• Complexity caused by multiple systems management tools and consoles • Limited IT staff and expertise Need greater performance, more storage, easier connectivity, greater security, and simpler management of it all • Complexity caused by disparate hardware • Hard to integrate standalone hardware • Lack of platform scalability or space for growth • Lack of standardizatio n and control • Various makes and models of servers • Protecting remote data pools • Managing custom apps in remote locations • No space to locate enterprise hardware
means to an end So why isn’t it easier to use? • Where do I start? • How do I know what to buy? • How I do I install it? • How do I connect to a network, my employees, vendors and offices? • How do I move my old stuff to a better platform? • Ho do I control all the pieces once I have them? • Who will provide expert advice when I need it? • How do grow it when I need more? Why isn’t this easy? “I want to run my business more efficiently.” “I want to deliver better patient care.” “I want do drive better student outcomes.” “I want more scalability and flexibility” “I want to connect my remote offices better.” “I want a simple platform I can manage easily.”
