Converged Data Center

Combine computing, networking, storage, systems administration, and software into a preconfigured package that is easy to manage.

The Need for Converged Data Center

Converged Data Center is a hardware-defined solution that combines computing, networking, storage, systems administration, and software into a preconfigured package that operates as a singular system. Since it consolidates multiple functions, the converged architecture greatly reduces costs associated with power, cooling, and cabling in the data center. It is much easier to manage because everything is contained within a preconfigured, converged system, providing a single point of contact for maintenance and service.

This technology makes scaling easy due to its modular design. Increasing compute, memory, or storage is a simple matter of adding pre-configured modules that provide predictable capacity increases. Since converged infrastructure is centralized and easy to manage, it tends to be highly compatible with cloud computing architecture, especially when it comes to integrating with a private or hybrid deployment.

Benefits of Converged Data Center

Faster and easier deployment

By converging disparate components into a single, cohesive stack, the infrastructure becomes far easier to deploy. Convergence removes the complexity of deploying several different components and configuring them all to work together. Converged DC is faster to deploy, because it is preconfigured, pretested and ready to go, right out of the box.

Simplified management

Once deployed, Converged DC is easier to manage and maintain than traditional infrastructure. The appliances are preloaded with unified and intelligent software, and everything is accessible in one place. Ongoing monitoring, management and firmware updates are also unified together in a single converged system.

Saves time and boosts productivity

Faster deployment and simpler management translates into significant time saving for your IT team, who now have more time for other pressing tasks, thus maximizing their productivity.

Cost savings

Simplified management isn’t the only way your business saves money. By eliminating the need for disparate software solutions for a patchwork of IT components, you reduce your software licensing costs.

Energy reductions

Converged DC is also more energy-efficient. A unified stack requires less power than traditional systems, which can translate into significant cost savings for your organization. Cooling and overall power consumption are reduced by converging several components into a single appliance.

Boosts performance

Converged DC uses resources more efficiently than traditional systems which translates into a significant boost in performance for your business processes, this translates to supporting thousands of users across multiple applications, virtual environments and operating systems, all at the same time.

Reduced cost of ownership

The cost savings from faster deployments, easier management and reduced energy consumption result in a reduced total cost of ownership (TCO). The benefits of Converged DC also translate into faster time to value (TTV). The improvements in performance and efficiency help to achieve key business objectives faster, adding value beyond the financial return on investment.

Scalability

Business needs are constantly evolving and expanding. If your infrastructure can’t scale quickly enough, it holds back the business and makes growth much more challenging. Converged DC makes it easy to add capacity and scale resources, without compromising the simplicity and efficiency that converged architecture enables.
