VMWare plans to announce today more automation for the DC.
The dull roar in the background of course, keeps asking - is the proprietary (even if managed by an outsourcer) DC approaching its twilight as SaaS and cloud infrastructure continue to grow at phenomenonal rates?
If it is, it sure is a glorious twilight as I wrote earlier when Cisco announced its entry with Unified Computing
"From new space design to green computing to virtualization to remote management to consolidations to clouds, the DC has been a hotbed of activity."
