It seems like you can't load a news site without hearing that the cloud is going to overrun the on‐premises data center. If you don't move your workloads today, you're a dinosaur and you're going to be left behind and replaced with someone more forward‐thinking! What? This is where you start to think critically. You realize that your workloads are running just fine and, really, supporting workloads is one of the most critical IT functions. You may realize that, at times, the cloud can be a good option. But, it's just that: an option. In this book, you see that there are two sides to the data center infrastructure equation and discover how each contributes to what will ultimately become the new normal in IT: hybrid IT. About This Book This book helps you understand both sides of the hybrid IT equation and how HPE can help your organization transform its IT operations and save time and money in the process. I delve into the worlds of security, economics, and operations to show you new ways to support your business workloads. Foolish Assumptions For this book, I assume that you have at least a basic under- standing of data center computing, budgets, security, and operations. Although the general audience for this book is the IT decision maker, it's also useful for anyone in IT or the busi- ness who may want to learn more about hybrid IT.
