AgendaAgenda Business Drivers / Challenges Business Capabilities Summary and Next Steps Demonstration

IT Realities Business Context Management Burden Managing IT is expensive, complex, and labor-intensive Business Agility IT is not aligned with changing business needs Increasing Cost Power and physical space are expensive; inefficient use of resources adds cost Scalability Increasing IT capacity is capital- and time-intensive Inside Pressure on IT Organization IT Budgets Innovation Maintenance/Operations InflexibilityDependency on IT Lack of Scalability Lack of Agility

IT Realities Business Context Organizations want to increase operational efficiency by consolidating virtualized zones. Internal use of private cloud appears to be a logical next step in the evolution of IT. Savvy enterprises opt for lower-cost, mature, and outsourced private cloud providers. Most enterprises prefer a hybrid model that uses private and public cloud services. Shared private clouds can reduce costs and increase benefits. The outsourced private cloud business is emerging at a significant pace. Service providers must differentiate platform capability offerings and service levels.
