Survey Goals
Field WorkThis survey was fielded from July 21, 2014 to July 30, 2014
Total Respondents
53 qualified completes
Collection Online Questionnaire
Number of Questions
5 (excluding screeners and demographics)
Audience To complete this survey, respondents were required to be part of a 500+ employee organization that has plans to use converged systems over the next year and also to have excellent or good knowledge regarding their organization’s use of converged systems
The purpose of this survey was to gain a better understand organizations’ usage of convergence systems and specifically the related purchase decisions organizations make concerning these systems.

S1: Which statement best describes your knowledge regarding your organization’s use or planned use of converged systems? Base: 53 qualified respondents
In this survey we define convergence as a validated configuration which combines physical compute (processor
or server hardware), networking, storage and unified management on one single box.
Knowledge of organization’s use/planned use of converged systems:

• There was a relatively even split among respondents when describing their organization's use of converged systems over the next 12 months.• 32% Evaluating, 21% Planning a migration to converged systems, 19%
Testing, 28% Migrated at least some applications/ IT workloads
• An overwhelming majority note that the first workload to migrate to converged systems is the IT infrastructure.• Second is Enterprise applications (ERP, CRM) followed by Collaboration.
• The importance of most vendor criteria is equivalent across the board.• Multiple vendor compatibility is the most important by a small margin
while single training program for all system components is most noticeably least important.
• Of all respondents, 43% say they are extremely/very likely to consider using a single vendor for physical compute networking, storage, and unified management. A small group (8%) already are using a single vendor, listing Cisco, HP, IBM, and Simplivity.
• When it comes to convergence deployment model options, pre-integrated systems and integrating individual components in-house are the most favorable options.
