Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Juniper Networks has jumped into the data centre fray, partnering with IBM to launch a new offering for data centre consolidation, server virtualization and sustainable information technology. Juniper, like most of its rivals these days, is claiming significant green credentials for its new data centre solution.
According to Juniper, its Data Center
Infrastructure Solutions can significantly reduce network complexity
and total cost of ownership by up to 52% in capital expenditures, up to
44% in power, up to 44% in cooling and up to 55% in rack space in the
data centre.
Juniper’s data centre approach includes switching, routing and security
technologies, all running on its JUNOS network operating system,
together with IBM server and storage hardware.
“Current market challenges require businesses to add more agility to
the data centre and it is clear that the network must play a critical
role,” said Cindy Borovick, research vice president at IDC.
“Juniper’s approach provides a path for operational innovation,
allowing businesses to provision services quickly and cost-effectively
to meet the demands of the new data centre.”
“Juniper has a proven track record in enabling high-performance
businesses to scale their networks without compromise,” said Matt
Miller, Enterprise System Engineering Manager ANZ at Juniper Networks.
“We are now extending the expertise we have gained from mission-critical deployments worldwide into the data centre.”
IBM and Juniper say they are focused on delivering best-in-class solutions to their mutual customers.
“IBM’s New Enterprise Data Centre is an evolutionary new model for
efficient IT service delivery that guides customers through a
progression of simplified, shared and dynamic infrastructure, with
each stage delivering value that allows businesses to provision new
services quickly and cost effectively without added complexity and
risk,” said IBM’s Jim Comfort, vice president, Systems and Technology
Group.
“Juniper’s approach to simplifying data centre information
infrastructure tightly aligns with our New Enterprise model, and helps
customers progress to the shared and dynamic phases of the model.
Together, Juniper and IBM can help our customers transform their
mission-critical data centres to fuel operational innovation.”
