Customer Business Needs
Common IT Challenges Colliding Pressures Reduce IT Costs Reduce Complexity Reduce Risk Increase Rate of Change Manage More Information Comply with New Regulations
A Strategic Approach to Infrastructure Standardized, Shared Server, and Storage Pools Application Servers Database Servers Better utilization - Save money on hardware - Eliminate silos - Standardize operations But need to assure - Reliability - Performance - Management - High-quality support Can require complex integration and support Storage
Virtualization Is the Solution And Virtualization Budgets Are Increasing Don t Know 10% Decrease 5% No Change 31% Increase 54% But point solutions don t make it easier to integrate and manage enterprise software easier
IT Infrastructure: the Usual Way Applications Linux/Windows/UNIX VMware Red Hat OS Dell servers Brocade SAN fabric EMC storage Best of breed components 8 various vendors on average But how much does the integration cost? Different versions, compatibility problems Different release cycles Most of the problems are between the layers It can take weeks of fingerpointing before the problem is solved
