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 LessIT 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
