Determining Total Cost of Ownership for Data Center and Network Room Infrastructure

Overview This paper will show that when TCO is viewed from the point of view of the useful work performed, the single largest cost driver of TCO for data center and network room physical infrastructure is the unabsorbed overhead cost of underutilized infrastructure. The highest return investment that the average data center operator or specifier can make in relation to physical infrastructure is in rightsizing. The practical and feasible financial return from a rightsizing strategy is quantified.
