The pace of digital transformation has never been faster, and nowhere is feeling the impact of that shift more than the workplace. For employees, work is no longer just about cubicles and commutes — now it’s Zoom calls, Dropbox folders, Google Sheets, and instant messages. The more work becomes a thing we do instead of a place we go, the more that employees, leaders and company departments alike need to reconsider the work experience they want to create.

By creating fluid, hybrid work experiences, organizations are able to empower employees to be equally productive in the office, at home, or anywhere in between.

If you want to design the best hybrid workplace possible, it’s essential to take the time to understand the changing needs of your organization and your employees so you can ensure your people remain at the center of work. Organizations that are still relatively new to offering hybrid work or are exploring the option for the first time must take the time to understand all the variables – including people, processes, and technology – in order to ensure success.

To better understand how other IT leaders are managing the transition to the hybrid workplace, Accenture and the Modern Computing Alliance surveyed more than 300 technology decision-makers to understand their goals, successes, and challenges.

Empowering the new pace of change

Digitization, automation, globalization, analytics, artificial intelligence, and a host of other trends from the past decade have all combined to alter the pace of change in today’s workplace so it’s not only constant, but continues to accelerate day by day.

To meet the demands of this rapidly changing landscape, IT leaders have focused on enabling a hybrid workplace that leverages cloud technologies, communication and collaboration platforms, remote monitoring tools, and productivity management applications – not to mention the devices and infrastructure required to power it all.

Thanks to these flexible technology solutions, organizations can enable a new era of work that is equally focused on the home office as it is the traditional workplace. The study revealed that 15% of companies plan to be completely remote moving forward,1 while technology decisionmakers expect an average of 30-40% of their workforce to be remote within the next few years.

As the ability to enable the hybrid workplace increases, so do expectations from employees and applicants. The more that the hybrid workplace becomes the norm instead of the exception, the more employees will demand a top hybrid workplace experience. A digital-first workplace that supports hybrid work gives you the ability to stand apart from digitally-immature competitors, not to mention drive innovation and productivity.

While the hybrid work is already a reality for some, for others it’s a work in progress. More than half of companies said that they are still looking to enable work from any device, while more than a third are still seeking to enable work from any location.

As a result, more than 70% of technology leaders are planning new investments in virtual collaboration tools and IT infrastructure.4 Meanwhile, roughly half of executives are investing in tools and apps that can enable the changing in-office work environment.

Organizations are going digital. They seek to dramatically increase their innovation to unlock new business capabilities. They try to meet changing customer demands and create unique advantages.

To drive innovation, organizations not only require data, but also the ability to act on it. The good news is that data is everywhere. This reality is a double edge sword. We have so much data that there are too many diverse data sources.

We now need the right approach to innovation and the right approach to storage. This requires IT agility, software, hardware, data services, and the cloud to address.

Why Innovation and Agility are More Important than Ever

As the transition to digital-first continues to accelerate, it’s clear that we live in a dynamic and fast-changing world. Organization now have to meet the changing market but do it quick.

IT plays a critical role in innovation within an organization by delivering the tools and technologies that elevate the user experience. But if IT is not able to quickly deliver on the innovation demands of the organization, the whole department can quickly become a hindrance to rapid, cost-effective, and error-free progress. By focusing more and more on transformational activities such as modernizing infrastructure and applications, IT is now spending more of its time driving business innovation.

Move forward with Intelligent Insights

With data everywhere, continuing to grow at hyper speed and in more places than ever, keeping up requires modern storage that’s simple to manage, scale and secure, while meeting all requirements. It’s especially important for environments where infrastructure simplicity and density are crucial, like edge operations.

Intelligent storage arrays deliver highly adaptable, automated and data-centric architectures that seamlessly integrate across IT environments. Ultimately, they increase IT efficiency and control by jointly addressing the organization’s data needs and enabling the agility needed for transformation.

Advancing patient care with modern, scalable storage designed to support your rapidly expanding deployment.

Healthcare digital transformation continues to accelerate in response to the need to expand efficiencies and drive down costs. AI, machine learning, automation and other data-driven technologies are reshaping both patient-facing clinical processes and internal systems.

Being able to harness the potential of data from these technologies is a necessary step towards realizing the promise of better, more personalized care. To do so, however, IT must be able to effectively manage, secure, and store this data while ensuring the right patient information and insights are readily accessible in real time, especially at the point of care.

Electronic health records (EHR) can provide patient data when and where it is needed with the proper IT infrastructure. To support their EHR deployments, healthcare organizations of all sizes require an agile, secure, and efficient data storage platform—enter Dell EMC PowerStore.

Recently rated with a comfort level of “Medium” from Epic for Operational Databases (ODB) and Analytical Databases within just a year of its release, PowerStore is fast becoming an integral component in healthcare IT ecosystems. These organizations choose PowerStore because of its performance, data efficiency, automation, cost efficiency, and security to keep pace with the rate of technological change and expanding workloads.

As it eliminates traditional tradeoffs in performance, scalability, and storage efficiency, healthcare teams benefit by always having ready access to patient data at the point of care. At the same time, healthcare IT benefits from PowerStore’s adaptable and flexible architecture, which facilitates deploying EHR applications at the edge as needed.

PowerStore is now bringing the future of storage with its traditional and modern workloads with a data-centric, intelligent, and adaptable infrastructure that delivers revolutionary new capabilities.

Modern data center challenges require a new approach to storage infrastructure

Digital transformation can be complex and challenging for many businesses. The data that is process and stored everywhere are more diversified than it has even been. Most firms have realized that no one infrastructure can handle all of their data needs; therefore, they deploy different architectures, resulting in separate control and consumption of IT resources.

Simultaneously, IT is under increasing demand from business to provide greater levels of simplicity and agility. Enterprise on-premises storage must now provide the same operational flexibility as cloud storage. It can be done with existing management frameworks by becoming adaptable and automated.

The new architecture and approach to storage is required to meet these conflicting demands. Dell Technologies introduces PowerStore – a modern storage appliance designed for the data era. This game-changing platform helps you restructure your IT without impacting present operations through releasing the power of data; regardless of its structure or location.

The PowerStore’s single architecture for block, file, and, vVols leverages the latest technologies to support traditional and modern workloads. These are ERP and EMR apps, to cloud native applications, and file-based workloads such as content repositories and home directories. DC, low-line power and NEBS-ready solutions are available. The ability to accommodate application, multi-protocol network and multi-format storage diversity within a single appliance provides business-enabling flexibility. This helps IT to simplify and consolidate their infrastructure.

Performance optimized

PowerStore delivers up to 7x more IOPs3 and 3x lower latency4 for real-world workloads than our previous storage generation. All thanks to next-generation innovations like end-to-end NVMe, and dual-port Intel® OptaneTM solid state drives or also known as (SSDs).Or, Storage Class Memory (SCM).

Scale up and scale out

Expanding the capabilities of your initial PowerStore configuration is simple and extremely efficient; as capacity and performance may be scaled independently. Each active-active PowerStore equipment has an effective capacity of over 2.8 PB; and numerous appliances can be aggregated for increased performance.

Efficiency without compromise

PowerStore costs remain consistently low regardless of how you grow. Thanks to Intel QuickAssist hardware acceleration, deduplication and compression are “always on,”. And, PowerStore systems provide a guaranteed average 4:1 data reduction without compromising performance.

Make it simpler, and more intelligent

But it’s not just performance and scale. PowerStore also delivers unprecedented levels of intelligence and automation, eliminating complexity, while enabling faster delivery of new applications and services with up to 99% less management interaction.

Programmable infrastructure

The PowerStore streamlines application development and automates storage workflows by integrating VMware with a broad ecosystem of leading management and orchestration tools. You can provision PowerStore services directly from the application toolsets you use most.

Achieving High Performance with Dell EMC’s PowerSwitch

Today’s networks are handling higher traffic volumes as organizations deploy applications, such as streaming video, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML). With these high data volumes, the growth of organizations will lead to organizations employ more data-intensive applications within their hybrid cloud environments for the foreseeable future. . Increasing network capacity without increasing network complexity and related capital and operational costs is an ongoing challenge that organizations need to address.

Relying on proprietary switching platforms also limits the ability for organizations to use operating systems that can best address how to build and manage their IT networks. This issue especially arises as more organizations have extended and scaled their IT environments from the data center to the cloud through the consumption of public cloud infrastructure services, public cloud applications, and cloud-native services. Today’s proprietary operating systems have not been designed to effectively optimize and manage traffic traversing these hybrid networks.

Meeting these unique demands requires a solution that will enable a high performance, high throughput platform that can scale to support low latency connectivity across the on-premises data center fabric network and into the cloud. The switching platform would ideally enable support for multiple open network operating systems so that organizations can choose the one that best serves their needs

How can Dell EMC Help You with This?
