IT Challenges and Industry trends

Need to Optimize IT Infrastructure

• Consolidate onto fewer servers and storage devices

• Lower capital costs and administrative time

Reduce Energy

Footprint & Cost

• Companies are running out of space + ability to power and

cool current IT

Business Continuity/

Disaster Recovery

• Improve availability and reliability

• Flexibility to shift workloads across physical servers

Simplified IT Management

• Virtualization increases the complexity •SMB:s lack time and resources needed
