Changing IT requirements for a multi-cloud world
As the volume and value of data grows, the demand to manage it across applications and platforms requires more. The answer is a multi-cloud infrastructure that changes the way IT meets demands for modern apps, data, and hybrid cloud services.
Cloud migration shows no signs of letting up. By 2025, experts predict 100 Zettabytes or 1 trillion gigabytes will be in the cloud1. It’s time to maximize the value of your expanding mix of applications and data. Today, the answer is a dynamic blend of on-prem and cloud, and FlexPod XCS supports your strategy wherever it may fall on the hybrid cloud spectrum.
