Many companies are finding their need for greater business agility being frustrated by an increasingly costly and rigid IT infrastructure. Reasons are many.
Maintenance of the current environment accounts for over 70% of the IT budget, leaving less than 30% available for new projects.
Annual operational costs (power, cooling, and management) of distributed systems and networking exceed their acquisition cost by 2-3X and continue to climb.
Utilization rates of these commodity servers hover around 5% on average, leading to excess capacity going to waste.
Time to provision new servers can be as long as six months, hampering lines-of-business efforts to quickly respond to competitive threats or new opportunities.
As a result, business units are beginning to go outside the datacenter to public cloud providers like Amazon in hopes of lowering their costs and improving their responsiveness. To avoid disintermediation, IT needs to re-invent the datacenter by moving towards a more dynamicinfrastructure. One that takes out cost through the use of virtualization and consolidation to improve utilization levels with a commensurate reduction in power consumption. One that embraces a private cloud model that dynamically provisions IT services in minutes/hours rather than months (and at lower cost) via self-service portals.
