Overview In today's market efficiency, effectiveness and the integration of the IT service with the business process are all top of mind with technology leaders. As organizations wrestle with how to better align IT with their business and drive economies of scale into their IT environments, increasingly utility computing is an option to consider. As the concept of a pool of resources develops, technologies like multicore and 64-bit computing in the x86 space are helping to mature the utility environment, expand the pool of potential applications and dissolve even more barriers in today's compartmentalized IT environments.
