CFO vs. CIO - Shocking Observations• IT Infrastructure Investments yet to

achieve TCO/ROI Financial Objectives • Expected Boost in Corporate

Productivity not Visible• Post 2000 Dictum: Do More with LessReason – IT Spiral• Web Growth > New Apps Mushroom

> Lo Cost Windows Servers Sprawl (Tier-1)• Business Growth > More Computing Power

Copying ProhibitedWorkloads Consolidation using VZ

Source: Dan Olds

• 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
