Enterprise IT Insights, Product Reviews & Strategy!
IT and network costs keep climbing. Software subscriptions multiply, infrastructure becomes harder to manage, downtime becomes more expensive, and lean IT teams are expected to do more with less. Many businesses assume cost reduction means cutting tools, delaying upgrades, or
Hardware refresh planning often starts with the cost of replacement servers, storage, networking equipment, or endpoints. That view is incomplete. Retired equipment may still support internal workloads, provide spare components, qualify for refurbishment, or retain secondary-market value. IT asset disposition,
A traditional hardware reseller helps a customer locate, purchase, and receive IT equipment. Catalyst Data Solutions supports a broader infrastructure decision that can begin before a product is selected and continue through deployment, support, refresh, and asset retirement. The distinction
The Arista DCS-7050CX3-32S-F is built for organizations that need fast, reliable 100G switching without moving to a large modular platform. It combines high port density, low latency, and flexible breakout support in a compact 1RU design. That makes it a
A server upgrade solves one problem but creates another: what happens to the old enterprise servers left behind? These systems may no longer run production workloads, but they can still contain sensitive data, useful parts, resale value, and environmental risk.
Choosing an IT infrastructure partner is not simply a question of company size, product catalog, or number of technology partners. The better question is: Which partner model fits the way your project needs to be designed, sourced, deployed, supported, and
AI and HPC teams are no longer treating GPUs as optional accelerators. In many environments, GPUs now shape the full infrastructure plan, from server design and cluster networking to storage throughput and power delivery. That change is pushing organizations to
10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) SFP+ SR optics remain a core component in modern enterprise and data center networks. Even as higher-speed interfaces evolve, short-range 10G connectivity continues to support switch uplinks, server communication, and aggregation layers with predictable performance and
Before buying enterprise GPUs, assess the full environment that must support them. Start with the AI workload. Then check server compatibility, network capacity, storage performance, rack power, cooling, software, security, and operations. The goal is to answer three questions: What
Artificial intelligence is pushing data center infrastructure beyond traditional limits. Modern AI workloads rely on dense clusters of GPUs that generate intense heat in a confined space, far exceeding what conventional systems were designed to handle. Air cooling, once the
Rising infrastructure costs, long lead times, and refresh pressure are forcing enterprise buyers to make tougher hardware decisions. Many teams still need to expand capacity, replace aging systems, or support legacy environments, but they also need to manage budget more
The global memory market is entering a new phase in 2026. DDR5 supply is tightening as demand accelerates across AI, cloud, and enterprise infrastructure. Organizations planning server upgrades or data center expansion are already seeing longer lead times and rising
