What do you think is the biggest challenge facing IT departments today?

Computation, analysis, storage and communication are using exponentially increasing numbers of components in order to provide timely results and the interaction of components is increasing complexity in unexpected ways The widening gap between achievable (sustained) performance and the theoretical (peak) performance across all technologies and fields of use The convergence of computational simulation with observational data collection and analysis in complex workflows The increasing diversity of methods and domains that require and/or benefit from improved time to solution The shifting balance between one-time and on-going costs, be it in energy, productivity, storage or other areas
