APPLICATION OR SERVICE OWNER (BUSINESS)
Situation:
We are heavily dependent on IT to increase revenue
IT Slows me down
• Business often views themselves as held
“hostage” by IT
• They cannot introduce new IT solutions
• Very high cost of operations
IT takes it forever to do it
Traditional Datacenter
DATACENTER SERVICE PROVIDER (IT)
Situation:
DCAdmin
Server sprawl due to dedicated server per application
IT budget is less
• Multiple tools and manual processes result in long request fulfillment times,
• High operations costs and complex maintenance protocols Less-than-secure environments.
Infrastructure is complex
Traditional Datacenter
Automate Datacenter – Why?
Manage complex IT infrastructureManage everything from Infra to Apps
If you want MORE with less – you need AUTOMATION
Avoid delaysAvoid human error
Decrease management costEnsure standards
