
