02 B Dynamic Infrastructure 2010

Editor's Notes

• #3: Here we illustrated the differences in networking requirements between the workforce centers and the data centers. The workforce centers are on the left hand side of this slide and the data centers are on the right hand side. They are interconnected by the big global IP network in the middle. Lets see how over the last twenty years things have changed in both the workforce centers and the data centers. <KEEP CLICKING> As you click through the slide build. There are more locations in the workforce centers as the workforce has become more distributed over the years, while in the data centers they have consolidated to fewer but larger locations. People now work from home, mobile devices, hotel rooms, etc. The traffic patterns have remained relatively stable over the years in the workforce, but because network traffic has increased there is the need for traffic engineering to help deal with network congestion. In the data centers there are new traffic patterns. If you look at the traffic pattern requirements to support new applications like Facebook, they are different than those associated with the workforce traffic patterns. In the workforce there are new devices which are being used by people, like iPhones, Blackberries, laptops, security cameras, etc. are all connected to an enterprise network. In the data center the devices are primarily servers and storage devices. For security, on the workforce side this is usually maintained by authenticating a user access to get onto the network and to what degree the user has access to applications, etc. In the data center is security more granular by providing certain servers or applications to particular parts of the network or not. The mobility of users in the workforce has changed. Where users are no longer tied to an office to access information, but can be retrieved through handheld devices while traveling or on the golf course. In the data center applications move. An example of this would be PowerVM and how applications can move from server to server or from data center to data center without disrupting the operations of the business. The decisions the network infrastructure has to make in the workforce center is based on some key features and their applications like providing QoS to things like Voice over IP or Video conferencing. In the data centers decisions are not only based on application needs but also based on non-networking aspects like power and cooling and space factors.

• #6: Service Management: Service management solutions help you create and manage a more agile, business-oriented and dynamic infrastructure so you can rapidly respond to change and deliver higher quality services at a lower cost. Learn more about Service management Asset management : Hardware, software, and services from IBM help you maximize the performance and lifetime value of assets across your enterprise—production, facilities, transportation and IT—and closely align them with your overall business strategy. Virtualization & Consolidation : Virtualization and consolidation can reduce IT complexity to help your data center become more resilient and secure while reducing costs. The ability to deploy capacity and server images virtually increases speed of deployment roughly by a factor of 30 times. Information Infrastructure : IBM’s comprehensive approach to information infrastructure addresses compliance, availability, retention, and security requirements while helping businesses get the right information to the right person at the right time. Potential benefits include up to: 75% decrease in capital costs, 600% increase in input capacity, 300x improvement in throughput, 500x improvement in hardware price/performance ratio. Energy Efficiency : Energy efficiency solutions can help lower data center energy costs by up to 40% or more through facilities design, power and cooling infrastructure, active energy management, and efficient, scalable IBM systems. Security: IBM Security solutions deliver the full breadth and depth of capabilities that enable organizations to take a business-driven, holistic approach to security, compliance and risk management in alignment with an IT governance framework, supporting the secure delivery of services with speed and agility in the dynamic infrastructure. Business Resiliency: Business continuity and resiliency solutions keep your business running in the event of an internal or external risk, planned or unplanned, and allow your IT experts to devote more time to innovation. Less than 50% percent companies surveyed have disaster recovery and business continuity strategies in place, according to researchers at UK-based Chartered Management Institute. And among those who have planned for business continuity and resiliency, 75 percent report that efforts are likely to be “haphazard” and “untested.”
• #7: IBM’s integrated service and asset management platform provides the visibility, control & automation needed to deliver a dynamic infrastructure, helping you address these common challenge: How do you deploy and manage smart assets, digitally enabled physical assets and IT assets across their lifecycle? How do your instrument & interconnect these assets to create a dynamic infrastructure? How do you integrate workflows across business & IT boundaries to enable effective service delivery? How do you ensure service quality across converged, and interdependent business and IT infrastructures? IBM’s integrated platform allows for unified management of assets, information and workflow, not just within silos, but across silos, so you can: See all your smart, physical and IT assets and manage them in an integrated way, across the asset lifecycle. Instrument your assets, understand their health and impact on business services, share relevant data across silos and transform that data into actionable intelligence for better decision making. Integrate tools and automate workflows across organizational teams, roles and functions (including line of business, architecture, development, IT operations, network operations, facilities, production and more). … enabling delivery of smarter, differentiated services across a dynamic infrastructure.
• #8: This is a famous GTO chart we call the “genetic map”. If you look vertically, each year we come up with four-to-six major sections of the GTO, we call these “chapters.” The interesting points on this chart are the horizontal lines that are used to show how the chapters from one year are related to ones in another year. The reason this is important to understand is that each year when we come up with new chapters - - this does not replace last years list, in fact it often builds on it by further refining our thinking. I like to view the GTO then as a continuum of ideas that we build upon as our thinking gets clearer around a particular topic.
