The demands placed on the data center have never been greater 32.6 million servers worldwide 85% idle computer capacity 15% of servers run 24/7 without being actively used on a daily basis Between 2000 and 2010 servers grew 6x ( 00-10) storage grew 69x ( 00-10) virtual machines grew 51% CAGR ( 04-10) Internet connected devices growing 42% per year 1.2 Zetabytes (1.2 trillion gigabytes) exist in the digital universe 50% YTY growth 25% of data is unique; 75% is a copy Data centers have doubled their energy use in the past five years 18%increase in data center energy costs projected Since 2000 security vulnerabilities grew eightfold while IT budgets are growing less than 1% per year. 1
Data continues to grow So does Capex required Capex available today/or Must be reduced by X% Understanding the business issue Do you buy cheaper storage at the cost of compromised service levels? Operating costs keep rising driven by more data to manage Capex Budget time time How can we manage this growth and risk with less Capex and Opex available?
