These fundamental design choices are often problematic when populating a data centre or during migration. I have previous written about "5 practices that need to be taken into account when migrating to a more modern data centre" but this article will expand on provisioning and managing white space within a data centre. The white space is afterall the primary place where the rubber meets the Internet highway.
