What Challenges Did We Face? Business Case

Gap Alignment

Servers distributed in multiple

data centers

Reduction in number of servers will enable

consolidation into fewer data center facilities

Limited data center floor space,

power, and cooling resources

Reduction in number of servers will reduce data

center requirements

Need to retire unsupported

platforms

Unsupported platforms can be replaced by virtual

servers

Slow server provisioning cycle-

time

New environments provisioned without purchasing

and installing additional physical servers

Limited hardware for disaster

recovery

Environments can be restored onto different

hardware. Hardware replaced by new virtual

servers and servers retired during future refresh

cycles can be utilized for DR site.
