22 Feb What is Enterprise Hardware?
When it comes to IT Hardware, “Enterprise” generally refers to Servers, Data Storage Devices, Networking Equipment, and other hardware used to build your IT infrastructure. One of the biggest issues with definitions surrounding Enterprise Hardware is that in most cases they leave us with more questions than when we started. In reality, each one of those items (Servers, Storage, Networking, etc.) has a specific use case, and simply placing the word “Enterprise” on the product does not define the meaning. Let’s give Enterprise Hardware some meaning.
Enterprise IT, also known as Enterprise-Class IT, is hardware and software designed to meet the demands of a large organization. In comparison to consumers and small companies, an enterprise has greater requirements for availability, compatibility, reliability, scalability, performance, and security, among other things.
