In addition, this IT enabled businesses to convert their CAPEX to OPEX, thus driving significant financial advantage. On the other hand, in terms of Mobile-ready IT, today's mobile employees require on-the-go flexibility in order to be productive.

This is driving the requisite for small, scalable building block solutions, which are purpose-built and optimized for specific use-case needs that can be added or re-provisioned as required. Alternatively, Distributed IT is leveraging on the availability of a variety of skills and resources that are dispersed anywhere in the world and could be a competitive advantage for businesses. Therefore, capitalizing on accessibility and availability of these global resources has become a key requirement for IT departments.

Provisioning the Need of IT
Over a decade ago, server virtualization was a transformative trend. It was mainly intended for driving efficiency by increasing utilization of application servers, and was an uncomplicated technique to support multiple workloads in a single server. However, virtualization technology has developed over the years, and it has acquired many levels of complexities. Accordingly, conventional virtualization solutions are promoted further in the new era of mobility and cloud. In this new technological era, the IT buyers demanded decentralization of infrastructure and small, scalable building blocks that are inherently secured. They wanted apps, data and desktops to be protected, managed and delivered anywhere, in any place and on any device, without any restrictions and devoid of an inflated infrastructure.
