Applications have seen explosive growth in the enterprise. Where just a few years ago there were three or four mission critical applications now there could be dozens. The organization is also more dependent on these applications than it has ever been. They can’t go down. IT also needs help orchestrating these applications as well as keeping up with application storage IO demands. The problem is that high availability solutions abound as do tools to help with orchestration and there are plenty of hardware solutions for meeting application demand. Consequently, IT is now buried in its own tools and for the most part chaos rules in the data center.
IT needs a universal infrastructure to help them provide consistent high availability and orchestration while meeting the I/O demands of the infrastructure. Join Storage Switzerland’s Lead Analyst, George Crump and Veritas’ Solutions Marketing Manager, Biswajit Mishra, in this Lightboard Video as they discuss the importance creating a universal infrastructure to support smart business infrastructure investments.
George Crump is the Chief Marketing Officer at VergeIO, the leader in Ultraconverged Infrastructure. Prior to VergeIO he was Chief Product Strategist at StorONE. Before assuming roles with innovative technology vendors, George spent almost 14 years as the founder and lead analyst at Storage Switzerland. In his spare time, he continues to write blogs on Storage Switzerland to educate IT professionals on all aspects of data center storage. He is the primary contributor to Storage Switzerland and is a heavily sought-after public speaker. With over 30 years of experience designing storage solutions for data centers across the US, he has seen the birth of such technologies as RAID, NAS, SAN, Virtualization, Cloud, and Enterprise Flash.
