  2. Agenda • IT and Business requirements • Meeting The Next Generation Requirement Challenges • A Case Study

  3. Today’s Data Center Realities • Most infrastructure components underutilized • Pervasive overprovisioning for peak service requirements • Domain-based infrastructure support groups and operations • Few common tools and procedures/processes • Inconsistent service-level management and communications • Most business users do not understand their service levels • Incomplete information on equipment counts, status, and ownership • Weak infrastructure costing models and processes • Inconsistent services and solutions with limited infrastructure leverage • Adherence to Security Compliance Most data center environments are still struggling with unmanaged complexity, few standards, etc., leading to optimising opportunities

  4. Aligning IT to business goals – Maturity of IT Operations 13% Level 4 33% • Value • IT & business metric linkage • II improves business process • Real-time infrastructure • Business planning Level 3 54% of Customer Level 2 • Service • Define services, classes, pricing • Understand costs • Set quality goal • Guarantee service level agreements • Monitor & report on services • Capacity planning Level 1 • Proactive • Monitor performance • Analyze trends • Set thresholds • Predict problems • Automation • Mature problem, asset and change management process Level 0 • Reactive • Best efforts • Fight fires • Inventory • Initiate problem management process • Alert and event management • Monitor availability (up or down) • Chaotic • Ad hoc • Undocumented • Unpredictable • Multiple help desks • Minimal IT operations • User call notification Source: Gartner Research (April 2004)

  5. Business Requirements Driving IT • How do I optimize TCO on the tools investment I have already done? • How can I consolidate different sets of tools, people and process for network management, server monitoring and databases administration? • How can I reduce time and effort to integrate and manage the disparate IT of our newly acquired business with our existing IT? • How can I optimize availability of expert resources to provide support for the few critical heterogeneous systems during non-prime time? • How can I reduce time and effort to migrate and manage new IT environments? • How do I ensure that the system administrators do notmaliciouslytamper with the server? • How can I ensure that database administrators do not accidentally shut down the production database instead of development database? • How can I easily get the audit trial for all change management to report security (SOX) compliance? • Which are the business processes affected if my network NJZ014 goes down? • How do I get live update on the impact of IT availability on business before my CEO asks me?

  6. Addressing Challenges

  7. Optimizing existing tools and integrating new tools Tool agnostic process: Process is protected from the tool used for monitoring. It means the capability to solve the problem of global integration / M&A situations. Skill optimization & new technology assimilation Virtualization of IT operations: Level-1 engineers do not have to re-learn commands if infrastructure changes. For e.g. if all Lotus Notes environment changed to Microsoft Exchange. Mitigating malicious attacks and avoiding human errors Enhanced security: It is a very new idea not to let even System Administrators have System Administrator passwords. Instead, they are given one time access to the "sick" device. What it also means is that we completely avoid any one inadvertently touching healthy devices. Addressing customer concerns throughThe next generation managed services (1 of 2)

  8. Linking business impact to IT availability Business impact reporting: This is the holy grail of enterprise management. To be able to report which businesses / geographies are impacted because of a infrastructure problem. Always available MIS Live online reporting: Provides 24x7 live update for open incidents and provides for online analyze of current statistics and historic data.
