Dynamic infrastructure

Dynamic Infrastructure also known as Infrastructure 2.0 and Next Generation Data Center is an information technology model which provides the ability to intelligently, automatically and securely move workloads in a data center anytime, anywhere. Whether the purpose is for migrations, provisioning, enhancing performance or building co-location facilities, workloads are moved with inherent security and data protection The feature benefits include enhancing performance, scalability , ability to perform routine maintenance on either physical or virtual systems all while minimizing interruption to business operations and reducing cost for IT. Dynamic Infrastructure will help provide needed business continuity and high availability requirements to facilitate cloud or grid computing.

For networking companies, Infrastructure 2.0 refers to the ability of networks to keep up with the movement and scale requirements of new enterprise IT initiatives, especially virtualization and cloud computing. According to companies like Cisco, F5 Networks and Infoblox, network automation and connectivity intelligence between networks, applications and endpoints will be required to reap the full benefits of virtualization and many types of cloud computing. This will require network management and infrastructure to be consolidated, enabling higher levels of dynamic control and connectivity between networks, systems and endpoints.
