CLOUD & 5G
Network sprawl is a growing concern in the era of cloud adoption , and refers to the uncontrolled expansion and fragmentation of an organisation ’ s IT network . This chaotic growth leads to several detrimental consequences , including increased complexity , inefficient resource utilisation , heightened security risks , compliance challenges , and reduced agility .
Abbott explains : “ One of the primary concerns with edge deployments is the need to maintain and manage a large number of geographically dispersed sites , which can be both time-consuming and resource-intensive . At Vertiv , we help our customers by offering a range of IT remote access software and solutions including a comprehensive IT management platform that combines the infrastructure monitoring software with remote access support .”
Vertiv ’ s range of solutions and services can help enterprise customers maximise their technology investments by accelerating the integration of compute , including AI-capable computing , into on-premise data centres , enhancing the capabilities of edge sites , and extending equipment life .
“ Monitoring and management systems can help to optimise the utilisation of critical equipment by operating it more efficiently ,” says Abbott . “ For example , identifying stranded capacity reduces energy waste and costs , and combining monitoring with remote access and support capabilities make it possible to reduce the need for on-site personnel and to enhance the ability to manage the infrastructure in challenging or remote sites and locations .”
