IT as a Business

Analyst report by 451 Research, published on 8/21/2012

The notion of treating IT like a business now stands a fighting chance. Virtualization and cloud computing have paved the way for the delivery of IT as a service. New vendors and technologies seek to show what it costs to run an application in a public cloud environment vs. in an internal environment, what cost savings can be gleaned by virtualizing physical servers and how those virtual or cloud resources can then be assigned or 'Charged back' to the business applications they support. Correlating these metrics with performance and capacity management information can show the cost of delivering a desired service level with cloud or virtualized resources. The result? Enterprises can rein in costs and gain a better idea of IT's value to the business units it supports.
