VFrame Data Center (VFrame DC) - introduced by Cisco - aims to leverage network intelligence to provision resources as virtualized services. It includes an open Application Programming Interface (API) and integrates with third party management applications, best quality server, and storage virtualization offerings.
The data center promises to enable customers to link their compute, networking, and storage infrastructures as a set of virtualized services. Besides, it claims to offer a policy engine to automate resource changes in response to infrastructure outages and performance changes. The center requires only a single controller and one back-up controller, which enable provision of resources as virtualized services using graphical design templates. The template comprises components such as design, discovery, deploy, and operations.
The center is tested with server platforms from Dell, HP, and IBM; storage platforms from EMC, HDS, HP, IBM, and NetApp; the 2 top data center operating systems - Linux and Microsoft Windows Server; and several business-level monitoring and middleware platforms from TIBCO and Cisco Application Networking Services (ANS).
In another press conference - 'Networkers at Cisco Live 2007' - Cisco announced the Data Center 3.0. The latter entails the real-time, dynamic orchestration of infrastructure services from a virtualized server, storage, and network resources - while optimizing application service-levels, efficiency, and collaboration.
