Virtualization

Disconnected Processes– Data center infrastructure managed in silos– Need for strong vendor specific skill-sets– Manual administration– High touch operations

Results in – Direct increases in OpEx– Indirect increases in CapEx– Delays in time to market– Poor IT responsiveness to service requests
