Shrinking State Data Centers: A Playbook for Enterprise Data Center Consolidation

This report provides an update since NASCIO’s last publication on data center consolidation in 2007. The brief looks at enterprise data center consolidation and optimization at the state level and shares 10 action items for states in the process of consolidating data centers or states who have yet to consolidate their data centers. The playbook draws upon lessons learned from states who have completed enterprise consolidation and provides statistics on a national scale from NASCIO's 2017 state CIO survey.
