Companies of every size and kind are making the transition to an integrated infrastructure as a way to implement cloud computing, streamline their business and keep costs down. It’s also a way to increase the performance of important applications and keep the IT service efficient. Integrated infrastructures also help with stability as many companies simply don’t have the capacity to power such applications.
Although many of my fellow business owners and leaders understand the importance of resource consolidation, virtulaization and simplification of their infrastructure management, we’re not all adopting them at the same rate or for the same uses. Some are just starting out on the path towards virtualization and some are using them for the vast majority of their operational applications. For those just delving into the world of virtualization, time, available manpower and budgetary concerns may be what’s holding them back. One way in which they can get past this hurdle is to use a ready-to-deploy, pre-wired, and pre-integrated virtualized infrastructure.
