Impacts from Server Virtualization

Policy based automation tools a table stakes

Converged set of infrastructure

– High memory footprints a solution for driving

VM densities

Refocus on Storage Efficiencies

– Data De-duplication

– Thin Provisioning

– Mobility/Virtualization

Attitudes and Budgets will have to change

– Budget for more SW for automation tools

across servers

For Large VM environments or Private Cloud Adopters:

Top 10 Datacenter Efficiency Strategies

1. Virtualization2. Site Rationalization and Consolidation3. Operational Best Practices4. Automation Tools and Software5. Datacenter Redesign6. Application Rationalization7. Modular Datacenter Construction8. Lifecycle Management and Planning9. Rack-based Power and Cooling Retrofit10. Architectural and Technology Refresh

Continuous Improvement

Less interest in long term strategies; more emphasis on making incremental changes that drive new organizational

behaviors and processes

Understand how all these changes fit together for

greatest payback

Worldwide Packaged Software and Services DCIM Revenue Forecast ($M)

CAGR 2010-2015 = 25.5%• DCIM is a rapidly evolving

market with a CAGR of over 25%

• The majority of revenue is from software with services representing 46% of revenues in 2010, decreasing to 30% by 2015

• Cloud computing, increased deployment model competition, and availability concerns are drivers of DCIM in enterprise and service provider environments.

Essential Guidance

Server virtualization is outpacing management & automation – This often creates more drain than gain. Investing in virtualization management is not a

luxury

There is no one solution for datacenter design– Business oriented analysis of different application groups – what needs to stay where

and why– Flexibility in design will allow more rapid adaptation of datacenter to business needs

It’s all about management– Datacenter Infrastructure Management is not another software solution, but the focal

point through which IT infrastructure is aligned with business– IT is but one element in these solutions and we are still some distance from fully

integrated DCIM
