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
• New Applications can take 60-180 days to deploy

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
