There are too many emerging technologies converging right now to put off server modernisation any longer.

AI and machine learning, virtual and augmented reality, blockchain, autonomous vehicles, the cloud, big data analytics—all these technologies (and more) need advanced server capabilities to function effectively.

For instance, HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers are built for modern workloads and hybrid environments, while HPE GreenLake for Compute is HPE’s infrastructure-as-a-service offering, providing cloud-like consumption and as-a-service management.

Without modern servers, your organisation risks an inability to adopt new technologies quickly and falling behind more agile competitors.

Slower processing speeds and difficulty handling increased data volumes and user loads will follow, constraining business growth and delivering a poor user experience for customers and employees, denting confidence in your organisation.

And there are more problems with outdated servers:

  • Security vulnerabilities—According to Cybersecurity Ventures, Cybercrime will increase 15% year over year to $10.5 trillion by 2025, up from $3 trillion in 2015
  • Increased maintenance expenses for legacy systems
  • Higher energy consumption from inefficient hardware
  • Potential loss of business due to system limitations
  • Challenges integrating with modern software and services
  • Frustration among IT staff working with outdated systems
  • Difficulty attracting skilled professionals who prefer modern tech stacks
