There isn’t a business today that doesn’t rely on their IT resources being safe and available. Downtime is expensive and stressful, and even short periods of downtime can cause chaos. As if that wasn’t enough to keep you up at night, an outage or other event that causes data loss could be the end of your business. Many businesses that suffer major data loss never recover.   

Protecting data and maintaining a high level of availability for critical applications is one of the IT department’s core functions, but it’s not always easy. In fact, many organizations only do the bare minimum to protect their data. Why? Traditionally, adding layers of protection has been expensive and complex.

It’s a constant struggle for any business leader. As your company continues to embrace tech-driven advancements, the demands on your enterprise IT are intensifying—and it’s nothing less than frustrating. You need more data storage and network capabilities than ever before, while simultaneously trying to trim the budget.          

That leaves your IT team to either cut their overall costs, or to do more with the existing budget. Obviously, neither of these is an ideal solution given the ever-increasing needs of your company. Still, you’re faced with the age-old challenge: do everything faster, better, and cheaper.    

It’s one of the realities of business: there’s always something that needs to be upgraded, always something that could be improved or isn’t running as well as it should be.

For many businesses, one of the most obvious is your IT infrastructure. Sure, you’d like to have the most up-to-date IT equipment. It would boost your team’s productivity and let you serve your customers even better. Businesses—and the professionals who provide IT planning and support—are under constant pressure to move faster and be more agile.  

As much as you may want a state-of-the-art IT environment, the fact is that there are hurdles in the way of getting the business IT you envision.  But there is one solution that allows organizations to deliver the technology their operation needs, while also reducing the cost and complexity of their IT environment.
