Tech Data recently sat down with Cheryl Neal, Vice President of Data and Networking Solutions, to glean her insights on the world of converged infrastructure (CI). Cheryl discussed her career trajectory, the opportunity in CI and the importance of collaborative relationships.
A large percentage of IT resources and budgets are spent on infrastructure management and maintenance. Learn how you can get the most out of your converged infrastructure and beat the competition with FSA One Frameworks in this #90SecondSolution featuring Avnet Solutions Manager, Bruce Gilroy.
“So which converged infrastructure stack should I hang my hat on? Which is the best one? Which one is growing in the market? Which one will still be around in a few years? Which suppliers are really supporting the channel? Where should we invest our resources and focus, you know we want to grow our revenue and customer base, right? And margin, we need to be profitable, of course…”
Why FSA One Frameworks? A Little Background and Perspective
So just when you thought you had gotten your arms around Converged Infrastructure, Converged Platforms and Hyper-converged...
All of a sudden, everyone is starting to talk about Composable Infrastructure (and if you're not hearing about it yet, you soon will and in a big way). Cisco's talking about composable, HPE is releasing a whole new composable architecture called Synergy, and many of us had just figured out how to have a relevant conversation about converged vs. hyper-converged and where they fit. The pace of change is our industry is as rapid as ever, so I thought I'd try to offer a bit of clarity with a high level overview of composable infrastructure and why it matters.
Ever wonder what a complex process, such as building a Cisco IBM VersaStack™ converged system looks like? Traditionally, partners unbox more than 150 individual pieces and manually test each part, one-by-one. Avnet's integration services takes the complexity and risk out of the equation and gives partners the time and flexibility to focus on other business-critical activities.
Football’s championship game is headed to Glendale, Ariz. this week, just a few miles down the road from Avnet’s headquarters in Phoenix. The sheer amount of online and physical traffic generated during the week of the big game is a marketer’s dream, especially in the IT industry. Avnet is fortunate enough to partner with some of the most innovative companies on the planet, and some of their technology is helping championship week operate without a hitch.
