With the increasing turbulence in the business environment, the forces driving IT activity and reshaping the data center have intensified. Across the corporate landscape, the mandate for peak operations efficiency now has IT redoubling its focus on slowing—if not reversing—rising labor costs by alleviating management complexity. It also brings into the corporate limelight the problem of rising power consumption costs in the data center.
For today’s savvy CIO, the solution is not that
difficult. Fundamental technology trends and sophisticated IT
strategies, such as virtualization and IT service management, are
converging to create a revolutionary transformation of the data center
that essentially solves the problem through emphasizing the management
and automation of services within a Virtual Operating Environment
(VOE). The challenge for IT is to provide a sufficiently robust
physical infrastructure that meets a broader spectrum of concerns that
go beyond cost, performance, and backward compatibility.
