The Data Center Optimization Initiative (DCOI) requires the consolidation and modernization of IT infrastructure. Most agencies have fallen behind OMB's aggressive targets and are struggling to find fast ways to "transition to more efficient infrastructure, such as cloud services and... Leverage technology advancements to optimize infrastructure." As with most mandates, this transformation is easier said than done.
Leveraging Flexible Capacity can quickly solve all of the foregoing, while removing the most painful aspects. In this session, you can learn how adopting a true Flexible Capacity solution allows IT leaders to modernize their entire infrastructure without acquiring new equipment, leverage the economics of a cloud operating model, maintain control and security of your most sensitive and mission-critical infrastructure and data, and achieve DCOI success without the full burden of Application Modernization.
In addition, Flexible Capacity offers significant cyber security benefits over public cloud. Most notable among them are control over on-premise physical security, and control over and assurance with respect to critical firmware and software patches and updates, ensuring your environment has the latest and greatest protection. The same is true for any government policy changes; they can be implemented in your environment with greater speed than in public cloud. And, if you can specify certain hardware, such as HPE Proliant servers which are the only servers featuring silicon-based security, addressing firmware attacks. HPE servers are the world's most secure industry standard servers, potentially making your flexible capacity solution the world's most secure private cloud.
This session is for you if you want to develop a strategy to (i) refresh your infrastructure, (ii) be able to deploy new capabilities and capacity on demand and with the highest level of security, (iii) free your people up to work on higher-level tasks, and (iv) deliver on the DCOI initiative.
