Today, IT infrastructure organizations are working diligently to solve the problems created by the explosion in the scope and complexity of IT platforms adopted from the last decade. The migration of application architectures to thin-client multi-tier architectures, the introduction of the multiple generations of Windows servers have swept across IT organizations in successive waves over the last ten years. These waves caused explosive growth in server counts, network complexity and storage volumes through geographically distributed IT organizations.

The list of challenges is daunting, but IT has started to regain the upper hand in the battle against costly, inflexible and disorderly infrastructure. As a first step, IT organizations have generally centralized their IT infrastructure into fewer locations for better visibility. As a second step, they are adopting a new generation of infrastructure technologies and methodologies. The common vision of IT organizations today is to provide their business units with lower cost, higher service-level infrastructure that enables them to respond faster to business until demands.
