Why hardware is more than horsepower: The importance of server supportability, lifecycle management, roadmapping, licensing, pricing and more. Keeping physical servers current: Methodically retiring legacy infrastructure to take advantage of new hypervisor and OS capabilities, gain higher RAM density, and more. Refining cloud service cost models: IT becomes a stronger strategic partner by thoroughly assessing cloud service cost models and advertising their value.
