What to Look for in a Data Center Partner Make the Most of Cloud and Virtualization Innovations WRITTEN BY KEVIN O'CONNOR
E
VERY organization is searching for ways to reduce the costs and complexity of running a
data center. Nearly all IT operations look first to the technology they want to use to address that challenge. Few organizations look first to leverage a partner for that journey. The demands on IT seem to be increasing every day— everyone wants everything on demand, without having to wait for it and in accordance with the governance, risk, and compliance requirements that their organization must adhere to. To address those challenges and
to offload some or all of that work, organizations are increasingly turning to the cloud and hyper-virtualized IT infrastructures. VMware has been leading the way in delivering innovative products to solve these challenges—and at PC Connection, our team is working closely with VMware and our clients to realize these outcomes. In searching for simplicity a lot of organizations are turning to software-
defined data center management. That means you’ll get a range of options to achieve delivery of your service— anything from on-premises cloud to off-premises cloud to colocation or a hybrid cloud approach. PC Connection’s Converged Data Center Solutions team invests heavily in staying current with the latest competency certifications, deploying a comprehensive portfolio of VMware solutions into its test and readiness labs as well as leveraging the technology with our clients. What many customers are just
starting to realize is that VMware is not just a single technology implementation, but rather a full technology stack that can become
the foundation of your data center infrastructure and operations. But why rely on this finding
yourself and not bring in an expert who helps clients leverage the power of these technologies every day? Let PC Connection show you how.
