When your mission critical enterprise applications are down for a day, you lose the productivity of your entire organization. Imagine the impact when those applications ARE your business: loss of revenue, loss of credibility, penalties, loss of opportunity, the list goes on and on.

Considering the complexity and dynamic nature of today’s enterprise servers and networks, it can be quite a challenge to achieve the high levels of service users require and demand. IT professionals are under considerable pressure to ensure that required IT service levels are delivered to users.

In the past it was enough to do the best you could running your applications. Now you have to live up to a commitment, a contract, in other words a Service Level Agreement (SLA). It’s no longer just a promise, you guarantee it.

Most IT operations are the object of outsourced options (utility computing, Application Service Providers ASPs, web services, and virtual enterprises), more and more customers are entrusting elements of their IT infrastructure to external entities—possibly you. Their expectations are high, and they should be. Are you ready to deliver? Merlin’s Enterprise Infrastructure Management process can help you get there.
