Data Center Efficiency

Rapid changes in the business environment have put tremendous pressure on IT infrastructures. Tough global competition requires new levels of operational performance and a tight lid on costs. Executives, customers, regulators, and investors are ever more demanding. And the economic roller coaster hasn’t made anything easier.
At first, enterprises turned to faster and more powerful hardware. But buying a company’s way into better operations is expensive and highly inefficient. Companies that tried quickly ran out of room for new equipment and the power and cooling to run it.

Some corporations have experimented with simplifying their infrastructure: using some server consolidation here, a little virtualization there. But without solving the underlying inefficiencies, even those solutions became just another way to spend more money on IT. To achieve their business goals and unlock the value of their infrastructures, companies need a more disciplined and structured way to eliminate inefficiencies. A growing number are reaping benefits from a three-step process: standardize, simplify, and automate.

This first installment in a three-part series explores how standardization forms the basis for deriving value from the efforts that follow. By following these steps in order, corporations can ensure that their infrastructures provide the flexibility to meet current and future demands while preserving ROI from existing technology investments and building a foundation for new tech investments to carry efficiency forward.
