Fostering Effective Collaboration Between Application Development and Operations Teams Through Converged and Hyperconverged Infrastructure

Modern infrastructure platforms such as CI/HCI solutions provide new levels of infrastructure agility needed to meet performance, availability, reliability, and security needs for Agile development processes. They also provide automated life-cycle management features designed to help reduce the risk associated with complex system upgrades requiring many manual steps. Automating this process helps prevent application outages by ensuring all upgrade steps are performed correctly and in the correct order.

By automating infrastructure life-cycle management, modern HCI solutions enable I&O teams to collaborate closely with application development teams through DevOps approaches. They also help I&O teams improve operational efficiencies by taking a proactive approach to infrastructure maintenance. According to the survey, I&O respondents indicated that more than 60% of their total workloads are hosted on CI/HCI solutions. These solutions are often the preferred platforms for deploying workloads because of their ability to drive considerable operational efficiencies.
