  2. Agenda Why Citigroup ? Tipping points Where are we now ? Roadmap and Design Beyond HPC and Compute GRID Important Lessons OGF

  3. Why Citigroup ? • $21.2 billion net income and $1.5 trillion assets • Over $5 billion spent on technology and forecast growth to $9 billion by 2009 • 4 year programme to rollout GRID technologies OGF

  4. Tipping Points • Business • Increasingly complex derivatives. 100% growth in some segments in 6 months • Faster time to market for new products • Electronic trading in derivatives • Complexity and performance • Equity market evolution is the standard curve to watch • Regulatory focus on risk management and controls • Technology • Isolated compute islands of around 10,000 CPU’s globally • Server utilisation levels of <15% • Server estate growing >20% annually OGF

  5. Where are we now ? • 2005 “Just build it” • 1000 CPU’s for one application. • Regional build out. • No data grid. • 2007 and beyond “Take it to the enterprise” • Heterogeneous grid in production • Dynamic resource allocation • Data management • Regional expansions • 2004 “Getting off the ground” • Business sign off for the programme • Built programme team • 2006 “Moving on” • 2000 CPU’s for multiple applications. • Migration to Platform Symphony 3.0.1 • Homogenous grid OGF

  6. Roadmap and Design Move to shared resource environment in a controlled manner End State: all resources are shared with grid scheduling and policies ensuring SLA’s are met OGF

  8. Getting the Basics Right ! • Provisioning OS and applications • Security and containment for applications and users • GRID Application on-boarding • Usage based billing • GRID development and governance OGF

  9. Building the Team • Team structure & governance • Cross-organisation/multi-vendor governance group • Multi-discipline technical delivery team • Clarity of Objectives and timelines • Iterative review and buy-in of the business case • Develop and communicate a financial and a operating model • Don’t be scared this stuff is expensive ! So tell the customer OGF

  12. Beyond HPC/Compute GRID • OS, application and service virtualisation • Data/Data grid availability • Transaction processing systems and services • Autonomic/self healing computing • Improved MIS • Market place computing OGF

  13. Important Lessons for Everyone • Fitting in ! • Adding GRID into an existing infrastructure is painful ! • Ignore the people and emotional impacts of GRID at your peril ! • Governance • Operational aspects are as important as the architecture • Leverage expertise externally and internally to ensure delivery • Don’t let the operational consume you ! • Providing the resource generates the demand exponentially • Running a GRID takes you away from evolving. Innovating while operating is crucial OGF

  14. The Technology comes of Age • The technology is at the level to support our demanding environment • Impacts to long-term operational costs are compelling and realizable • Business can support the initial investment OGF

  15. Thank you OGF
