WHY THIS EVOLUTION?WHY THIS EVOLUTION?
Existing infrastructure is not designed to cope
with the demand
Too many service requests
●
Data is too large; often unstructured
●
Traditional capabilities are being exhausted
●
No one has more budget, but all have more to do
● More client devices coming online
● Bring your own device (BYOD) generation is here
● Keeping the lights on means no time to innovate
● Scaling UP no longer works. Scaling OUT is a necessity
Dynamic Apps requires dynamic infrastructure and professionals.
