The cloud is emerging.

Cloud computing is not so much a definition of a single term but a trend in Service

Delivery.

CEO = Growth Opportunity

CIO = IT impacts business value

IT Director = Effective IT Utilisation

Enabled by a set of new technologies where Services and data reside in shared, dynamically scalable resource pools

Why is a new Service Delivery Model is Needed ?

Xeon 5600 5 Month Single Core Refresh ROI Claim – Back Up

5 month ROI claim estimated based on comparison between 2S Single Core Intel® Xeon® 3.80 with 2M L2 Cache and 2S Intel® Xeon® X5680 based servers. Calculation includes analysis based on performance, power, cooling, electricity rates, operating system annual license costs and estimated server costs. This assumes 8kW racks, $0.10 per kWh, cooling costs are 2x the server power consumption costs, operating system license cost of $900/year per server, per server cost of $7200 based on estimated list prices and estimated server utilization rates. All dollar figures are approximate. Performance and power comparisons are based on measured server side java benchmark results (Intel Corporation Feb 2010). Platform power was measured during the steady state window of the benchmark run and at idle. Performance gain compared to baseline was 15x.

Performance tests and ratings are measured using specific computer systems and/or components and reflect the approximate performance of Intel products as measured by those tests. Any difference in system hardware or software design or configuration may affect actual performance. Buyers should consult other sources of information to evaluate the performance of systems or components they are considering purchasing.
