FlexPod for VMware



Todays Critical IT

Challenges

Consolidation is mandatory

Power and floor space are at a premium; sustainable data centerenergy ratings matter.

Consolidate and virtualize on shared infrastructure at every layer.

Seek technologies that integrate to multiply efficiency and operationalgains.

Join the journey to virtualization and the cloud

Organization and existing processes are barriers to change. Yet server and desktop virtualization is accelerating across allapplications.

Choose integrated and proven shared infrastructure for the future orrisk: Architecture redesign within 2 years

Application transition to exterior cloud offerings

Have agility to grow and change at the same time Virtualization is now becoming the next big challenge.

Scale up or scale out; scale to IT as a service (ITaaS).

Get the flexibility and scalability to respond to business needsimmediately.
