Refresh seems to be the most likely catalyst for convergence. We gave respondents a variety of options for
events that would lead to implementation of convergence. Among these, storage deployment and refresh
projects ranked the highest, followed by server virtualization expansion (see Figure 11). Interestingly,
organizational convergence, which previously appeared as a prerequisite for convergence, also appears
fairly strongly as a possible catalyst. This indicates that the organizational shift may be happening anyway
and may drive further interest in convergence.
