b'On this week\\u2019s Conversations in the Cloud, we are joined by Tim Henning, director of architecture and engineering at SHI. SHI offers custom IT solutions and offers services including detailed assessment tools, volume licensing expertise, and simplified billing solutions. Tim talks about his role as the head of the SHI Customer Innovation Center, a facility where customers can test and evaluate the latest technology. The Innovative Center continues to grow and explore future technology disruptors that can benefit their customers. \\n\\nSHI will include Intel\\xae Select Solutions in the Innovation Center. SHI recently began offering the Intel\\xae Select Solution for VMware vSAN, a preconfigured solution that is performance optimized for high-capacity memory workloads. This solution is built on the 2nd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor, utilizing Intel\\xae Optane\\u2122 SSDs and Intel\\xae Networking technology. Moving from traditional on-prem datacenter to private and hybrid cloud, it\\u2019s about getting the most money from your investment and best application performance. Intel Xeon Scalable processors help SHI build high performance solutions that are both on-prem and connecting to the cloud. \\n\\nTim notes that vSAN is moving away from traditional storage architecture, bringing the technology into the new hyper converged world where servers and storage are all one device and is managed as such. This helps with ease of implementation and ease of management with the ability to expand for future growth. \\n\\nThe future will see more businesses exploring new and expanded cloud configuration and SHI wants to help their customers determine the most efficient and performance optimized implementation.\\n\\nLearn more about the Innovation Center at www.SHI.com/CIC and read about SHI\\u2019s Intel Select Solutions at www.SHI.com/IntelSelectSolutions.'
