As an IT manager, you have every right to be
concerned. Aer all, you’re responsible for two
seemingly contradictory goals: increasing employee
productivity and reducing the cost of running the
business. On the one hand, you’re expected to provide
consistent application performance across your
geographically dispersed business for all employees
(headquarters, branch oce, remote), as well as
suppliers, manufacturers, and contractors. Your
business runs on these applications and by improving
overall performance, you help the people who use
them every day do more meaningful work in less time,
improving productivity and making your business more
competitive.
At the same time, you’re also expected to implement
strategic cost-cutting initiatives such as centralizing
servers and Web-enabling existing client-server
applications. Consolidating these resources into
a single data center greatly simplifies system
administration, management, and regulatory
compliance, and can also dramatically reduce costs.
