Prevalent Data Centre Applications Clause Samples

Prevalent Data Centre Applications. Since computers were first invented, their use has been expanding and now reaches into more and more areas. Moreover, as the technology develops, new application types are enabled, giving in turn a new boost to the technological development through more demanding requirements and use cases. Back in 1940ies, when the computers were very expensive, rare, and isolated from each other, applications were monolithic and dedicated to the specific organization’s needs. When first computer networks appeared in 1970ies, simple peer to peer and client server architectures have been conceived and implemented. Over time, application architectures become more and more distributed and dynamic, following the ICT trends on the one side and the use cases evolution on the other. In Section 2.3.1 we cover the ICT applications running in today’s established and emerging Data Centres, in Section 2.3.2 we briefly explain how traditional applications are adopted and migrated to the novel consolidated ICT platforms, while in Section 2.3.3 we discuss the novel applications that became possible due to the recent ICT shift towards cloud Data Centres and utility computing.
