A client has an existing infrastructure of x86 and Power servers running in small regional offices. They are asking for ideas on how to make their IT environment more efficient.
What is the best suggestion a PureFlex sales expert can make to address this question?
During a meeting with a client, they start the discussion about desktop virtualization. They are interested in Citrix hosted virtual desktops on a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure. For performance reasons in their environment they need CIFS and NFS support. As they have no experience with a VDI solution they want to accelerate fast time to value by using a reference architecture with proven technology provided by the hardware vendor.
What solution should the sales expert discuss with this client?
A Business Partner is proposing a PureSystems solution that includes Power and x86 nodes, the Flex System V7000 storage controller (with no expansions) and an FSM. The Business Partner has both their System x and PureFlex authorizations. The Partner has met with the client and needs to prepare a proposal for the solution.
What step must this Business Partner take first?
