I've fought all my career to get "enterprise" folks to understand that spending $100s of mill on hardware vendors and 3rd party software is madness, if what you are doing is actually mission critical.
Money should be spend on acquiring talent and adapting to actual business needs.
The business you support could not care less about your shiny toys, they want to transform, and probably yesteryear!
A digression here, from one of your other posts: if your business applications rely on live migration of vm's, you're doing it wrong. You should take this up with your CIO or even better the CTO, but he's probably busy looking at Gartner magic quadrants and contemplating the dire need of a blockchain.
Keep an open mind, and keep it simple. Best advice ever in this crazy business!
