How To Safely Transform To An Agile Data Centre

As Lifehacker covered in ‘The Next Five Years Of IT‘, the modern data centre is no longer a static environment. To stay competitive, you need an agile data centre which can deploy on-premises, pure cloud or hybrid technologies as the need arises. But what’s the best way to effectively manage and deploy those resources? Here’s how to control your data across all major platforms and protect against security breaches, loss of data and business downtime.

A high performance and reliable agile data centre environment is all about balance. It’s about getting the appropriate resources delivered to the right users, applications, places, locations and platforms in the right way — when you need them. Check out the short video below where Jeff Hausman from Symantec elaborates on this concept.

Your Business Edge

Forrester Research defines business agility as “the quality that allows an enterprise to embrace market and operational changes as a matter of routine”. It’s not a new concept for business, but it’s a modern, competitive opportunity for IT. A business is only as agile as its data centre, after all.
