As your business evolves, infrastructure sprawl becomes a significant IT challenge. Your IT organization may need to manage and maintain multiple, redundant data centers and a highly distributed environment. This increases total cost of ownership (TCO) and limits productivity and business growth.

Cisco infrastructure consolidation solutions let you simplify, standardize, and reduce server, network, and storage infrastructure. They help you lower costs, control resource sprawl, improve capital asset use, and maintain high levels of customer service.

These infrastructure consolidation solutions include:

  • Server consolidation: Simplify server connectivity, cabling, data center infrastructure, administration, and management
  • Storage consolidation: Increase flexibility, simplify network and storage management, and help ensure consistent data lifecycle management
  • Branch IT consolidation: Reduce cost of remote IT, improve remote employee productivity, and accelerate data protection by centralizing IT resources
