5. Why?
Business Benefits
#1 Lower Energy Costs
Costs $820 per server
or. . . . .
# Servers x $820 = $ ???
# of Servers/10 x $820 = $ ??? 10 x $820 = $8200
Subtract for Savings vs
Single Virtualized Server
$820
Savings of $7380 per year!

6. Business Benefits
Business Benefits
#2 Space – Real Estate Savings
 Server Room will always remain
 ??? Are you maxing out the space?
 Virtualization will make a more effective use of your space and
storage needs
#3 Maintenance Costs
 25 Servers = 1 Employee
 Job Security vs More Responsive Business Unit
 Provisioning a Server Provides More Competitive Business Environment

7. Business Benefits
#4 Capital Savings
How Many Applications do you increase by each year?
How Many do you Deny because of Budget Restrictions?
HardWare Costs $5K
Each Application Costs $5K in Hardware Alone
8 Applications each year? 8x5 $40,000 Hardware
1 Virtualized Server - Providing 8 Applications
Savings of $35,000
How much more competitive could you be?

8. #1 Objective For Virtualization

15. Disasters Happen. Do You Need Protection?
43% of companies experiencing
disasters never re-open, and 29%
close within two years.
(McGladrey and Pullen)
93% of business that lost their data
center for 10 days went bankrupt
within one year.
(National Archives & Records Administration)
Top executives say 10 hours to
recovery; IT managers say up to 30
hours.
(Harris Interactive)

16. Disaster Recovery Plan
What is your Disaster Recover Plan?
Challenges of Current Plans:
 Not Automated - Too Complex
 Identical Hardware/Software &
Configurations-Budget Restrictive
 Difficult and Disruptive to Test
 Run Book – Out of date
