Articles focusing on the optimization of IT operations are typically replete with buzz-words and tend to focus on abstract business-related topics that commonly feel like they’re better suited to bean-counters than IT pros.
The problem, however, is that when IT departments don’t implement a concrete strategy for ensuring efficiency, it’s entirely too easy to get bogged down in expensive, tedious, day-to-day troubleshooting tasks and operations that can negatively impact morale, decrease end-user productivity, and stymie overall business agility and efficiency.
To address this IT dilemma, there’s been a significant push within enterprise IT circles within recent years towards more comprehensive management solutions—as a means of allowing administrative actions and efforts to scale better. And while a number of compelling manageability solutions are available today as a means to help IT departments transition to a more strategic approach to systems administration, one of the most powerful examples of a solution that facilitates strategic management is Cisco’s Unified Computing platform – which blends storage, compute, virtualization, and unified fabric management into a single, cohesive, whole that not only enables easier management but which also ensures better overall throughput, performance, and agility.
