The convergence of three significant factors in the global economy have created the conditions that make IT virtualisation a technology that will become the dominant technology in data centres within the next two to three years: The need for organisations to reduce its energy consumption, which enables it to also reduce its carbon footprint; the increased importance of the ability to respond to market opportunities faster; and the increased shift towards automation as a means of reducing operational costs.
The IT infrastructure that supports the organisation has evolved in a piecemeal fashion over a number of years, and this evolution has created significant problems for CIOs. The biggest issue is currently that of the proportion of IT spending and resources dedicated to maintenance activities, rather than adding new value to the organisation. This situation is compounded by the silo’ed approach taken to IT resource allocation and deployment within organisations, which in turn creates the conditions associated with under-utilisation of IT resources and inhibits the IT department’s ability to remain agile in its response to ever-changing business dynamics.
Virtualisation as a technology is a step towards the redesign of how IT is delivered and consumed by customers. Butler Group considers that the transformation of organisations from silo’ed business units towards a virtual business process-driven architecture is supported by the adoption of infrastructure virtualisation.
