Enterprises can reduce their server, storage, and workstation costs by buying equipment which meets the enterprise's typical performance requirements. Pay a premium for high performance only when it is really necessary.

Most enterprises are working their way through a series of initiatives to reduce computer equipment and support costs. Approaches such as server centralization and virtualization, implementation of storage hierarchies, and thin-client deployment can generate substantial savings. These approaches require investment in people and equipment.
