This is an excerpt
Executive Summary
A critical aspect of the consolidation and IT rationalization plans of large enterprises is support for remote offices. Many enterprises enter into data center consolidation programs only to realize that a substantial fraction of their IT resources and expenses is "outside the walls" in hundreds to thousands of remote offices of varying sizes and degrees of independence. Fortunately, the menu of technology options is improving, and corporations desiring to optimize their remote office operations along with their large data centers will be able to take advantage of a steady flow of new technology during the next several years. Companies that fail to do so will end up spending more for their remote branch offices than their peers and will not be able to respond as rapidly to business changes.
