6. Genesis of VZ & Grid Computing
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 Less
IT Costs Spiraling way out of Control
• Web Growth > New Apps Mushroom > Lo Cost Servers Sprawl (Tier-1)
• Business Growth > Need More Computing Power > App/DB Servers (Tier-2,3)
• More Servers --> Storage --> DC Facilities --> IT Support --> IT Staff
• More Low Cost Servers w only 5% Utilization -->High Power & Cooling Costs
• Costs Growth Out of Control vs. Business Revenues Growth
