Japanese translation:整理統合へのイニシアティブ

Explanation:
Designed ~initiativesが箇条書きのひとつの項目となっていて
動詞leverage(利用する、てこ入れする)の目的語はふたつ、つまり、data centerとservice consolidation initiativesだと思います。
service consolidation initiativesとは何かというと、たぶんserviceをconsolidateせんとするinitiative（先導、先駆け、主導権）の複数形です。
initiativeは以下の辞書ではそのままカタカナにするのもあり、とあります。
http://dic.yahoo.co.jp/dsearch?enc=UTF-8&p=initiative&stype=...
ちなみに
http://eng.alc.co.jp/newsbiz/hinata/2009/12/post_632.html
に"future product initiatives"が「将来に向けての製品構想」と訳されています。
initiativeが、主導権を握っている個人や団体、あるいはそこに配分される予算などのリソースを漠然と指すケースが多そうです。

まとめると、この箇条書きの項目の意味は、
「（既存の）データセンタを活用し、且つ、（未だなされていない）サービスの整理統合へのイニシアティブにてこ入れをするよう設計されている」
というような意味だと思われ、上のような訳を考えました。
