Today’s enterprises operate in a new reality—managing mixed or heterogeneous IT environments. For some, this is an intentional strategy to embrace flexibility and choice. For others, it happens organically, driven by developers’ preferences or the integration challenges of mergers and acquisitions. Suddenly, IT teams find themselves overseeing complex ecosystems of multiple Linux distributions, open-source tools, and hybrid cloud setups.
This shift reflects the demands of modern business. Speed and adaptability aren’t optional anymore—they’re essential. Mixed IT environments are well-suited to meet these demands, offering unparalleled flexibility and opportunities for innovation. But with these opportunities come challenges, and it’s up to IT leaders to navigate the complexities and keep their teams agile, secure, and focused.
