The convergence of IT infrastructure: a set of realities, stakes and recommendations.
Our ever-changing digital world requires and provides performance,
productivity and the end-to-end competitiveness, businesses need to reach in
real-time their goals in terms of profitability, security, communication,
collaboration and intelligence.
This means the holistic convergence
of IT infrastructure that deeply considers the new IT Convergence should
be open and consist of the software-defined storage (SDS), software-defined
networking (SDN), software modules, and hardware modules.
In this approach, storage and network resources can be controlled by the
SDI hardware in a scalable, flexible and unified manner, and the servers that
provide user-oriented computing services can be added to a unified resource
pool.
When it comes to server solution, it should be a broad portfolio for Big
Data, cloud computing, virtualization, and mission-critical enterprise
applications.
