If hiring more people is not the answer, then the IT infrastructure itself—in this case, a one-platform design—must be used to solve the complexity problem. It must extend everywhere and support every application environment (small, medium, or large) across the data center, the edge, and the hybrid cloud. And because IT rarely, if ever, works from a blank canvas, the existing infrastructure must be managed, too. These are the “single platform” needs of modern IT:

  • A platform built on a single software architecture with the same APIs and management protocols.
  • A platform that offers multiple deployment options—covering systems of multiple sizes, all-flash, and hybrid, and even seamlessly integrating into multi-cloud deployments.
  • A platform that supports any application environment: bare metal, virtualized, container-based, and cloud-native.
  • A platform with the ability to consolidate and virtualize existing heterogeneous storage infrastructure investments.
