Benefits of a Dynamic IT Infrastructure

The 70%/30% split is the figure of how typical companies spend their IT budget – the 70% represents the cost of IT infrastructure maintenance. The ultimate goal of IT operations is to maintain an optimal environment for minimal costs, freeing up dollars for innovation. Reducing that maintenance cost is the goal and System Center solutions are designed to help you do just that. One way to measure your organizations capability is to look at the Infrastructure Optimization model. Here’s a link to the site with some whitepapers which show relationship between costs and achieving best practices or moving from a ‘basic’ to a ‘dynamic’ infrastructure http://www.microsoft.com/technet/infrastructure/default.mspx As to the 70/30 scenario, check out the keynote from last years MMS. http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/events/mgmtsummit/material.mspx
