White Paper Abstract:
Data center transformation provides cost savings, reduces energy consumption, improves space utilization and optimizes IT assets. By both virtualizing and consolidating data centers, a business can reduce future capital investments, shrink support costs and mitigate risk. It also supports the CIO’s goal of enhancing service quality by improving infrastructure reliability. Today, many companies focus on data center consolidation to solve issues with capital and human resource constraints. While new data center technologies provide profound cost savings, it would be a mistake to believe data center evolution is only about saving money. Next generation data centers create agile architectures that support multiple goals but one of the most important goals for any organization is growth.
