Understanding the challenges in Infrastructure

As you support your growing business, what challenges do you face when asked to create an infrastructure that is ready to support a virtual application or test beds for a new line of business request?

  • When there are too many highly technical people involved, in a provisioning process, it wastes time
  • These guys can take weeks/months to deliver the infrastructure for a new service, which will certainly delay the rollout and impact the bottom line business
  • Normal human tendency is to make mistakes in manually-intensive processes, which becomes costly and also takes time to determine the issue
  • You may be unaware of the changes that may take the infrastructure configuration out of compliance, and this significantly leads to hardware issues in future

If you have ever faced this problem, EMC Unified Infrastructure Manager (UIM) is the solution for you. In the next section, we will go through the UIM and its benefits.
