Since most applications have varying HA and disaster tolerance needs and run on separate operating systems, your enterprise needs an infrastructure that allows you to select applications with minimal concerns for the number of platforms needed to support them. Read this white paper to learn how your enterprise can achieve HA and disaster tolerance objectives in a multi-operating system environment. You'll learn about an infrastructure design technique with the capability to do the following:
- Simplify complex IT environments through consolidation of applications and infrastructures, automation and orchestration of processes, and virtualization of resources
- Standardize business processes using established and emerging industry-standard operational reference models
- Enable collaboration across the enterprises in a value-chain by standardizing how information and services interoperate across organizational boundaries
- Improve resource sharing and cost effectiveness by modularizing monolithic capabilities into reusable business services
- Improve agility and reduce costs by dynamically linking business processes and heterogeneous, reusable IT resources both within and beyond the enterprise
