Today companies face the fact that they have to manage hundreds of small computers with a small workload, that are distributed over the whole enterprise. In addition databases, storage capacities and applications have increased in number, size and complexity. As a result the IT departments mainly focus on connectivity, data sharing, application integrations, system management, data security, disaster recovery and scaleability of the IT infrastructure.
