More facts…
IDC predicts cost to cool and power servers globally will increase from$26Billions to $44Billions in 2010
Most servers run at 10-15% utilization !
– A server costs $300 to $600 each year in direct energy costs, and another $300 to $600 a year in cooling costs
Power company in Boston will write check for $4M if you break groundand move Data Center outside city !
In London, Mumbai, Tokyo and New York City, data center operators can't get more power to their sites
IT typically represents 30 to 40% of acompany’s energy consumption
ICT contributes to ~2% of Global CO2emissions which is roughly equivalent to
the Aviation Industry and if left uncheckedit’s growth is unsustainable
Network12-15% and growing

“One large data center can consume enough juice to power a small city of 30,000 to 40,000 people.”

CIO & Data Center Manager ChallengesStrategic & Tactical Pain Points
DC CAPEX/OPEX(Physical / Environmental / I/F)
• Effective (Server) Resource Utilization
• Managing Growing Circuit Costs
• Disparate Networks; Maxed-Out Facilities• Power & Cooling Costs
• Today: Hosting; 09/10: Large DC
Agile Data Center (adapting to Business Changes)
• Operational Simplification(including Process Automation)
• Flexible with Business Growth
• Ease in Access to Resources
• Virtual Office (Mobility)
Business Enablement(ability to Deliver Value)
• Disaster Recovery / Business Continuity
• Meeting Security & Compliance Needs(Adherence to HIPPA, PCI, COBIT)
• Extranet B2B / eBusiness Connectivity
• Globalization; Cross Border Businesses
DC OPEX(Expensive Aging DC)
• WAN Bandwidth Utilization
• By 2010, 50% of DCs need refresh
• Power & Cooling up from 1:0.5 to 1:2
• Application Consolidation Imperative
• Implementation Issues Multi-faceted
Secure B2B / e-Business(Managing non-existent Perimeter)
• Proliferation of different Devices & Users(without ubiquitous security enforcement)
• Need for control at a granular level
• Single Sign-On needed for B2B Ops
• Need Dynamic Mgmt & Orchestration
Operational Complexity(integrating Silos of Solutions)
• Complex Day2Day Management
• Dynamically Adapt to Growth &Contraction of Business
• Network, Server, Storage – 3 Silos
• Infrastructure not Application/Biz Focused
