Armed with the right approach, legacy datacentre infrastructure can be reinvented to increase capacity, support new and emerging business services and reduce operating costs.
As part of this approach, organisations with existing workloads remaining within their datacentres must decide how best to restructure their physical infrastructures to improve efficiencies and extend the datacentre’s useful life.
Most IT infrastructure and operations (I&O) leaders are dedicating their attention to cloud migrations, edge strategies and moving workloads closer to the customer. But they need to remember that a core set of workloads may remain on-premise. Although continued investment in an older, more traditional datacentre may seem contradictory, it can yield significant benefits to short- and long-term planning.
