Michael Platt recently posted an interesting (possible future) scenario of DSI/SDM. It's uncertain if application developers will really require power specifications, but you'll never know. I’m absolutely convinced that Dynamic Systems Initiative is and will be the next prodigy. However, I haven’t seen very concrete scenarios lately, but the picture Michael Platt is illustrating at least gives more clarity.  On top of this solution to bridge the classic gap between Development and Operations, automated deployments can and will also be leveraged by DSI. The Automated Deployment Services (ADS) is probably one of the most substantial technologies currently available today within this initiative.

 

DSI and the future of Dynamic Data Center (DDC) will definitely result in a big smile for all those infrastructure architects living on this planet today, so keep on watching for more posting and articles on DSI, SDM, DDC and architecture.

 

Probably also a great momentum to elaborate on all the TLA’s –ahum- Three Letter Acronyms we use at Microsoft. CLM is most likely the only TLA missing in this index *wink*
