Server Virtualization Led the Way
WMware started it all, well actually
mainframes did.
Started the consolidation wave in the early
‘00’s
Evolved into Software Defined Servers
a.k.a. “Compute”

Software Can Define Anything!
Storage was next…2008
Networks are the latest craze…2012
Application “containers” are coming
quickly…2014/2015

Think Two Modes

“But I Need Cost Takeout Now!”
Review current processes, tighten where
possible
Automation and orchestration can help
Pick simple use cases first, like VM
provisioning
Layer on more complex services later
Be ready to deal with IT team disruption
Cost savings can be 20% to 40%

Future Plans
Strategy starts with involving the business
Look at a bimodal architecture
Build a roadmap, 3 year plan is good
Understand your costs and where you can
optimize, TCO, ROI
Tie your budget priorities to the roadmap
2015 is a great time to start, any later and
you’re playing catch up
