  1. Geoffrey Brown Director, GRID Technologies Advanced Technology Solutions Oracle Corporation

  2. Mainframe Departmental Servers Client-Server Internet Computing Evolution of IT

  3. “Today’s IT shops are criminally inefficient, running assets at a small fraction of their capacity.” Frank E. Gillett Forrester Research, October 2002

  4. “CIO’s report that server utilization is only 60%” - Forrester Research “75% of costs come from staffing & maintenance.” - Business Week “IT infrastructure is massively underutilized” - IDC “Companies can save 20% or more through consolidation” - Giga Research The Experts on IT Today…

  5. Problems with IT • Islands of computation • Configured for peak loads • Limited scalability • Availability < 99.x% • Fragmented security • Escalating costs • Affects all businesses

  6. Growing Grid Momentum

  7. Grid Computing Defined Coordinated use of many small servers acting as one large computer.

  8. The Time is Right • Unprecedented pressure to lower costs • Inexpensive, commodity blade servers • Inexpensive OS optimized for 1-4 CPUs • Storage no longer tied to a single server: - NAS and SANs • Fast interconnect technologies

  9. Grid Control Storage Databases Application Servers Oracle Grid Computing

  10. Expensive costly components High incremental costs Single point of failure Enterprise service at high cost Low cost modular components Low incremental costs No single point of failure Enterprise service at low cost Reducing IT Costs Oracle Grid Large Dedicated Server

  11. Using grid computing …

  12. Applications require no change

  13. What Grid Computing Means to… • CEO’s • Lowers cost • Pay as you go • IT Executives • Higher availability • Better quality of service • IT Staff • More automation & greater productivity • Fewer worries

  14. For Developers & ISV’s… • No code changes required • Better application management • Automated processes • Self tuning database • Access to common services • e.g. Identity management • Lower cost of computing

  15. Continuation of Oracle’s Strategy • Steady march toward software as a service • Key innovations • Outsourcing, Consolidation • Unbreakable Linux • RAC, Commodity Servers • All designed to lower computing cost
