Pressure on Data Centers is Mounting…

Source: Gartner, 2006

“50% of Enterprise Class data centers will be

technologically obsolete within 24 months”

• Utilization

~

15-25% (Servers/Storage)

• Power & Cooling ~25-30% of total DC costs

• 70+% of IT budget maintaining status quo

• Storage growing at 40-70% per year

• Information Retention extending from 3 to 10 years

Virtualization

Better utilization, flexibility, mobility of applications/data

Automation

Policy-based adaptive service-oriented infrastructure

Consolidation

Improved utilization,

power efficiencies, lower costs

State of the Market:

Virtualization Gaining Mainstream Adoption

Agility

Time

Storage / SAN Consolidation Branch Consolidation Server Consolidation Static server, storage, network Virtualization Orchestrated Dynamic Virtualization Application-centric automation Transaction-centric automation

More than half of companies are well

down the infrastructure consolidation path.1

1_{Gartner 11/2006 IT Infrastructure customer survey} 2_{IDC 2006 customer survey}

3_{Gartner Bittman 2007}

Virtualization is no longer just an early adopter phenomenon.2

Customers … are seeking more advanced capabilities

and tools for their virtual environments2

Virtualization is a major enabler for infrastructure automation, and will help accelerate the trend toward

IT operations process automation.3
