Analyst Report: Pund IT

Revolutionary Homogeneity: The Benefits and Evolution of Converged IT Infrastructures
Charles King of Pund-IT writes about how converged data center infrastructure—where all assets are based on Intel’s industry standard x86 architecture—simplify administration, improve data center efficiency, and better support established as well as emerging systems such as cloud computing. The Intel x86 architecture is already in the vast majority of servers today and its adoption is growing rapidly in storage arrays and networking fabrics, leading to fully converged data centers.
