Converged Infrastructure – Overcoming the Challenges of Traditional Data Center Architecture

Organizations all around the world are switching to converged infrastructure architecture in order to achieve business agility, improved performance and cost savings. A converged infrastructure (CI) provides a ready-made architecture and help businesses take virtualization to the next level that makes deploying an array of new technologies faster and easier. The idea is to create a cloud platform, which means having hardware components in place that can efficiently handle advanced resource controls, great levels of multi-tenancy and high user demand.

Data center technologies are developing at a fast pace. Virtualization, cloud computing, software-defined networking, automation and a number of sophisticated applications are some of the solutions that can help establishments achieve a competitive advantage. Traditional data centers, on the other hand, are afflicted by a host of inefficiencies that can obstruct the implementation of essential advanced technologies. A number of other concerns are also associated with traditional IT infrastructure, including high capital costs, increased IT expenses and long time needed to deploy devices. Converged infrastructure solutions can help organizations address all these issues.

To overcome the challenges posed by traditional data center architectures, a large number of businesses are turning to converged infrastructure that acts as a platform to build their data centers.
