Overview SOI is a response to the operational complexity, poor efficiency, and inefficient provisioning models of deploying multiple disparate n-tier infrastructures. The current fractured data center infrastructure model results in the typical Fortune 500 Company spending more than half of its IT budget on data centers. Costs of data center operations are expected to increase 70 percent over the next 10 years. The SOI approach allows IT organizations to reduce operations costs, increase resource usage, boost resilience, and improve agility in provisioning and scaling data center resources. An SOI achieves these objectives by delivering infrastructure as a service from a pool of shared or virtualized resources. Shared resources are aggregated, secured, and presented as services across a network fabric.
