Existing infrastructure unable to meet application/service demands

People, processes and

technologies cannot

support

growing/variable

business needs

IT & business users cannot easily

obtain resources

Multiple, overlapping

resource models

Manual configuration & deployment takes multiple teams over weeks & months

Slow, inflexible infrastructure

IT teams unable to keep up

Takes too long to deploy workloads

& apps

Users must request

resources through IT,

then wait for a response

Mix of physical, virtual

and cloud models

leading to mixed

performance & service

levels

Key takeaway: We must work to transform application & service delivery
