IT CONSTRAINTS ON GROWTH
Data Proliferation & Server Sprawl
Corporate data growing 50X in next three years
Servers growing 4X next 10 years
Power & Cooling
For every $1 spent on server HW, 50 cents spent
on power/cooling
Operating Cost
$8 in maintenance for every
$1 spent on new infrastructure
Space Crunch
Datacenter construction costs
>$1,000/sq ft

Dell offers savings up to 41%
over performance equivalent
blade configurations from HP
and IBM in acquisition costs
and one-, three-, and five-year
TCO.*
* Based on Principled Technologies report “Total cost of ownership (TCO) of Dell, HP, and IBM blade solutions” commissioned by Dell in
September 2008. TCO includes hardware, support, management software, IO virtualization, power, cooling, network ports, and data center
space.
