Business Drivers for IT Optimization

PACE OF BUSINESSIncreasing expectations

from customers and

partners to provide

answers sooner

INNOVATIONCompanies are under

pressure to bring

products and services

to market faster

GLOBALIZATIONCustomers, supply chain,

and competition have all

become global

REDUCE COSTSRelentless pressures

to drive additional

efficiencies…do more

with less

Business is Changing & Evolving Rapidly


Creating the Architecture Vision for IT Optimization

How do we accomplish IT Portfolio

Rationalization?

Inventory

Map

Analyze

Step 1 - Build inventory of existing applications / technology

Step 2 - Map inventory to business / IT capabilities

Step 3 – Analyze the portfolio against evaluation criteria(Portfolio Scoring)

TransformStep 4 – Propose the appropriate actions to transform the “Current State” into the desired “Future State”

It’s an Iterative Process!


Inventory Applications & Technology

• Build an inventory of existing

applications and technology

• Capture key attributes:

– Business Owner, Department,

Location

– Number of Users / CPUs

– Custom, COTS, etc…

• Determine evaluation criteria:

– Strategic Value

– Functional / Technical Fit

– Conformance to Architecture

Principles & Standards

– Risk

– Total Cost of Ownership

Virtualization and Consolidation Across

Technology Layers

• Virtualization is key for IT to

meet business needs for

• Performance, Availability and Agility

• It must be built into each layer

• Two models for virtualization

• Business needs will drive

optimal use of virtualization

• Easily adjustable as

requirements change

• Data compression tuned for OLTP, Warehousing and Archival data

• Infiniband networking to support massive data transfers

Resource Sharing• ASM (Automatic Storage Management) shares Exadata storage

across all databases

• RAC (Real Application Clusters) shares large DBs across many nodes

• IORM (I/O Resource Management) allocates I/O bandwidth based on database or application priorities

• Instance Caging shares CPU for multiple databases within a node

NIST Definition of Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.

This cloud model promotes availability and is composed of:

3 Service Models

• SaaS

• PaaS

• IaaS

4 Deployment Models

• Public Cloud

• Private Cloud

• Community Cloud

• Hybrid Cloud

5 Essential Characteristics

• On-demand self-service

• Resource pooling

• Rapid elasticity

• Measured service

• Broad network access

Cloud Computing Impacts All Layers of

Architecture

• Identity and Access Management

• Metering and Chargeback - How to recoup your investment?

• Change Management and Control - How to align the competing needs of consumers and suppliers of services?

Business

• Service Provisioning

• How to automate and streamline the creation and deployment of application platform stack?

• How do you ensure tenant isolation and protect information?

Application

• Monitoring and Reporting - How to gain understanding what is happening inside the cloud?Information

• Dynamic Scaling - How do you enable capacity scale-up / scale-down?

• Unified Develop, Test and Deploy experienceTechnology
