This transformation is leading to
complex data center priorities: maintaining traditional business applications
as efficiently and in a low-cost manner as possible without compromising
service integrity and using those savings to support next-gen application
development needs. Each requires different investments, which largely come from
the same (typically flat) IT budget. The first step toward balancing these
conflicted IT priorities is to modernize the infrastructure on which IT is
built.
"The IT industry is in a state of
massive transformation, resulting in both disruption and a great opportunity.
Every business leader, across every industry, is facing the dilemma of how to
support and grow traditional IT infrastructure while modernizing the data
center in order to support the development of new applications and advance
their digital agendas. Some are doing all of this simultaneously. The products
and services announced will help advance the customer's journey to build a
modern data center in order to thrive as a digital business" says David
Goulden, CEO, EMC Information Infrastructure.
