Meeting the Unique Needs of SMBs
To compete in today’s fast-paced environment, SMBs need modern, efficient infrastructure that can keep up with business needs. SMBs don’t necessarily need the same levels of performance or scalability that are required by enterprise businesses, but they do need adaptable, affordable servers that can support changing initiatives and intelligently manage utilization. Utilization and affordability are particularly important in the face of fixed budgets, limited staff, and constrained space for infrastructure.
In other words, SMB IT admins want versatile workhorse servers with the flexibility to adapt to varied and occasionally shifting general-purpose computing needs that typically include virtualization and database workloads. Compact form factors are important, but the servers still need to provide recent-generation CPUs and modern features that can help the business compete effectively and operate efficiently—today and well into the future. Indeed, future-proofing is particularly important to cost-conscious SMBs looking to maximize return on investment (ROI).
