ABSTRACT:
It is argued that the largest cost driver is shown to be unnecessary, unabsorbed costs resulting from the over-sizing of the infrastructure. Most attempts to quantify TCO end up expressing TCO per data center, per square foot of data center, or per kW of data center.
These metrics are not useful when considering the useful work performed -- and are unhelpful to IT staff in determining project ROI. They don't help an individual attempting to determine the TCO associated with the deployment of a new IT application in an existing data center or network room environment.
This paper details an improved method for measuring TCO in data center and network room physical infrastructure and how these costs relate to the overall IT infrastructure.
