Datacenter Challenges

• Capacity limitations– Power, cooling and space capacity

limiting IT

– Expansion bound by datacenter build times

• More energy efficiency needed– Increasing energy costs– Conventional datacenter infrastructure

incapable of max density

• Increased pressure on capital expense

– Capacity forecast multiplier– Pay as you grow enables capex
