Extending and improving data center efficiency remains a major initiative for all IT organizations as growth, the environment, ‘always on’ 24×7 availability, rapid adaptability and accountability are all fast becoming part of ‘new’ business requirements. Unfortunately many data centers are tied to a mix of solutions, architectures and applications, all with their own unique issues and requirements that constantly challenge major IT and business transformation activities. Moreover, IT organizations can only be as responsive and effective as the business is willing to support, making planning and reporting critical elements for ongoing and sustainable transformation projects.
