Impacts from Server Virtualization
Policy based automation tools a table stakes
Converged set of infrastructure
– High memory footprints a solution for driving
VM densities
Refocus on Storage Efficiencies
– Data De-duplication
– Thin Provisioning
– Mobility/Virtualization
Attitudes and Budgets will have to change
– Budget for more SW for automation tools
across servers

1. Virtualization2. Site Rationalization and Consolidation3. Operational Best Practices4. Automation Tools and Software5. Datacenter Redesign6. Application Rationalization7. Modular Datacenter Construction8. Lifecycle Management and Planning9. Rack-based Power and Cooling Retrofit10. Architectural and Technology Refresh
Continuous Improvement
Less interest in long term strategies; more emphasis on making incremental changes that drive new organizational
behaviors and processes
Understand how all these changes fit together for
greatest payback

Worldwide Packaged Software and Services DCIM Revenue Forecast ($M)
CAGR 2010-2015 = 25.5%• DCIM is a rapidly evolving
market with a CAGR of over 25%
• The majority of revenue is from software with services representing 46% of revenues in 2010, decreasing to 30% by 2015
• Cloud computing, increased deployment model competition, and availability concerns are drivers of DCIM in enterprise and service provider environments.

Essential Guidance
Server virtualization is outpacing management & automation – This often creates more drain than gain. Investing in virtualization management is not a
luxury
There is no one solution for datacenter design– Business oriented analysis of different application groups – what needs to stay where
and why– Flexibility in design will allow more rapid adaptation of datacenter to business needs
It’s all about management– Datacenter Infrastructure Management is not another software solution, but the focal
point through which IT infrastructure is aligned with business– IT is but one element in these solutions and we are still some distance from fully
integrated DCIM
