The document discusses transforming data centers to cloud computing. It outlines how virtualization, automation, and service management can help optimize infrastructure and lead to cloud computing. Cloud computing delivers IT services through standardized, consumable web services with attributes like elastic scaling, metering and billing, and rapid provisioning. It allows various sourcing options like private or public clouds. A cloud management platform provides user interfaces, integrates partner clouds, and handles functions like offering management, customer management, and pricing/rating to deliver cloud services.
2. Dynamic Infrastructure
Delivering superior business and IT services with agility and speed
Service Management – Provide visibility, control and automation
across all the business and IT assets to deliver higher value services.
Asset Management – Maximizing the value of critical business
and IT assets over their lifecycle with industry tailored asset
management solutions.
Energy Efficiency – Address energy, environment, and
sustainability challenges and opportunities across your
infrastructure.
Virtualization – Leadership virtualization and consolidation
solutions that reduce cost, improve asset utilization, and speed
provisioning of new services.
Business Resiliency – Maintaining continuous business operations while
rapidly adapting and responding to risks and opportunities.
Security – End to end industry customized governance, risk
management and compliance solutions.
Information Infrastructure – Helping businesses achieve information compliance, availability,
retention, and security objectives.

Key Customer Pain Points How Cloud Delivers Value
Lost business opportunity because IT too Ability to dynamically scale IT services to
slow to react. Lack of agility. meet business demands in real time
Long deployment timelines for new Automate the provisioning and
systems (weeks/months+). deployment of new systems
Operations that cross functional IT Standardize and automate both requests
groups are slow and inefficient and fulfilment across IT silos
Many steps are manual and prone to Utilizes repeatable, standardized and
error automated procedure to reduce errors
Huge up-front infrastructure investment Abstracts IT services from IT resources
for small projects or infrequent peaks facilitating reuse & overflow pooling
Server sprawl with low server/resource Leverage dynamic allocation linked to a
utilization reservation system for higher utilization
Compliance, auditing, and security Standardize and reduce number of
patching costly configurations used
Don’t know what compute resources are Integrated, usage-based metering, billing
