Are you discovering that your data center is having a hard time keeping up with the demand of the business? In today’s consumer-driven world, IT must work in alliance with your overall business strategy—enabling it, not hindering it. But you already knew that.

So what are your options? Start by considering your infrastructure.

Do you update on an “as-needed” basis, investing in technology that meets needs for the moment? Do you rely on physical servers that quickly become overloaded, maybe resulting in the inability to efficiently handle the influx of data coming from mobile devices and concurrent network connections? Traditional data centers weren’t built for the traffic we encounter today.

Your IT infrastructure is your conduit for business success. And, as is usually the case, a sturdy foundation is the first and foremost step in assuring structural support. With the groundwork laid, moving from a physical to a virtual environment is certainly a viable option. Private, public, or hybrid clouds may decrease your data center footprint and associated expenses, allowing you to scale rapidly and respond faster to the needs of the business. But is it secure?

Many questions hover around the cloud, to which there are many possible answers. Unleashing IT helps inform and guide your decisions that translate to accelerated business outcomes—advice and information from industry experts is available in the online resource section, and we highlight your industry peers’ experiences.
