Unisys and Technology • Unisys – a leader in IT technology for more than 60 years • Focused in three critical areas – Cost containment/cost reduction – Security – Mission-critical computing • Through three major technology initiatives – Data center transformation and Cloud computing – Stealth – Clear. Path renewal • How can we help you with your critical IT issues? © 2010 Unisys Corporation. All rights reserved. Page 2
Data Center Transformation/Cloud • Commodity servers and software were the answer to IT productivity and costs – Except… server sprawl and underutilization ate the IT budget – 80% of typical IT budget goes to operations and maintenance • So, virtualization is the answer to server sprawl and thus to IT productivity and costs – Except… the number of managed objects and environments, and overall complexity, actually increases – Reduction in physical servers is insufficient • What’s required is effective automation – allowing management of policies and not systems © 2010 Unisys Corporation.
