Total Cost of Ownership for Intel® Itanium® 2-Based Systems
Overview According to the Standish Group, enterprises collectively spend over one trillion dollars per year on information technology (IT). As competitive pressures mount, companies seeking to increase the value of their IT investments have begun moving beyond straight-line comparisons of hardware costs to a more realistic examination of the full range of costs associated with operating a server. Analyses reveal that the factors that influence the costs of operation are frequently much more complex than hardware cost alone, consisting of a combination of tangible and intangi-ble factors, all of which contribute to the total cost of ownership (TCO). TCO comparisons provide a real-world gauge to more accurately determine anticipated expenses associated with specific server platforms.
