Data center modernization, simplified management and cost reduction has led to an industry shift towards converged infrastructure. Yet, most converged infrastructure solutions are sold as 'one-size-fits-all' and typically don't align well to your business objectives. At Dell, we don't believe that you should have to change the way you run your business to fit your technology solution. In this session, you will learn about our broad and innovative portfolio of converged platforms and unified management tools that allow you to tailor fit your infrastructure to meet your unique requirements—and achieve the benefits of convergence on your terms.

3. Convergence is inevitable
Legacy IT in the modern era creates challenges
Deploying workloads
is time-consuming
and difficult
High costs of data
center management
Flexibility comes
with price and
performance compromise
Difficult to
ensure consistency
Rising complexity
Not enough skilled staff
Workload deployment
crosses multiple
environments
Lack of choice
Convergence
solves these challenges

4. Convergence is unavoidable
• Datacenters are changing fast: Legacy IT is siloed, expensive, difficult to
manage and inflexible
• Move to software-defined IT requires disruption of the traditional approach
• Breaking down barriers between IT silos: example Big Data
• IT users expect faster, cloud like service from their datacenters

5. The traditional approach to convergence
Everything in one box
New
proprietary solutions
• Closed management stack
• Limited interoperability
• Lock-in penalty
• High cost of entry
• Difficult to grow
• Limited flexibility
• Prescriptive, not adaptive
