Tackling IT Complexity with Simplified Enterprise Storage
IT organizations are chartered with advancing digital transformation efforts, but those efforts are often thwarted by the complexity of underlying IT infrastructure. This often requires taking a different approach. It requires modernizing an enterprise’s data infrastructure.
Enterprise IT is complex. There are endless options for deploying new infrastructure, spanning traditional on-prem, cloud, and consumption-based services. Workloads such as generative AI and advanced analytics are rapidly changing how we think about performance for compute and storage. Managing the vast amounts of data flooding into the enterprise taxes how we utilize storage–especially how we manage for growth while not falling behind the performance curve. Additionally, sustainability has become a top-level concern for CIOs across nearly every industry.

Choosing the right infrastructure solutions can take time and effort. Living with those choices can be just as challenging. A recently published survey1quantifies this challenge, showing that 90% of respondents feel pressured to buy technology their infrastructure can’t support.
A further 74% of those IT practitioners say that their organizations cannot deploy new technology to leadership’s full expectations. The causes of this vary, but it is often the result of technical debt that results in an infrastructure that’s unable to support the required technology. It’s nearly impossible to modernize enterprise data without overcoming this technical debt and reducing the complexity of managing the infrastructure.
