Advanced Technologies: Driving today’s
data center

Issue SJ106 Winter 2015


We are seeing entirely new categories of information technology emerge, gain acceptance, and undergo widespread implementation. Internet of Things (IoT) – barely a blip on the radar two years ago – is practically a full-fledged industry itself. Explore business events that should trigger IoT implementation. And read about how Zones is helping a customer use IoT technologies to improve productivity, communications, and security. Converged infrastructure (CI) is the topic as Zones experts tell us when less truly is more. And as software-defined storage (SDS) is making tremendous inroads, we’re uncovering the motivations, technologies, and advantages.
