The emergence of hybrid data centre environments poses new infrastructure management challenges
The data centre industry has changed dramatically in recent years with the growth of cloud computing and hybrid solutions . Whereas at one time , an organisation ’ s computing needs may have been accommodated by its own internal data centre assets , it ’ s now more usual for organisations of all sizes to avail services from a variety of physical locations such as large centralised facilities , cloud services provided by web giants , and not forgetting edge data centres .
