eplus Enables Smooth Enterprise ITaaS Transformation Supporting Cloud-Based Hyperconvergence Infrastructure Converting IT service delivery to the cloud is becoming inevitable for most organizations. Large enterprises from every industry are transitioning their entire infrastructure and data ecosystems into the cloud. In fact, RightScale s 2016 State of the Cloud Survey revealed that 82 percent of enterprises have a hybrid cloud strategy.2 What many of these enterprises are finding is that the move is almost guaranteed to be disruptive, as it requires coordinating resources that support the network, server, storage and application platforms. eplus, with key partner Cisco and powered by Intel, can help you manage the many challenges of a cloud transformation 1 Develop a viable short- and long-term cloud strategy 2 1 3 Determine when to build or buy data center technology vs. cloud services Decide when to use flash storage 4 Manage the cost, timeline and quality of technology deployments RightScale 2016 State of the Cloud Report.

What is Hyperconvergence? Hyperconverged infrastructure has a software-centric architecture that tightly integrates compute, storage, networking and virtualization resources and other technologies. The hyper part indicates that all IT infrastructure resides below the hypervisor. Unlike converged systems, the technologies in a hyperconverged infrastructure are so integrated that they cannot be broken down into separate componets and used independently. Instead, the integrated technologies are managed as a single system through a common toolset. Capacity can be increased by installing another appliance into the cluster or cloud. Hyperconverged infrastructure did not even exist as a concept three or four years ago. Today, it is one of the fastest-growing methods for deploying IT in the data center. Gartner anticipates the market will grow from zero in 2012 to $5 billion by 2019, as IT departments adjust to new demands and their new role in business delivering services and applications. 2 Hyperconvergence is enabling IT, as the intermediary among customers, the data center and the service provider, to add value to and protect the business. 2 Gartner, May 5, 2016, Gartner Says Hyperconverged Integrated Systems Will Be Mainstream in Five Years [Press release]. http://www.gartner.com/newsroom/id/3308017
