HYPER CONVERGED

Hyper Converged Infrastructure is critical in providing the fastest path to cloudoptimization by enabling the fastest deployment of infrastructure and applications, the highest application performance, and the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO).

TOP 3 CHALLENGES – Why Converged Infrastructure Becomes Required:

IT SPENDS 70% OF RESOURCES ON MAINTAINING OPERATIONSAs IT demands are increasing, traditional IT organizations perpetuate silos that create complex and error-prone manual processes to deploy new infrastructure/apps, and to sustain infrastructure around product lifecycles. A complex environment also leads to complex IT support issues.CDI’s engineered and fully productized solutions eliminate many of the routine, labor intensive, expensive and error-prone tasks that bog down IT.

IT CANNOT RESPOND QUICKLY ENOUGH TO BUSINESS REQUIREMENTSEnd users and LOBs are circumventing corporate IT in favor of public cloud offerings that are not available internally. This approach adds risk, cost, and complexity to the management of each application. Adherence to corporate standards for protection, security, and availability are compromised. CDI’s hyper converged infrastructure practice and ever-increasing solution sets enable customers to speed deployments and dramatically simplify ongoing operations while improving application performance and availability.

IT NEEDS TO RUN MORE EFFICIENTLYIT is often seen as a cost-center by the business; they need to transform to better show ROI. Customers want to create dynamic pools of shared resources vs. dedicating HW to individual apps. They

are also looking for ways to measure utilization and trending to better plan and manage resources.

CDI works exclusively with top partners VCE, Cisco and EMC to deploy solution sets with industry leading products that support mixed workloads with flexible, scalable compute, network & storage. VCE Vision Intelligent Operations SW offers a system-level view of all resources.

KEY BENEFITS: Superior Flexibility—Enables customers to choose the right

configuration and expand both server and storage performance and capacity to meet growing workloads with no single point of failure.

Greater Application and Business Agility—Breakthrough application and copy services enable transformational benefits for applications, including business intelligence agility through real-time analytics and business innovation agility through accelerated dev/test and software development.

Automation—With Cisco Nexus 9396PX switches customers can choose to enable Cisco ACI-Ready network to take full advantage of application policy-based templates automating the provisioning of network resources, application services, security, segmentation, and workload placement.

Lower TCO—Enable better insights into data center power, overall environmental monitoring, and improved compliance. Provides faster processing cores, space efficient all flash array (1/2 a rack) combined with rich data services results in 6-20x more effective capacity, data reduction and space efficient copies. The net result is a smaller datacenter footprint, achieving the lowest TCO than traditional storage arrays.
