This, in turn, has led to increased interest in x86-based scale-up systems, in which compute, storage, and networking have been integrated into a single, more efficient system with a larger number of sockets and cores to achieve a better cost-performance ratio. That means that Mission Critical workloads, must run on highly reliable and available platforms to ensure that business processes are running smoothly.Īs customers transform their datacenters to support Mission Critical workloads, there has been increasing demand for “Unix” like performance, RAS, scalability, and security on x86. Any interruption in the operation or availability of these workloads will have a ripple effect throughout the organization because downtime interferes with business processes and interrupts business continuity. Maintaining the hardware and applications-and finding skilled support resources to help manage SLAs, all contribute to these costs.Īny outage of the Mission Critical server infrastructure results in reduced revenue, reduced profitability, reduced employee productivity, and reduced customer loyalty.
Over time, ongoing operating costs have continued to escalate. The acquisition cost of these systems has always been high, and customers typically are not able to choose hardware and software independently. Many businesses today still continue to run critical applications and store important data in legacy closed-platform silos.
Any outage of Mission Critical server infrastructure directly impacts revenue and profitability, so downtime must be avoided. In the modern, global corporate landscape, it is almost certain that users will need to access these systems at any time of day, demanding around-the-clock, 24/7 availability. Mission Critical applications, such as ERP, CRM, business intelligence, data warehousing, and analytics, advance and support business in many fundamental ways. These workloads are the most demanding types of applications and databases running on servers today.
Mission Critical workloads support the business in every dimension, its organization, its employees, and its customers.
