Current Challenges Asset Management and Utilization Demand Forecasting and Capacity Planning IT Workforce Transformation
Asset Management & Utilization • Be Cognizant of Performance Saturation • As asset utilization increases, service performance risks constraints, availability and SLA can be risked • Understand Degrees of Utilization • Customer Allocation view is different from customer usage • Our goal is 80% effective asset utilization • An Integrated Management View is Critical • The performance bottleneck may not be where you think • Requires improved metric visibility across all resources

Capacity Planning is Shifting to Demand Forecasting Old Way: Built to Order. Customer asked for infrastructure, we reviewed, approved, ordered, deployed, tested, then delivered New Way: On Demand Self-Service requires having capacity available anticipating demand and consumption Time to service =3 hours (soon to be minutes) Time to service =3 months Challenge: Quicker Provisioning Requires Better Visibility into Future Demand
IaaS Demand Forecasting at Intel • Supplying Standard Configurations • Accelerates ability to add new capacity • Creating Safety Stock Inventory • Enables immediate provisioning • Predicting Demand & Consumption • Planned IT physical to virtual migrations • Run rate consumption through on-demand portal • User forecasts through an new business process Apply Supply Chain Concepts to Manage Capacity
