Data center challenges
•
Rapidly respond to business and customer
needs
− Struggle to meet service level agreements for critical
workloads
− Can’t implement new projects fast enough
− Need agility to respond to changing business needs
•
Reduce costs of operations and maintenance
− Too many applications, too much customization
− Underutilized servers
− Escalating power and cooling costs
•
Enhance quality of service to enable business
success
− Need to ensure business continuity
− Protect critical resource and data assets
− Meet Compliance requirements
