How to Leverage the Cloud to Consolidate IT Infrastructure

The success of the early data center industry was largely built on economics. A customer could rent a portion of a large data center and get “more for less” through the economies of scale.

Market rivals and empowered customers are forcing enterprises to reconsider how they do business. ‘Digital transformation’ has emerged as a means to craft engaging customer experiences, automate business operations and fend off threats from rivals. It’s driving the need to rethink how enterprises engage and interact with custome

While many enterprises are moving their entire computing infrastructure to public cloud providers, many also find advantages for keeping certain workloads and data in-house, under their own control; thus, the need for a hybrid cloud architecture, which integrates “on-prem” infrastructure with public cloud services. Many of the enterprises who prefer to keep their infrastructure on-prem, in their own data centers, are doing so using network carriers and colocation service providers to interconnect with their preferred public cloud service provider(s).

The growing demands of enterprise applications and the fast pace of modern business threaten to put legacy IT design — with separate storage, storage networks and servers — at risk of failure. The silos created by traditional data centre infrastructure often present barriers to change and progress, adding complexity to every step from ordering to deployment to management. Together with Nutanix we deliver hyperconverged infrastructure that converges applications and workloads, storage and virtualisation into a resilient, easier to manage solution with strong machine intelligence. It reduces power usage and space, and dramatically eliminates storage complexity. The world’s most advanced enterprise data centres rely on Nutanix web-scale technology to power their mission-critical workloads at any scale.
