Is your world changing rapidly today?

Applications are driving digital business.
IT needs to:

  • Meet aggressive time-to-market deadlines while supporting increasing number of applications.
  • Deploy and maintain applications across multi-cloud environments while keeping cost low.
  • Support changing application architectures, from monolithic applications to distributed microservices.

How are you coping with the challenges?

Today’s application needs outpace the infrastructure that delivers them.
You are forced to:

  • Overprovision capacity and refresh hardware appliances continuously.
  • Fragment application environments with disparate hardware, virtual and cloud load balancing solutions.
  • Settle for manual tasks to provision and scale services.

Hardware appliances don’t scale, and are extremely hard to automate.

Cloud

Separate solutions for traditional and cloud-native applications create new silos.

What if you could redesign application services?

  • Software-defined architecture

    Separation of control and data planes

  • Multi-cloud consistency

    Simplified operations with centralized policies

  • Pervasive analytics

    Unprecedented insights into applications

  • Full lifecycle automation
