BB2582 – Mapping out your journey to Converged Infrastructure Chris Coggrave /June 12, 2013


Challenges and questions Lots of challenges: • Rate of change is increasing

• New technologies, new IT delivery models

• Aging data centres and IT

• Increasing business demands

• Lack of alignment with the business

And even more questions: • What will happen in the future?

• How can we understand what is important ?

• How can we prepare for all this?

• What action should we take ?

IDC Survey – Business Value of Convergence Methodology

Survey to evaluate the business value increase that enterprises achieve as they advance their convergence maturity. • “Work”: Throughput the data center

pushes through - by assessing the network capacity to / from the data center.

• “Converged-ness”: The percentage of the data center resources that administrators can deploy from a pooled collection.

• “Cost”: Annual budget for equipment hardware, infrastructure software and IT infrastructure administration staff.

• Results are presented in three categories:

• IT labor costs per GB throughput – total data center throughput divided by the IT labor to manage all data center operations

• Mean time to deploy new services such as a new application

• Infrastructure and application availability

Technology & Architecture

Governance Culture & IT Staff Management Tools & Processes

Moving from dedicated hardware, software, database, network and infrastructure applications to more cost-effective pooled, shared, and automated resources

Addresses resources used to plan, manage and improve infrastructure service delivery from project-based tools and information to standard, integrated tools / processes and information collection for end-to-end management aligned to the business

Addresses the IT organizational structure, roles, responsibilities, work environment, etc. to move from technology-oriented to a more service-oriented, business centric environment

Moving IT as a cost center (constrained to annual allocated budget) to an IT governance model that provides real time alignment of supply and demand with a consumption-based funding model


Definitions

CI-CM Stages of capability

• Automatic management and reallocation of infrastructure based on business process needs • IT becomes a trusted business innovation partner

• Hybrid Delivery - Infrastructure is offered as a combination of public and private cloud environments Flow management tooling allows the customer to combine multiple sources for IT capability into one integrated usage of IT resources

• Service Enabled - Infrastructure offered as a service, with tiered service levels, supported by service centric integrated IT processes

• Standardized - Standard technologies and architectures, standard management tools and processes, technology-based with Rationalized technologies and architecture, rationalized management tools and processes, with cross functional IT infrastructure expert teams

• Silo - Project-based decisions and dedicated infrastructure, Ad Hoc management tools and processes, technology-based IT organization, cost center managed to budget. This delivery model can be found in most of IT organizations. It’s the traditional IT delivery model

Maximizing the Investment to Convergence Sale-Leaseback – from fixed to

flexible assets

• Immediate cash infusion -> direct access to capital

• Retain use and benefit of equipment (predictable refresh cycle)

Buyback & Takeout – retire legacy systems

• Maximize end-of-life value of assets -> remarket before recycle (HP & non-HP)

• Disposition of current assets in compliance with industry standards (data privacy &security)

Refresh Structure – IT lifecycle management

• Ability to easily scale infrastructure up or down based on business needs

• Optimize future technology updates (avoid asset lock-in)

Flexible Investment – customized solutions

• Move away from a costly asset ownership model (shift from Capex to Opex) – lower TCO higher ROI

• Pre-owned and rental systems may help reduce transition costs
