Converged Infrastructure
Converged Infrastructure:
A converged infrastructure enables an organisation to do more with fewer resources. Converged Infrastructure solutions drive business agility, innovation and performance improvements, while reducing risk, complexity and cost.
IT proliferation has stretched many businesses to breaking point, and business agility is severely constrained. Converged infrastructure, a holistic solution that enables all end user sub systems to work in tandem on a single IP network, offers new and more effective ways of working which address the following typical challenges:
- Escalating IT management and administration costs
- A desire to move mission-critical environments to standards-based infrastructure
- Limited datacenter space; need to improve server consolidation, virtualisation, and utilisation
- Risk associated with older legacy systems
- A need to grow and scale capacity in line with shrinking IT budgets
- Break free of proprietary solutions to achieve true inter-operability through the adoption of open industry standards
- An approach to unifying multiple communications methods: voice, e-mail, messaging, video etc
- Security threats
