Without a properly implemented IT infrastructure, businesses can face connectivity, productivity and security issues such as system disruptions and breaches. A flexible, reliable and secure IT infrastructure can help a company achieve its goals. The well-planned IT structure provides a company with resources to gain a head start in the market. If your IT infrastructure doesn’t fit your organization’s purpose, it’s unlikely to support transformational projects like multicloud, cyber resilience, or workforce transformation. Goal-oriented IT investments promote innovation. This incremental approach to IT investment may be due to the way companies buy technology.
When requests for quotations focus more on reducing costs than achieving a business or business innovation goal, it often creates siled systems that merely store data rather than deliver actionable business insights. And that’s starting to really matter as the technology acquisition cycles stack up, especially in the context of data center trends:
- Data growth: Rapid data growth poses capacity, deployment and management challenges
and privacy for many data users. According to Gartner, 75% of corporate
The data generated will be created and stored outside of a conventional data center or cloud by 2025.
This presents IT and data center managers with unprecedented challenges, including cost
Containment, technology obsolescence, and keeping pace with technology and user demands
According to IDC, the total public cloud services market in India is expected to reach $13 billion by 2026, led by industries such as banking and financial services, manufacturing, public sector, media and gaming. - Converging infrastructure is hampered by data center infrastructure: As virtualization
As adoption grows, capacity planning is no longer just about specifying servers, storage,
and network resources for each application workload, but rather the provision of combinations
of assets for hundreds and thousands of workloads simultaneously. Higher computing densities
exceed the power/cooling capacity of aging data centers and require new approaches
to facility management.
Shadow IT: Unless the IT team is seen as a enabler and advisor, users might try
Circumvent controls and policies. And today they are able to start with few cloud instances
Clicks and a credit card, potentially leading to cyber risks and rising costs. Simultaneously
However, the IT organization is responsible for the security and integrity of the
Information even if it disappeared in the shadows.
However, the bid process is not the only challenge: the entire IT industry has lessons to learn. Far too often we start the conversation with clients about the “marble bathroom” even though they may have a hard time getting the basics across. In companies with poor IT infrastructure, the team invests all their time and energy to keep the operation running. They don’t have the wiggle room to think about transformation, and if they do, the real challenge is knowing where to start.
To achieve “Internal Use – Confidential” success, IT organizations need a new appreciation for end-user values and must drastically reduce ongoing IT maintenance costs to enable investment in new capabilities.
The first step in supporting often conflicting IT priorities is infrastructure modernization
Components on which the IT is built, or to become a future-proof data center. IT departments used to build their infrastructure and buy their applications, but now they’re increasingly trying to reverse that model. They want to buy simple, easy-to-deploy infrastructure platforms on which they can quickly build and run core business applications that differentiate their business, while providing a platform for next-generation application delivery.
Watch out and watch out
Keeping up with the pace of change, looking to the future and responding to the urgent daily needs of employees and customers is a constant challenge. This is also another key reason to partner with vendors based on longer-term business goals. Forrester, a leading global market research firm, found that 81% of companies said they need outside technology expertise to be successful.
In fact, companies are increasingly looking for IT service providers who not only help them with the day-to-day operations of their business, but also need strategic advice in line with business objectives. Selecting the right partners means they benefit from expertise and best practices, as well as from skill transfer, upskilling and empowerment of internal staff while focusing on innovation efforts and critical outcomes.
All of this only begins to tell the story of where businesses and IT teams are headed in the future
Transformation process thanks to rapid digitization and market opportunities. There is no end point to transformation – it is as constant as innovation – but there is a beginning. And the only way to achieve both goals – innovation and optimization – is to transform the technology infrastructure by relying on IT service providers who offer expertise, integration and accelerators that help companies to shift their resources to other aspects of transformation. And so the modern data center is built and operated without bad plumbing work.
