Wouldn’t it be great if your organization could phase out dozens of physical primary storage arrays, while retaining the same functionality of those arrays? Can you imagine if you could reduce your physical storage array count to one ― one physical array to “care and feed,” but at the same time have dozens or as many as 1,024 different primary storage arrays to use as needed?

IT modernization is a broad category that encompasses solutions ranging from hybrid cloud and multicloud environments to containerization, hyperconvergence and flash storage. With so many organizations in need of an infrastructure refresh, it’s understandable that high-level conversations about enterprise IT often start with the need to modernize technology environments.

But really, this approach is backward. Instead, business and IT leaders should begin with the problems they’re experiencing, and then look to see how modernized IT solutions can address them. Here are five common business issues associated with aging data centers, along with modern IT solutions that can address them. If your organization is dealing with any of these, it may be time to consider how to go about modernizing your IT infrastructure.

Recently, someone asked me how organizations can take advantage of untapped cloud consumption capabilities.

At first, the question stumped me. After all, public cloud computing is a well-established model at this point, and virtually every organization is taking advantage of cloud software, infrastructure or platforms on some level. Even organizations that are keeping a sizable chunk of their resources in-house typically have a reason to do so — whether that has to do with cost, security or the need to run legacy applications on certain infrastructure.
