Will CappelliConsolidating IT infrastructure and operations (I&O) will continue to be a high-priority focus due to its compelling benefits (such as reducing costs, and utilizing power and cooling more efficiently) and as a necessary prerequisite to virtualization. Most clients limit consolidation to data centers and servers; however, we see opportunities to consolidate EVERY major system that comprise I&O.
Key Issues:
  • What guidelines should I&O leaders follow in consolidating data centers and servers?
  • What guidelines should I&O leaders follow in consolidating other IT systems (such as networking)?
  • How can I&O leaders best manage consolidation projects?
