This four-part weekly series explores how virtualisation is shaking up the data centre by challenging traditional approaches to IT management, and how you can meet the growing demand for virtual services – and still maintain control and compliance - with policy-based IT process automation. In Part 1, I will review the pressures on the data centre and the industry initiatives emerging to help meet them.
