Overview
Server and storage utilization is low, power and cooling costs are skyrocketing, Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity are nearly impossible, and the cost of managing too many data centers is an increasing burden on the business.
Organizations are looking at business and IT transformation initiatives, and within that context data center consolidation and centralized management of IT resources can offer huge savings through:
-Improved service levels and responsiveness
- Reduces support complexity
- Strengthened business continuity/availability
- Improved asset utilization
Simplifying the IT environment is a complex task that takes planning and preparation. This paper will help you get started by presenting:
- An overview of data center consolidation trends
- A vision for the next generation data center
- Best practices to achieve that vision
- Advice on how to proceed
