Today, many IT infrastructures consists of data centers with multiple legacy products to deal with the myriad of applications, documents and data their employees need. These require high amounts of stored information that needs to be constantly backed up to ensure integrity and protection of the data, end users require on a day to day basis. How do you manage it?

If you have an existing legacy environment you probably have racks of servers, storage, switches, back up appliances, wan optimization devices, cloud gateways, SSD Arrays, storage caching, and data protection apps (for back up and replication). These data centres require an exorbitant amount of resources, power and time to effectively manage them, making it almost impossible to keep up.

HP Enterprise recently introduced the HPE SimpliVity 380 which solves many of these challenges allowing for more flexibility and agility while reducing the resources, power and time needed to manage them.

HPE's new way of approaching the datacenter helps IT managers look at their environment in a whole new way. The HPE SimpliVity 380 takes all those legacy devices found in your data center and reduces the footprint by 10X, consolidating those devices for example from 8-12 into 1-2 2U devices. You could literally go from 6 data centres to 3 and 34 racks down to 3 by utilizing this technology. Why is that important and more importantly why should you care?
