Converging Branch Infrastructure for Simplicity, Efficiency, and Lower Costs

Many organizations have invested in server consolidation, particularly in their data centers. In remote offices, though, servers and storage exist as isolated islands of infrastructure that require management through separate operational processes and procedures. This approach is costly and places data at risk. However, a new branch converged infrastructure architecture allows IT to consolidate in the branch office to minimize the IT footprint needed to run branch applications – all the while centralizing remote servers and data in the data center. 

Branch converged infrastructure achieves this by utilizing a storage delivery architecture that decouples compute from underlying storage to enable “stateless” branch services. Users access applications running locally in the branch while primary data is stored in the data center. That means organizations can now consolidate and centralize remote IT to increase security and efficiency without adversely impacting end-user performance in branch offices.
