Microsoft will soon begin delivering software components for a new initiative aimed at reducing datacenter complexity, with the goal of making it easier for companies to deploy and manage applications across large groups of servers, the company said this week.
Dubbed the Dynamic Systems Initiative, the project aims to alleviate what Microsoft views as a "crisis in the datacenter," said Bob O'Brien, group product manager of Microsoft's Windows Server division. IT managers face a profusion of data, devices, applications and personnel, and need technology that will help them integrate and run their intricate environments, he said.
