There is a lot of opportunity to improve asset utilization
- By 2013, there will be 82 million servers installed.
- Twenty percent (20%) of server workloads have been virtualized.
- Storage will increase by 650% by 2012.
- Less than 30% of disk storage is used effectively.
In today’s economy, it can make sense to defer significant expenditures on new technology and additional capacity. Using analytics-based services can help you virtualize complex workoads faster with up to 50 percent reduced costs and 6 -18 month virtualization ROI. Storage analytics create flexible automation policies to help increase storage provision efficiency and lower Tier 1 costs by up to 20 percent. Using analytics-based services our network analysis toolkit can help determine how to best allocate your data center networking resources. To extend the life of your existing data center investments, start with a fact-based analysis.
