– ~$1005/Sqft, $40,000/Rack, $2,500/Server, 2.5U– 82% of installed equipment (Srvr,Stg,Ntwk) has only10% utilization– For every $1 invested in new IT infrastructure, $7 spent to maintain– For every $1 in new Server spending, 42c spent on Power & Cooling /2006– Virtual Servers growth > Physical servers by 50% > Managing VM Sprawl– Blades increasing Power/Rack by 10x Need Power/Cooling,

• Consolidation in Enterprises & Service Providers– IT in Mega Data Centers, Data & Video Info Vaults at SPs

• Remote Offices, Global Reach, Always On– 66% of Enterprise workforce has remote location independent capability– Always On 24/7, Continuous Availability Mandatory

• New Technologies Necessary - a Competitive Weapon– Computing: Hi Density Blades, Multicore CPUs, Linux/Windows, TB Disks,– Networks: 10GbE, MPLS; Global Reach– Convergence (Voice Video, Data): Unified Communications, VoIP, Web 2.0– Mobility & Wireless (Location based Search/eCommerce)

Workloads Consolidation using VZ

• A single server 1.5x larger than standard 2-way server will handle consolidated load of 6 servers.• VZ manages the workloads + important apps get the compute resources they need automatically w/o operator intervention.• Physical consolidation of 15-20:1is easily possible• Reasonable goal for VZ x86 servers – 40-50% utilization on large systems (>4way), rising as dual/quad core processors becomes available• Savings result in Real Estate, Power & Cooling, High Availability, Hardware, Management
