7 Rationalize IBM s data center strategy uses tools to address complex decisions to balance the business requirements with objective analysis Enable growth New business and acquisition plans Virtualization and cloud adoption plans How many and where are assets needed Ensure availability Cost of outages Vulnerabilities Resiliency level Data replication techniques Improve efficiency In-source or out-source Lease or own Shift spending to new application development IBM Corporation

8 kva A Blueprint for a Smarter Data Center Resiliency Value $M (capex + opex + risk) Physical Infrastructure Capacity Analysis Primary Data Center UPS Resiliency Rationalization Resiliency Value ($) to Outages per Year Rationalize Our data center strategy analytics model outcomes and justify expenditures to reduce operating costs by 50% Single Site Twin Sites On Campus IBM Corporation Exposure ($ Thousands) Per Hour Twin Sites In Region Twin Sites Out of Region $ (Millions) Cash Flow Analysis Year Current budget is growing 6 percent per year. Retrofitting existing facilities yields an immediate budget savings of 12 percent. Performing end-of-life consolidations spreads out the costs, but only saves 4 percent over the five years. Consolidating to a new data center has the highest up-front costs, but reduces the annual budget by 33 percent.
