A savvy IT strategy is not about the individual pieces in a technology environment anymore; it’s about the infrastructure as a whole. Automated provisioning can offer better utilization across all computing resources, and an efficient application environment means the data center is easier to manage. The bottom line is that a consolidated system reduces the data center’s overall IT footprint, energy usage and costs while improving security and managing compliance.
Data centers today are not as efficient as they could be. In fact, studies have shown that the average utilization of a Windows server alone during normal business hours is under 10 percent and the average utilization during peak hours is under 15 percent. But, according to Logicalis, an international IT solutions and managed services provider, it is possible to get more than 70 percent utilization from servers and storage today with smart technologies that automatically adapt to a company’s unique needs and usage requirements. To help CIOs navigate the sea of emerging “smart” product families, Logicalis has identified four key ways to increase performance and ROI in the data center.
