Today, the transformation of the data center relies on the IT organization's ability to deliver increased levels of flexibility and service. IT budgets, often strained by the need for real estate, power, and cooling, will shift toward building new applications and IT services that are specifically developed to drive new business. As a result, virtualization, simplification, optimization, and automation will become key drivers influencing the successful transformation of the data center.

Data Center Transformation: Making the Best Choices
Why Data Center Transformation is essential and what are the choices to be made in this 21st Century? Simple, the type of IT a business possesses drives these initiatives and its clear that traditional IT may not serve the new needs fully.

Building a New Data Center

IDC realizes it takes a significant amount of money, time and effort to build a new data center and for that reason its important for end-users to have more clarity around the aspects that help them plan, build and manage their data centers more efficiently. However, IT itself may be required to be delivered in new ways in future. Business managers who want to use IT more aggressively are looking at CIOs to simplify the configuration and delivery of IT within their business divisions or groups.
