2. High cost and poor utilization of traditional server and storage
environments create the need to consider cloud solutions.
Common challenges include:
• High costs to purchase, set up, configure and maintain server and storage environments
• Low utilization of servers and storage—particularly test environments
• Large numbers of servers dedicated to handling peak loads
• Scaling up to handle unexpected loads or new business initiatives
• Delays in new application deployments due to
long deployment backlogs
• Non-mission-critical environments, such as
test, seen as expensive and providing little
real value—with budgets constantly being cut
• High risk of defects due to incorrectly
configured server environments
