With rising electrical costs and exploding data demands, customer IT centers are becoming increasingly more expense to maintain and manage. The cost to power and cool servers and computers over their lifetimes now exceeds the cost of the equipment originally. The old methodology of deploying single servers and storage appliances for each application a data center runs, is no longer an efficient model. With the average utilization rate of computers processing power at only 8%, an immense amount of waste in power and cooling is inevitable.
