The IT industry is in a highly transformative period, with companies investing in technologies that will drive growth and innovation over the next two to three decades.
One of the hottest technology trends that help drive this growth is the movement towards Converged Infrastructure (CI), with companies who have implemented converged and hyper-converged systems deploying apps 4.6x faster and spending 41% less time, on average, keeping the lights on.
All Flash is also quickly becoming the new normal with its affordability, agility, efficiency and speed. In fact, 2016 marks a tipping point in the industry—where flash now accounts for more workloads than hard disk drives.
Dell is #1 in both the All-Flash Market and Converged Systems, and the Converged Platforms & Solutions Division (CPSD) was once again named the Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader in Converged Systems.
