Why the focus on Virtualization and the
DatacenterCloud-based Unified Communications
Services

• Reduced Capital Expenditure
• Centralization of equipment means greater economy
  of scale and better usage of resources
• Reduced Operational Costs
• Centralized management less remote staff /
  truck rolls
• Reduced hardware maintenance costs
• Increased Functionality
• Better integration between applications and
  network services
• Improved Availability
• Leveraging datacenter resources to improve
  service uptime

Server Consolidation
Servers represent 11 of data center costs

• Centralized Architecture Benefits
• Lowered maintenance and support costs
• Simplified configuration and administration
• Smaller hardware footprint supports real estate
  efficiency

Remove Hardware Remove Cost Remove Maintenance
4
Energy Costs
Energy is the fastest rising data center cost

• Centralized Architecture Benefits
• Reduce energy consumption through server
  consolidation
• Power and dissipate heat from fewer servers
• Removing a single server will save 410 per year
  in energy costs

Consolidated Trunking
Networking represents 10 of the data center
budget

• Centralized Architecture Benefits
• Consolidate voice traffic into many fewer trunks
• Lower trunking costs
• Eliminate the need for trunking gateways/cards at
  every site

Save on Facilities Charges
