Appliance Paradigm - Validation from Industry
Watchers

• A new type of server device will emerge on the
  enterprise network. Lightweight, specific-purpose
  and standards-based, appliances will
  revolutionize delivery of network infrastructure
  services. GartnerGroup
• The move to the appliance paradigm is so
  compelling that were writing a report on
  corporate appliances and we find this strategy
  as an endorsement of our theory. Forrester
  Research

IT Challenges

• Scale more users to service and more data to
  manage
• Creates high demand for infrastructure (servers
  and desktops)
• Reliability Applications and data are your
  business
• Must be available 7 x 24 x 365
• Speed Only the fastest will win
• Requires rapid deployment of infrastructure
• Focus Concentrate on getting more business, not
  running it
• Currently companies spend 80 of time and money
  on IT infrastructure, only 20 on business
  development
• Efficiency We must do more with less
• High demand for IT professionals, low
  unemployment rate
