The infrastructure optimization model RZ Core I/O helps customers understand and subsequently
improve the current state of their IT infrastructure and what that means in terms
of cost, security, risk, and operational agility.
The core infrastructure optimization model helps customers understand and strive
for a more secure, well-managed, and dynamic core IT infrastructure that will help
enable them to reduce their overall IT costs, make better use of IT resources, and
make IT a strategic asset for the business. The key challenge in this area is to support IT professionals in the management of servers, desktops, mobile devices,
and applications and in achieving efficient resource usage to help customers eliminate
unnecessary cost and complexity, ensure that their business is always up and running,
and establish a responsive infrastructure.
Dramatic cost savings can be realized by moving from an unmanaged environment towards
a fully automated management and dynamic resource usage environment. Security also
improves from highly vulnerable in a basic infrastructure to dynamically proactive
in a more optimized infrastructure. IT infrastructure management changes from highly
manual and reactive to highly automated and proactive. As technologies can’t be
implemented without reviewing the current IT process, the model also provides recommendations
(Best Practices) on how processes can be integrated and improved to satisfy the
new IT infrastructure while the customer’s ability to use technology to improve
their business agility and deliver business value increases as they move from the
basic state up the continuum toward a dynamic state, empowering information workers
and managers and supporting new business opportunities.
By working with RedZone and using this model as a framework, an enterprise can quickly understand the strategic value and business benefits to the organization in moving
from a “basic” level of optimization, where the IT infrastructure is generally considered
a “cost center,” towards a more “dynamic” use, when the business value of the IT
infrastructure is clearly understood and the IT infrastructure is viewed as a strategic
business asset and business enabler.
