Top four economic drivers of converged IT
Analyst firm IDC reports that organizations achieve economic gains by simplifying IT with converged infrastructure. These four key drivers explain why more enterprise leaders are moving to converged infrastructure solutions.
1. Higher performance
Customer satisfaction in today’s always-on, data-driven world means delivering more IT services in less time. Converged IT simplifies operations and streamlines workflow, leading to increased flexibility, faster outcomes and greater ability to adapt to customer demands. IDC found that organizations using converged solutions reported they can develop 4.6x more applications per year.
2. More innovation
Converged infrastructure allows your staff to spend less time on IT integration. Instead, they can focus on developing new applications, services and other innovative projects such as mobile, analytics and self-service options. IDC found that companies using converged IT spend 41 percent less time simply keeping the lights on.
3. Improved agility
Converged solutions support business agility by reducing the time and effort to provision datacenter resources and deliver applications. IDC found that converged infrastructure allowed businesses to get new products and services to market 4.4x faster than traditional IT.
4. Greater cost-effectiveness
Designed for scalability and efficiency, converged infrastructure removes roadblocks and silos in the data center. Firms using converged IT tallied 96 percent less downtime, according to the IDC study. System uptime contributes to cost-effective operations across the entire enterprise.
