Today’s IT departments have to grapple with a difficult challenge. They are being tasked with developing and deploying new cloud-native applications at near light speed proportions. While this is a reasonable request by the business, it is nearly impossible for IT to respond when they are relegated to supporting the traditional applications that run day-to-day operations. What has been happening in many cases is organizations are attempting to address this challenge by maintaining two different environments. They are operating their legacy environment to support and scale their traditional applications, while simultaneously building out new environments to quickly develop and stand up cloud, mobile, and web-based applications. The problem is that this approach is counterproductive. It divides IT resources, increases costs, overinflates investment, and impedes agility.
Composable Infrastructure Bridges Old and New IT
Simply defined, a composable infrastructure is one that allows IT organizations to align the infrastructure around the needs of both traditional and new economy applications. For the idea economy’s real-time needs, it enables IT, as well as Dev/Ops, to implement the most advanced technology in areas that demand speed and flexibility. Initiatives involving big data, managing unstructured data, and working with cloud applications and services are more easily supported. For traditional applications, it eliminates the drag created by resource-intensive applications on daily operations and protects their uninterrupted performance in an always-on uptime mode. Best yet, with a composable infrastructure traditional apps’ eventual transition to the cloud is easier and more efficient.
