Improve IT efficiency with a standardized OS.
However, most organizations have built IT infrastructures that encompass many operating system (OS) vendors and versions, server hardware configurations, and management tools. This creates complex IT environments that commonly consist of new and old technologies that have accumulated over the years, which require large, highly skilled IT teams to manage adequately.
complicated administration, and convoluted processes associated with these complex environments can hinder IT teams in their mission to deliver innovative solutions more efficiently. without a framework to reference.
downtime, greater security and compliance risks, and other operational delays, IT teams require streamlined and agile infrastructure.
Standardizing your IT environment can help you increase flexibility and efficiency
A standard operating environment (SOE) built around a standardized OS can greatly simplify your IT infrastructure and help you overcome many of the challenges of varied, disparate environments.
Streamlined management and operations lead to lower operating expenses (OpEx), increased uptime, faster provisioning and deployment, and improved IT and user productivity. Additionally, increased visibility into your operating environment increases asset control, security, and compliance.
An SOE can deliver many benefits for your IT teams, users, and overall business, including the capability to:
- Automate error-prone manual tasks.
- Centralize and streamline system life cycle management.
- Manage software license use and subscription agreement compliance.
- Accelerate software installation, upgrades, and patching.
- Improve security and decrease shadow IT
