New Offerings Maximize Platform Investment
ROI & Ensure Business Needs Are Met
Datalink (Nasdaq: DTLK) today announced new workload alignment
services designed to help organizations execute the critical
application ecosystem workload and interdependency evaluations
necessary to optimize IT operations. The services leverage
Datalink’s 25 years of IT experience and proven analysis
methodology for aligning workloads with best-fit platforms,
including cloud, converged systems and flash storage technologies.
The methodology includes the increasingly popular practice that
utilizes multiple, integrated on- and off -premises platforms
working in concert to achieve IT optimization.
IT leaders can choose from an array of services ranging from
educational workload assessment workshops to comprehensive,
Datalink-led workload evaluations resulting in recommended
platforms and strategy roadmaps. Each Datalink workload offering
provides senior IT and business stakeholders with key
considerations and a methodology to determine the best platform for
each application to support the needs of the business, as well as
drive greater efficiency and cost savings. These services can also
help guide cloud strategy, define IT role needs, improve IT
agility, and drive other operational improvements.
The importance of a comprehensive workload evaluation in shaping
a next-generation IT platform strategy was illustrated by a recent
IDG survey showing that organizations that have completed a
thorough workload analysis are more likely to report that their IT
environments are fully optimized. The same survey revealed that
nearly 40% of organizations that have deployed applications to a
public cloud have brought them back in-house for reasons ranging
from security to pricing and manageability, reinforcing the need
for thorough pre-deployment analysis and planning to identify these
issues . Conducting workload-related due diligence prior to
platform decisions is foundational to realizing business outcomes
and helps organizations avoid costly mistakes associated with
re-platforming.
“Every IT platform decision today should begin with a thorough
analysis of workload-related business requirements. However, with
the increase in the number of advanced platform options, assessing
each option is often time-consuming and overwhelming for internal
IT organizations,” said Paul Lidsky, President and CEO, Datalink.
“Faced with limited resources and time, many organizations forego
conducting a holistic, workload-related assessment and instead
focus on technology specifications like speed and service levels.
Limiting due diligence in this way overlooks critical factors like
IT process, staffing, business requirements and budget. Datalink
workload alignment services offload comprehensive due diligence to
Datalink, optimize operations, and prevent costly mistakes.”
Workload alignment offerings are conducted with senior IT and
business stakeholders at the client’s site. Short two-day workshops
and more in-depth IT and Cloud Strategy and Workload Strategy
services are available. Datalink also offers a full range of
technology solutions to advance customers’ IT transformation
initiatives.
