The pressure is on IT to help drive business growth. However, the fact is, over half of today’s data centers are not optimized for agility1; over 60 percent of the IT budget is still trapped in maintenance and operations, and2; the cost of data center power and cooling is surpassing the cost of new systems.3
IT executives are faced with hard decisions:
- How can I optimize my infrastructure to deliver new services, faster?
- Should I build, outsource or deploy a mixed data center model?
- When should I consider cloud computing– and for which applications?
