Managing business infrastructure today is like juggling multiple balls in the air: balancing a compute platform including traditional servers on the one hand, cloud resources on the other, and constant security threats demanding your attention. Imagine if this could be as seamless as a single, smooth motion: a unified platform streamlining server modernization by integrating on-premises and cloud environments effortlessly.
The key to this streamlined efficiency lies in advanced compute ops management. By shifting focus from handling each piece individually, IT teams can instead achieve continuous, optimized performance. Let’s explore how organizations transform their infrastructure for today’s hybrid needs.
Adopting Modern Solutions For The Cloud
Legacy infrastructure can drain resources, amplify security risks, and limit scalability, thus presenting obstacles to business growth and innovation. Modern organizations process vast data volumes across data centers, private clouds, and public clouds to drive their business. However, as data expands across these environments, it places immense strain on compute platforms, complicating resource and infrastructure management.
Data growth is then coupled with new technology which requires organizations to keep up with capabilities vendors frequently release to enhance performance and security. Though these advancements are designed to benefit users, they also create complexities in lifecycle management, especially in a hybrid and multi-cloud landscape.
The 2023 Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Index survey highlights significant challenges on data and the cloud, revealing while 94% of respondents desire full visibility into their data, only 40% currently have it. Similarly, 85% find cloud cost management difficult, 46% plan to bring applications back to on-premises, and 92% report growing concerns around sustainability.
Alongside these concerns, cybersecurity threats such as ransomware continue to rise, with cybercrime projected to reach $10.5 trillion by 2025. This elevated risk demands end-to-end security practices, yet many organizations struggle to apply modern security strategies like zero-trust architectures and DevSecOps.
To overcome these challenges, businesses are turning to adaptable infrastructure to expedite digital transformation. One key strategy is server modernization to improve resilience and simplify management. By integrating compute operations management, companies can gain streamlined visibility and control over their distributed environments, meeting the evolving needs of the digital age.
Achieving Business Agility With Hybrid Infrastructure
Hybrid infrastructure is quickly becoming the go-to standard for its ability to keep businesses competitive. However, this added complexity often raises the question, “How do we keep all these parts running smoothly?” Like keeping multiple balls in the air, companies adopting hybrid infrastructures blending on-premises, edge, and cloud resources face the challenge of balancing flexibility with security and control.
