As the pace of innovation accelerates, today’s organizations need to make quick, yet accurate decisions about their IT infrastructure. The issue is that most IT administrators lack full visibility into their environment. To get the data they need, they are piecing together information from across multiple departments, or they’re guessing at their needs, without the information to back it up.
When customers have a comprehensive view into their IT environment, they can better see how their existing assets are performing. This enables them to better plan their future IT investments. And in today’s data-centric environment, the ability to accurately scope and build out their IT infrastructure to meet rapidly changing demands can give customers a clear competitive edge.
Dell Technologies Live Optics is a free online tool designed to meet these challenges
