Management of All Layers Increases IT Efficiency and Enables User Agility

Layers dependent on each otherOS and applications installed locally; data resides locallyUsers’ PC has authoritative copy (truth); truth is distributedManaging distributed truth increases complexity

Reducing dependencies between layers and managing truth at the center (i.e., network centric management) enable

Users to access apps, data on any device from anywhereIT to lower TCO, increase agility
