Web-scale IT for the enterprise: the journey to modernisation

This report will help CIOs, IT decision makers, business strategists and decision makers, cloud platform providers, service provider executives, data managers/developers, and enterprise software and technology vendors understand the fundamentals of web-scale IT and learn how web-scale principles can be leveraged inside enterprise IT.

Key findings include:
• Web-scale principles and design can help organizations build private cloud operations that achieve scalability, elasticity, resiliency, availability, and agility.

• Hyperconvergence helps break IT silos by merging compute and storage, putting the data closer to where it’s needed, minimizing data movement, and providing the ability to manage compute and storage holistically.

• Enterprises that would like to reap the benefits of web-scale architecture on a smaller scale, without customized efforts and dollars, should consider turnkey enterprise solutions that offer many of the same benefits without the same time, staff, or budgets.
