Right Sizing Your Digital Transformation Strategy

This solution brief outlines the challenges associated with digital transformation and presents a methodology for optimizing software-defined data centers. It describes how organizations can understand the current state of their production applications and analyze application workloads to assess their impact on infrastructure performance across compute, network, and storage. The document explains the importance of creating realistic workload models and running iterative tests to ensure that infrastructure can meet application demands. Additionally, it details the WorkloadWisdom platform, which is designed to manage the lifecycle of workloads by capturing application profiles and performing what-if analysis simulations. This approach allows infrastructure teams to proactively manage changes and validate major requests in a controlled environment, ensuring that decisions are data-driven and aligned with application growth projections. The brief emphasizes the need for a new method of pre-deployment assurance to mitigate risks associated with workload migrations and infrastructure changes.
