"At the end of the day it’s about capital utilisation and most servers use only 5-15% of their maximum capacity"

Dr Jonathan Koomey - Consulting Professor, Stanford University

A huge amount of IT capacity and performance is locked away, unavailable for one simple reason: infrastructure components – servers, networks, operating systems, desktops – are not configured to work together optimally. At the same time, organisations are delivering business-critical applications across the enterprise to an increasingly distributed workforce. Budget cuts and strategic initiatives are driving IT to centralize the data center. Virtualisation, VoIP, collaboration and bloated applications are devouring bandwidth. Users are remote, data is centralized, bandwidth is jammed, and server demand is increasing exponentially. Infrastructure performance isn't keeping up with demand.

While IT can't erase the business need that created these challenges, it can maximise performance of the existing infrastructure. Best-in-class companies are attacking the problem with application delivery optimisation solutions. Optimisation delivers order-of-magnitude performance improvements with superior cost/benefit. It has become a strategic necessity to support the enterprise.
