IT operations absorb a huge portion of nowadays typical IT budget, leaving very little for strategic or innovative initiatives. Enterprises clearly need to reduce the resources dedicated to routine tasks and redirect those resources to far more valuable projects that drive a high rate of return to the business.

They're putting too much money into hardware, software, and the resources to manage it. And there is too much underutilized server capacity. New servers dedicated to a single application are acquired because computing resources are locked into rigid silos.
