Data Centers Today
• VMs in minutes remainder of infrastructure stack provisioned manually
• 77% of time spent on infrastructure deployment, monitoring, updating
and troubleshooting
• Limited time to focus on new services
• Centralized automation and management is key to shifting this ratio towards value-add
• Allows IT to better respond to needs of business
Source: IDC, 2011
Challenges:
• Manual processes
• Complex handoffs between teams and domains
• Static resource allocation
Result:
• Days/weeks/months to deploy IT services
• High operational cost
• Rigid silos
• Infrastructure inefficiency and under utilization
