Short clip: How virtualization saves big bucks
Qualcomm CIO Norm Fjeldheim explains how virtualization has saved his company about $15 million over three years.
>>
Speaker: In terms of your infrastructure, many companies and CIOs that I talk to are very -- been focused over the last few years on consolidation, on virtualization, on really getting their data centers so that they are much more efficient. How are you doing on that track?
>>
Speaker: We've been focused on consolidation for quite a while, and we went early on to virtualization. Our data center now is about 60 percent virtual, 65 percent, so --
>>
Speaker: And what kind of utilization are you getting on server storage?
>>
Speaker: We went from about 30 percent virtualization in storage to about 80 percent these days, so we went from almost all direct attached to, now, nearly everything is sand or network attach storage. On the CPU-side, we went -- probably tripled the utilization on our server side. You know, it's been a phenomenal technology. We estimate at least 15 million in savings over the last three years: hardware, power, cooling, all those things, you know, data center floor space savings, by not having to deploy as many pieces of hardware. In some cases, we're running 18 to 1 virtual servers on top of a single piece of hardware.
>>
Speaker: Wow.
>>
Speaker: Yeah. It's been a really successful program for us.
