An on demand business is an enterprise whose business processes — integrated

end-to-end across the company and with key partners, suppliers and customers — can

respond with speed to any customer demand, market opportunity or external threat.

On Demand Business

Insights about becoming an On Demand Business:

1. Increased componentization of the overall business and its processes

2. Applications becoming increasingly modular

3. Need for IT Simplification of the underlying infrastructure.



Simplifying IT Through Infrastructure Management

Infrastructure Management

Sense and respond to changes, manage and optimize for the needs of the business through Automation and Virtualization of your IT environment

Increase flexibility and reduce costs by automating your IT best practices and extend across process disciplines and resources

Automation

Delivering IT Simplification through enterprise-wide fabrics, Grids and the virtualization of internal and external resources

Why is IT Simplification so important?

“Data centers have become so fragile that administrators are fearful to touch the existing infrastructure, since any changes may set off a series of events that can bring a company to its knees. Consequently, many enterprises are restricted in deploying innovative applications that could potentially create competitive advantage.”
