Enabling Our Business
Mission
7. Existing infrastructure
unable to meet
application/service
demands
People, processes and
technologies cannot
support
growing/variable
business needs
IT & business users
cannot easily
obtain resources
Multiple,
overlapping
resource models
Manual configuration &
deployment takes
multiple teams over
weeks & months
Slow, inflexible
infrastructure
IT teams unable
to keep up
Takes too long to
deploy workloads
& apps
Users must request
resources through IT,
then wait for a response
Mix of physical, virtual
and cloud models
leading to mixed
performance & service
levels
Key takeaway: We must work to transform application & service delivery
