The Converged Infrastructure Payoff for IT

As IT organizations continue to optimize infrastructure management and strive for new ways to support the business, many are finding that converged infrastructure solutions advance those goals by simplifying data center management and freeing up IT resources for innovation efforts. In a recent IDG survey, almost one-third of respondents indicate they have already implemented such solutions, while another third plan to do so within the next two years.

Converged infrastructure solutions aggregate commonly deployed IT infrastructure components – servers, storage, networking, virtualization and software – into pre-packaged or pre-validated systems that are delivered directly from the vendor or reseller channel for streamlined consumption.
