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
