An insight-packed two-hour session that empowers your organization to evaluate application ecosystem, dependencies, and workloads Our Workload Education Workshop is a fast-paced, informative session that provides a prescriptive approach and methodology for an IT transformation strategy. The workshop gives you the knowledge and overview of the tools you need to assess your workloads and infrastructure holistically, and determine where workloads can be placed for the most costeffective and efficient operation.
Moving beyond the single platform approach With the rise of advanced technologies like flash, cloud, and others, a new perspective is replacing the belief that operating on a single platform is most efficient and effective.
