Today’s Critical IT Challenges

 Budget pressure to do more with less

 70% of IT budgets focus on “keeping the lights on,”
limiting funds for innovation
 Need to quickly adapt to business changes
 Power, cooling, and space constraints
 Business Continuity
 Security
 Simplified Management & Administration

Business Advantages
 Consolidate different ministries of the government into a single data
center

 Avoid data duplication

 Secure multitenancy allows different ministries/businesses to
operate separately if need be.

 Desktops as a service
 Backups and DR as a service
 Software as a service (Oracle/SAP)
 Application like Finance/HR as a service
 Make your data center as profit center by creating internal and
external cloud

 Many More…
 New Generation DC Advantages

 Backups 96 hours
 Storage at 25% utilization
 6 week new customer time
to market
After
 134 servers with VMware
 40 racks at 5 sites
 0.24 MW power required. Power
savings of $2.25m per Year
 840 network ports
 Full backups daily in 30 mins
 Storage at 70% utilization
 Customers activated within 1
working day
 8 Months ROI

Success Story: Infrastructure Consolidation
Provides reliable electric service to 400,000 customers; runs one of world’s most
productive grid-tied solar-powered systems

Before: Benefits:
 Saved ~$3M in server/storage
exponential server and storage growth and
hardware with virtualization
an incomplete DR plan while under tight  Quadrupled storage capacity
budget constraints without increasing headcount
After:  Avoided >$1.1M in labor costs by
simplifying management
Consolidated 300 servers down to 80 using  Reduced restore time from 4–48
VMware, Cisco, and NetApp® for all hours to ~10 minutes
storage, including virtualization and DR
“We’d have 300 physical servers today instead of 80 if not for virtualization. By
supporting our virtual infrastructure the NetApp solution is helping us save at least $2
million over a three- to five-year period.”
