Consoldiation and Virtualization Overview
What if you could free up an additional 20 percent of the time your IT spends managing server and storage utilization? What would it mean to you, your staff, and your company?
Admit it. You probably haven’t had much time to think about helping your company beat its competition in the marketplace. Since the 1990s, when low-cost servers began proliferating across corporate departments, you’ve likely had your hands full just keeping the lights blinking in the right places across a sprawling, distributed computing environment populated with a frightening array of servers and proliferating storage. The 80/20 rule that has asserted itself in most IT shops is that 80 percent of the IT budget is spent holding legacy systems together and barely 20 percent is left for supporting business initiatives. Ironically, Wintel servers that are often at the source of the mayhem are working as much under capacity - typically 7 to 9 percent - as you and your staff are working over capacity - lots of late nights and weekends.
The trend toward enterprise virtualization, server consolidation and storage consolidation promises to change all that.
