60 – 70% of Operations Budget Wasted • A typical IT organization can increase capacity by 2x while cutting overall costs by 50% and
reducing power consumption by 80% • 2.5x – 3x improvement possible • In a $1,000,000 budget $600,000 – $700,000 is wasted
• Cloud providers are optimized, less expensive, & expose the waste – Commoditized, standardized, and virtualized – Continuously optimized and technically current
• Good news: the correction can be self-funded
