How to Reduce Infrastructure & Operation Costs?
Merging I&O:
In the recent past, the need of distributed computing had led to the decline of large data processing sites. But now, data centers are gaining popularity and cost restraints, server rationalization and growth in the hardware technologies have led to merging these enterprise data-processing units with larger data centers. This can help reducing the I&O costs as the costs incurred in merging the enterprise data units with these data centers is very less and creates a less complicated architecture.
Server Virtualization:
In any given operation, servers are utilized only up to a maximum of 15 percent. Virtualization of these servers can increase the utilization of these severs by four times. This will not only reduce the number of severs required by the business four times but will also reduce the electricity costs by more than half. This virtualization can be applied to many I&O platforms such as UNIX, servers, storage units, networks and client computing.
