Nearly every enterprise IT organization has its sights set on tightly aligning the IT function with overall business goals. This approach enables the IT organization to proactively address strategic mandates to lower costs, drive revenue and mitigate risk. While simple and powerful in theory, the IT directors and managers ultimately tasked with achieving it often face a far different reality: over-worked and under-staffed organizations engaged in a non-stop struggle to keep up with daily demands. Bogged down in tactical minutia, many IT organizations are unable to shift to a more proactive approach. The impacts of changes to technology and business for IT are perhaps felt the strongest in the data center, which struggles to adapt to the rapid fire change of business demands and technology advances while dealing with issues such as power, cooling and virtualization.
Data Center Optimization (DCO) solutions help IT organizations gain firm control of IT resources, a critical first step to business and IT alignment. Best-practice DCO solutions help IT organizations discover what they have, determine what they need and automatically implement the appropriate resources, all while controlling the impact of change and assuring business service levels
