In today's technology-centric economy, where mission-critical applications and 24x7 system availability is mandatory, the data center is fast becoming the cornerstone of the enterprise. The rapid deployment of new technologies -- such as high density servers, combined with the ongoing trend towards data center consolidation and new construction -- are increasing the rate of change and complexity within enterprise data centers. IT Service Management frameworks, such as the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) and compliance requirements, including Sarbanes Oxley, further increase the demands of standardization and IT governance.

Ad-hoc processes, fragmented information sources and individual heroics, which were common practices in many organizations in the past, can no longer meet the challenges organizations currently face, leaving data center operations with a severe management gap.
