10. Early movers: conservative, incremental approach • Fast followers: many looking at consolidation, virtualization, SOA at the same time A Two-Tier Approach to Architectural Change IT’s Top Project Priorities Through 2008 Consolidate IT Infrastructure Improve Data Security Virtualize Servers, Storage Adopt SOA Source: The Economist global survey, Jan./Feb. 2008

11. The Promise of SOA • Architects believe that SOA can help businesses respond more quickly and cost-effectively to changing market conditions • They’ve sold SOA to the business by suggesting that through exposing key business functions as reusable services SOA enables: • A more consistent approach to the implementation of business policies • (better) • Improved Resource Utilization (cheaper) • Improved Business Agility (faster) Source: http://www.army.mil/

12. Before VirtualizationAfter Virtualization The Promise of Virtualization • Architects believe that virtualization can help businesses to get more value not only from hardware and software infrastructure but also from the labor required to keep your systems up and running • In justifying requests for funding they tout: • Higher efficiency – power, cooling, real estate (cheaper) • Improved resilience – disaster recovery (better) • Increased agility – rapid provisioning (faster) Source: http://www.vmware.com/

13. Virtualization Impacts the Data CenterTechnology, People and Process Infrastructure • Virtual Machine the new ‘Atomic Unit’ • Higher Density CPUs, More I/O • Asset Consolidation Applications • Dynamic Movement of VMs / Applications • Remote/Mobile Access to Centralized Assets • Greater Emphasis on Security, Trust Operations • Requires Continuous Availability/Provisioning • Reduces Visibility into ‘Hidden’ Resources • Breaks Current Organizational Model
