  • Reaping the Benefits of Consolidated IT Infrastructure

    Most government agencies struggle through a piecemeal approach to technology, some of which is a natural result of having multiple, autonomous work sites. Departments often create independent solutions at each location.

The answer for many departments has been found in hyperconverged infrastructure – that is, consolidating infrastructure in one location with an all-software solution. By managing servers from a single pain, agencies are finding better ease of use, manageability, security, and compliance. 09/27/2018
