Rising costs and shrinking budgets are driving enterprises to place greater demands on data center management teams, but organizational structures and tools are slow to change making targets difficult, if not impossible, to meet. For example, enterprises are requesting more accurate IT asset lists including asset ages, ownership and costs to operate. They want to know space, power, cooling and network utilization rates in order to understand trends in space and power utilization, change activity, and troubleshooting. Why? They need to justify current budgets and plan future migration, colocation and cloud strategies and budgets. This session discusses new organizational models and the tool sets needed to meet the ever increasing list of enterprise demands.
