Targeting ERP workloads for optimization helps gain business benefits while adoption cloud technology.
With increased automation of business processes, enterprises are integrating closely with their customers and partners to transform into connected businesses. At the same time, social and mobile interactions are growing at an unprecedented rate, resulting in data storage growth and accompanying demands for analytics. In this new environment, businesses are faced with a significant growth in compute, storage and network infrastructure. Rather than just add more resources to their existing data centers, organizations are either optimizing their in-house resources or looking for external IT resources to fulfill their needs.
While optimizing IT resources, finding common workloads can provide a lot of benefits as standardization allows large gains due to better IT management. In a typical large organization, supporting Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software constitutes a sizable portion of IT infrastructure. This makes ERP workloads an ideal target candidate to apply cloud techniques for optimization.
