  1. Evolution to the next-generation data center Thomas Goepel, HP Adaptive Infrastructure Strategy,Technology Solutions Group, Hewlett-Packard

  2. HP understands We’re in the new world of business technology, where IT results are measured in business outcomes

  3. FinancialServices Communications Media & Entertainment Manufacturing & Distribution Public Sector Health & Life Sciences Business Information Optimization Business Technology Optimization Adaptive Infrastructure Servers & storage Services Software Business Technology portfolio Technology for better business outcomes Provide good information to enable better business decisions Lower risk to the enterprise with better control of the infrastructure Reduce the cost of IT while delivering more to the business

  4. Data center challenges Rapidly respond to business and customer needs Struggle to meet service level agreements for critical workloads Can’t implement new projects fast enough Need agility to respond to changing business needs Reduce costs of operations and maintenance Too many applications, too much customization Underutilized servers Escalating power and cooling costs Enhance quality of service to enable business success Need to ensure business continuity Protect critical resource and data assets Meet Compliance requirements IT budget allocation Innovation 10% Migration & Upgrades 25% 65% Operations –Maintenance & mgmt. Not enough investment in innovation; too much in maintaining legacy infrastructure Shift resources from maintenance to innovation 5

  5. Governance Technology Manageability Organization Building the roadmap to a next-generation data center Based on current IT environment and business priorities Specific IT domain areas that drive maturity Stages of Maturity Adaptive, Shared Infrastructure Service Oriented Optimized Standardized Compartmentalized

  6. HP Adaptive Infrastructure drives better business outcomes

  7. Adaptive Infrastructure Delivering on the next-generation data center trend • Lower cost of IT operations • Higher quality of service with lower risk • Speedin introducing IT change for business flexibility “24x7 lights-out computing environment, based on standard building blocks, automated using modular software, delivered through comprehensive services.” Business IT Services Data Center

  8. Adaptive Infrastructure Delivering the next generation data center Business outcomes Lower the cost of IT operations, provide higher quality of service, and increase speed in introducing IT change Future state Current state Low-cost pooled IT assets High-cost IT islands Turn IT into a service provider 24x7 lights-out computing environment, based on standard building blocks, automated using modular software, delivered through comprehensive services. 9

  9. Adaptive Infrastructure IT becomes a service provider • Built-on standard, pre-set configurations of shared IT building blocks. • Delivering standard IT services to the business users. • Managed through automated IT processes. • Built-in business continuity and availability.

  20. Hewlett-Packard IT IT shared services for speed of implementation and lower costs IT improvements • Shared test & development utility applications • 4 ProLiant servers partitioned into 100 virtual machines • Self-service reservation portal • Automation for (virtual) server allocation, configuration and software provisioning • Too many underutilized test & development servers (100 servers) • High cost to maintain environment • High support contract costs • Easy to use web portal for test & development setup requests • Rapid setup of requested test & development setup Business benefits • Value – cost savings: • Hardware & software 75% • Annual support and data center space 90% • System management costs reduced by 60%

  21. Challenge Solution Results • Managing an unknown number of servers (400-800) distributed throughout the organization • Improve IT services and reduce total cost of ownership • Provide a “utility-like” source of computing capability • Simplify purchasing and maintenance • Create a disaster tolerant environment • Hardware • An initial 15 DL585 • HP StorageWorks storage area network (SAN): StorageWorks 4000, 8000 and 5000 EVA • Software • VMware (ESX server and Virtual Center with VMotion) • Microsoft Windows 2003 Redhat Enterprise Linux OS • HP SW Continuous Access • Oracle database products • HP Systems Insight Manager and Proliant Essentials Virtual Machine Manager • HP Services • Solution design • Implementation and support • Initial virtualized >75 servers, unused physical servers have been retired saving energy, mgmt and maintenance costs • Fully redundant and disaster tolerant config for all virtual machines • Virtualized server centrally managed using SIM and VMM • Rapid deployment of additional VM’s without capital or personnel outlay • Purchasing (hardware, software and maintenance) simplified Department of Energy (Los Alamos) NGDC Evolutionary path (Consolidation/SW/Mgt/Process…)

  22. WestGrid WestGrid counts on HP ProLiant DL145 servers for its latest number-crunching grid computing resource
