Some real-world examples of how small businesses have transformed the way they work
Public cloud services are convenient and require little overhead to run. You just consume the resources you need and pay on a monthly basis.
But the more you consume, the higher the cost – particularly when it comes to storage.
In reality, you can run the majority of your business computing more efficiently using your own private cloud.
And with cloud-based management, you get all the benefits of the cloud model, but at a predictable cost over a typical 5-year investment period.
If you want to invest in your own business computing rather than managing lots of software and services from the cloud, hyperconvergence gives you everything you need.
World-famous department store Liberty London is a big fan. The retailer’s systems were struggling to support its virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). With hyperconvergence deployed, user login has been cut from 30 minutes to 30 seconds.
TASSO is a non-profit animal welfare organisation who operates Europe's largest pet registry.
Like many smaller organisations, it had started out with a few servers and a virtualisation solution. However, as its database grew, it became costly to add more storage, with system performance also starting to suffer.
By replacing its legacy system with a hyperconverged platform that comes with all flash storage, TASSO now has all the capacity and performance it needs.
Why organisations love hyperconvergence
It has also lowered its management overhead with automated system configuration, and plans to deploy VDI to support its call centre team.
Digby Brown Solicitors, Scotland’s largest personal injury firm turned to hyperconvergence to support its digital transformation.
With legacy infrastructure and a complex application base holding it back, the firm migrated to hyperconvergence because it’s much simpler to manage. The IT team at Digby Brown Solicitors is now able to spend much more time on innovations that drive business outcomes and much less time on systems administration.
