Converged Infrastructure

Tailor your IT to meet application and workload demands

Business needs today can't be met with yesterday's IT. A rigid, legacy IT architecture perpetuates silos and complexity through an overload of products and tools that lack interoperability. An organization and its applications and services can't run in silos, and neither can IT. That's why the common approach for solving legacy data center constraints is IT convergence.

The converged Infrastructure makes the IT data center architecture simple by combining infrastructure and platform. The solution optimally brings together servers, storage, networking, and management in order to reduce costs, automate operations, and better fit technology to applications and workloads at any scale. To simplify your IT, these integrated systems are built by design for critical workloads with virtualization, cloud, and big data.

Make your data center simpler, flexible, and efficient

Zones offers converged infrastructures to optimize both modern and legacy workloads. You won't get disparate technologies put together and labeled as "converged." You'll get an integrated solution with components selected and configured to ensure ideal convergence and workload optimization.

To get started, Zones solution architects will help you understand the various solutions offered by leading partners such as Dell, IBM, Oracle, EMC, and NetApp. Zones provides the strategy, design, implementation, integration, and deployment to meet the unique needs of your organization and keep your IT project on track, and on time.

Converged infrastructures make data centers simpler, more flexible, more efficient, and less expensive to operate. A converged infrastructure also:

  • Unifies management tools, policies, and processes so resources and applications can be managed with a holistic, integrated approach.
  • Tightly integrates security to offer advanced protection against sophisticated threats at the perimeter and within the interior of the business.
  • Brings together power and cooling management capabilities, so systems and facilities work flawlessly together.
  • Provides extensive scalability since servers and storage drives can be added at any time without any additional cables, so the system grows with your organization.
