The Data Centre of the Future Will Grow Increasingly Diverse

Maximising benefits will involve spreading workloads across a Application Inventory “Virtual Data Center” footprint, judiciously utilising dedicated Migration Strategy Cloud Dedicated assets, private cloud, and public cloud capabilities.

Intelligent Application Placing application workloads on the optimal Alignment Applications infrastructure to maximise benefits, yet manage risks due to security, compliance, or availability.

Building out the mission critical private and Infrastructure public cloud infrastructure to broker the right mix of “controlled” infrastructure options in the Service Brokering VDC.

Ensuring that all VDC assets retain the security, manageability, serviceability, reliability, and Management recoverability attributes required by the enterprise. Unified Service Management

Leveraging new disruptive cloud technologies provides an opportunity to further optimise cost, speed/ agility, and service quality to increase enterprise value.

Technology Shifts… Creating New Forms of Business Value …

Infrastructural shift to Cloud Computing • Cloud Computing transforms the economics of IT enabling cost reduction and increased agility

Mobile Computing and new end-points Shift to mobility as • the “new desktop” (Wearables, Internet of Things) expand the edge of the enterprise

• Social Computing enables connection to a new Collaborative shift to social computing generation and improves collaboration • Big Data enables opportunities for real-time Informational shift to decision making and competitive advantage unstructured data and real time analytics • Cybersecurity models must adapt to protect sensitive data wherever it resides

The Cyber security perimeter is no longer defendable

Applications on Dedicated Server Technology • Database Applications • High I/O Solutions

• In-memory Databases (i.e. SAP HANA) • High Performance Systems • Secure and Isolated Applications • UNIX Applications

Reduce the complexity of infrastructure • Improve infrastructure utilization as propriety Unix apps can be moved Linux. E.G SAP, PeopleSoft, Oracle Financial and home grown Apps. • Reducing costs of managing firewalls • Reduce network traffic, improved security, drastically reduce latency and improve performance • Limit firewalls to the edges • Improve datacentre network 4 times faster as any network operating today • Each operating instance does not need cable to a switch • Reduce the number of separate networks and subnets

Improve Operating Budget and Cash flow, while improving services • Waterfall out equipment seamlessly as CAPEX is available • Reduction in switching costs for data and communication Infrastructure • Reduced costs through migration of Propriety Unix apps to Linux. Such as SAP, PeopleSoft, Oracle Financial and home grown Apps. • In a future Forward! release - purchase storage incrementally with servers and NEVER pay a big CAPEX to achieve this. • Use common infrastructure for all work by simply deploying in a manner the business requires.

Improve Deployment Strategy & Agility

• Move Applications to the cloud permanently/temporarily

• Consolidate departments IT use & know exactly what resources are allocated restricting views to their own services

• Set secure test/development that won’t impact production and tear it down no infrastructure cost.

• Run existing virtualized environment and still take advantage of the Fabric Life Style

• In addition provide flexible container sizes to safely allow applications to expand and contract with workload.

Introduce New Services

• Big Data extremely suited

• GreenPlum

• Hadoop Package

• SAP Hana

• Discrete x86 Appliances can share the infrastructure, avoid expense of Proprietary Unix
