☛ Are we effectively measuring power utilization in our data center(s) today?

☛ What's our overall efficiency rating (PUE, DCIE, and CADE), and how does that compare to the industry norm?

☛ Are we able to accurately determine which equipment is being utilized the least and/or is the least efficient?

☛ Can we determine energy consumption by application, transaction, or department, and does it make sense to allocate those costs accordingly?

☛ How much is this year's technology refresh cycle expected to improve overall data center efficiency and capacity?

☛ What gains did we realize (or do we expect to realize) from consolidation and virtualization of server and storage resources?

☛ Can we optimize those gains with "what-if" analyses of all available options or through other measures?

☛ Where are we most likely to experience a serious limitation, and are we at risk of having a data center exceed its available capacity?

☛ How can we minimize energy consumption (and costs) in our data center(s)?

☛ What will be the return on investment for improving overall efficiency in our data center(s)?
