Web-scale IT is a better approach to designing, building and managing datacenter infrastructure pioneered by web companies such as Google, Amazon, and Facebook - and it's becoming rapidly relevant for the enterprise. What's your web-scale IQ? Take the short quiz to find out!
Network performance bottlenecks as server resources are scaled and more applications come online
Storage managed with different granularity than VMs (e.g., LUNs, files)
Creates separately-managed resource silos because solutions are not versatile for a wide range of use cases
So simple to manage and troubleshoot that admins have free time to fill
