IT Optimization is comprised of four distinct yet integrated functions within an organization's IT infrastructure.
First, businesses can utilize physical server consolidation to reduce the number of servers that are managed and maintained in their environment.
Along with the physical server consolidation, many organizations also utilize some form of storage consolidation in their IT environment.
Maintaining rising costs for power, heating and cooling, and physical building construction costs are another key factor in IT Optimization that organizations need to consider. Locating geographically diverse data centers around the world may make sense from disaster recovery and business continuity aspects, but organizations also need to understand the total costs involved and then determine whether data center consolidation of their various IT assets can help reduce those costs.
Finally, in order to support the various lines of business within larger organizations, application consolidation must be done in order to contain the spiraling software and maintenance costs for supporting these lines of business. Determining the number of operating systems, the number of database instances, and other higher level application offerings can be a major cost to any IT operation's budget.
