Top 4 Survey Findings
Source: State of SMB IT 1H 2013, Spiceworks Voice-of-IT
1. Budgets & Spending : IT budgets have
seen a dramatic boost in all but the
largest SMBs.
2. Cloud: Cloud-based and hosted IT
services have found a home in SMB.
3. Virtualization: Server virtualization has
reached new heights.
4. Mobile: Tablets are a quickly gaining
ground in SMB networks and budgets.

Primary Objectives for SMBs
Protect the business
• Business continuity
• Security
Keep IT simple
• SMBs need IT that
just works
Do more with less
• With limited resources,
and tight budgets

What is Virtualization? Quick Overview
An application (Hypervisor)
that sits on top of resources
and storage that will be
pooled (shared) to maximize
efficiency and save space.
There are 3 main types of
virtualization.
• Server
• Desktop
• Storage

Physical World
1:1 relationship between applications and hardware
Relevant cost metric = cost per server
1 :1
Traditional x86 Architecture
• Legacy rule: Run only one application per server because single application crashes resulting in OS or server failure
• Typical hardware utilization below 8%
Many:1 relationship between applications and hardware
Relevant cost metric = cost per application
Virtual World
Many :1
Virtualization:
• New rule: Run multiple applications per server because OS/applications are isolated from one another
• Typical hardware utilization 80%
How does Virtualization Solve My Problems?

Virtualization saves money, energy, and space while
adding efficiencies.
But is it right for you?
Money: Reducing the number of servers you have to run,
means savings on hardware costs and energy needed to
run hardware and provide cooling.
Energy: Green technology preserving Earth’s Resources
How does Virtualization Solve My Problems?
IT Solutions & Services 1.800.364.9485
Efficiency from IT: System administrators move toward a
proactive approach being able to engage in more strategic
administration tasks. Including facilitating delivery of
software products preinstalled in virtual machines.
Efficiency from hardware: Virtualization enables higher
utilization rates of hardware because each server supports
enough virtual machines to increase its utilization from the
typical 15% to as much as 80%.

Virtualization
An increasingly global and mobile workforce
• More than one-third of the world’s workforce will be mobile
by 2013 1
The Burden of Managing Distributed Desktops
• IT client-side support is 80% of the annual $1298 client
cost per user 2
The Impact of Security and Compliance Breaches
• Average annual cost per enterprise of stolen laptops $6.4
million 3 & 1 in 10 laptops is stolen; average cost per
stolen laptop is $50,000 3
End of life for Windows XP: 4/2014
• Migration planning should begin NOW!

TCO Savings by Category
IT Solutions & Services 1.800.364.9485
Category Savings Rationale
Install/replace/ update/move (“IMAC”) 90% Thin Client (TC) at user desk; simple upgrades, rarely breaks, little need to move
Break/fix support 90% Desk side: TCs rarely break
Systems management 70% Radical image standardization and greatly simplified software (SW) deployment methodology
Power Consumption 70% TC has minimal power draw;
Help desk 50% Radical image standardization with minimal opportunity to change SW image, minimizes Help Desk calls
Training 40% Significant reduction due to simplified and radically standardized hardware and software
How-to support 40% Significant reduction due to simplified and radically standardized hardware and software
General operations 10% Due to ease of procuring and managing the centralized assets (i.e., blades).
TOTAL 70% Total % based on %s weighted by actual dollar amounts

1. Evaluate your current server workloads.
2. Define your system architecture.
3. Select your virtualization software and hosting
hardware.
4. Migrate your existing servers to the new virtualization
environment.
5. Administer your virtualized environment.
