Meeting the demand for growing IT capacity –an alternative approach

– LESS IS MORE – Focus on highly efficient use of FEWER servers

– 100s of workloads on a single server

– Deploy advanced management and automation capabilities

– Deploy highly secure and resilient technologies

– Start with highly energy efficient technologies

Now is the time to be Lean and Green!

Today’s IT complexity has driven many hidden costs

Customers’ desire for a solution to complexity-driven pain

has never been higher

� Managing today’s mixed IT platform environments can be complex and costly

– Thousands of servers and growing

– Hundreds of applications

– More data

– Thousands of software licenses

– Thousands of distributed control points

– Ineffective costing methodologies

� The Result

– Massive complexity

– Strains on electricity, cooling, and space

– Underutilized IT assets

– Spiraling people costs

– Increased downtime and security costs

– Potentially - poor IT platform choices
