The ideal path to modernization combines compute, storage, and networking into a single, cohesive system that's easy to deploy. It uses enterprise-grade storage for intelligent data management, and runs on an enterprise-tested application platform that handles containers and virtual machines (VM) in a unified environment. It allows you to develop and deploy applications in your data center, and then move them to the cloud as needed, without retooling. Ultimately, modernization done well helps your developers deploy applications faster, lets your IT teams (from network to storage to sysadmins) coordinate, and saves you time and money. Enterprise IT cannot rely on trial and error. Consider hardware, for instance. It would take weeks (if not months) to piece together compute, storage, and networking from multiple vendors. Then there's integration testing, stress and load testing. Then there's the constant worry about whether you deployed the most efficient and cost effective solution. And that's before you even get to the application stack. Are you trying to modernize from a legacy monolithic architecture to a more modern, cloud-native approach? Do you need a hypervisor for virtual machines? Can you scale and migrate applications from on-premises to a cloud hyperscaler without refactoring? A solution to this problem is needed now, more than ever.
