Today's app economy is all about agility, speed, and providing great digital experiences
Every data centre was built to do one thing: deliver software applications.
Today you can choose to build and maintain your own hybrid cloud data centers, lease space within co-location facilities (colos), consume shared compute and storage services, or use public cloud services.
Contrary to popular belief, cost is not the main consideration when choosing between build, buy or rent. Some organisations pay a premium for the agility public cloud provides. Others pay a premium for private cloud to get the benefits of guaranteed performance, governance and security.
Business computing has long been the domain of large companies. Yet the consumerisation of IT and rise of the app economy has made digital technology much more accessible.
Smaller players can challenge larger incumbents with disruptive business models that continue to transform whole industries.
Just think: The world’s most popular publishing company (Google) owns no content. The world’s largest taxi firm (Uber) owns no cars.
Because digital presents a huge opportunity for your organisation to innovate, find more efficient ways of doing things, and create new value.
It’s the innovators that get ahead.
Whether that’s new ways of providing goods and services to your customers, more efficient ways of working internally and with partners, or responding to changes in the market much faster.
Embrace digital transformation
If you are a small business, it can pay big dividends to choose a common business computing platform that provides cloud-like agility (on demand, as a service) and economics (pay only for what you need).
Hyperconvergence delivers the same levels of flexibility and cost efficiencies that come with cloud. Yet it’s proven to give you lower total cost of ownership over time compared with public cloud fees. Additional savings can also be realised in terms of networking and IT staff time.
