Overview

• Enterprise IT Pain Points:• Total cost of operation• Operational & energy efficiency• Business alignment and delivery of business value

• Virtualization has struck a loud chord

• Grid extends the familiar concept of virtualization• Increased utilization of IT assets• Break-down of silos• Federation of data and infrastructure

Grid and virtualization work together in the IT datacenter and beyond
