In today’s dynamic IT landscape, where businesses are expected to navigate a hybrid world of on-premises infrastructure and cloud resources, having the right tools at your disposal is crucial. Modern businesses require an adaptable and efficient IT infrastructure yet legacy servers, once the beloved workhorses of the data centre, can also be one of the biggest barriers to innovation.
Today, data is growing faster than most organisations can manage with legacy infrastructure. A business simply cannot be data-driven when its data is not always accessible or too complex to work with. Unfortunately, legacy servers often fall short with data management. Their aging hardware struggles to handle demanding workloads, and their inflexible designs limit a business’s ability to scale resources up or down as needed. This can lead to bottlenecks, performance issues and wasted resources.
Outdated systems cannot scale at the rate your business data is growing, often carrying burdensome operational and power costs which affect budget for innovative. Legacy infrastructure (which is known to suffer from known vulnerabilities and outdated security protocols) also puts an organisation’s data at risk from malicious actors who become more sophisticated as technology advances.
Future-forward architecture
With as “as a service”, hybrid and cloud-native systems becoming more vital to today’s IT environments, servers must be architected with the future in mind. While legacy servers struggle to integrate seamlessly with modern technology, next-gen servers have advanced processors and memory configurations to ensure they can handle (or accelerate) demanding workloads with ease. Additionally, their modular designs allow for flexible resource allocation – you can easily scale your server performance up or down based on needs, maximising resource utilisation and minimising energy consumption. This translates to significant cost savings in terms of both energy bills and resources.
Strengthening security measures is something that should happen from silicon to software and factory to cloud and this can only be achieved by upgrading to the latest technology. When you choose next-gen servers, security is prioritised security with features like built-in firmware protection, hardware-based root of trust and simplified patching tools. This proactive approach strengthens an organisation’s security posture, reducing the reduces the risk of cyberattacks.
HPE ProLiant Servers
For any business looking to leverage the full potential of cloud platforms and containerised applications, it’s important that your server infrastructure can adapt and evolve alongside your IT strategy, allowing you to embrace the latest advancements and unlock new possibilities. HPE’s ProLiant Gen11 next-gen servers have been engineered with a hybrid world in mind to meet the demand for data‑first modernisation. Certified and tuned for edge or data centre deployments, these new HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers are optimised for computer vision inference, generative visual AI, and end-to-end natural language processing. engineered with a fundamental security approach to defend against increasingly complex threats, HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers deliver purpose-built data solutions that help organise and extract value from data, improve decision velocity and drive business outcomes
Here are five reasons why your business should adopt next-gen servers, according to new insights out of Aberdeen Strategy & Research:
Businesses that use modern next-gen servers are 45% more likely to reduce security risks and 35% more likely to experience less downtime.
With the right combination of compute, openness, and capabilities designed for modern, cloud native systems, businesses with next-gen servers are 50% more likely to achieve high application performance.
Because 60% of businesses have set sustainability goals, upgrading to the latest servers is key to success. Along with meeting these goals, businesses benefit from other efficiencies, as they are 60% more likely to see optimised infrastructure costs.
Next-gen servers offer an open, flexible, and future-ready infrastructure. And, with next-gen servers, organisations can gain agility while also embracing innovation.
Modern technologies such as hybrid cloud and edge are complex enough, which is why leading IT organisations leverage next-gen servers with automation and improved management capabilities to simplify administration, increase agility, and accelerate the delivery of applications and services.
