- 1. The Software Defined Institution Brett Looney THETA 2015
- 2. 2 The What?
- 3. 3 SDN Is that SDS? Does that even have an acronym? What does that mean? Software Defined Networks Software Defined Storage Software Defined Data Centre
- 4. 4 For configuring your network? IS SDN? For dynamically changing network policy? A software control plane? A compute platform? Providing an API to request network resources?
- 5. 5 But: Does it matter?
- 6. 6 Who Cares?! Most people in this room probably do Most end users don't
- 7. 7 And you shouldn’t care either Most businesses are not in the IT business So the IT department should really be about delivering business solutions… Not infrastructure
- 8. 8 Software is the answer But what’s the question?
- 9. 9 Let’s take a step back iPad… No-Way-Jose …connect my shiny new device!
- 10. 10 We need to fix this But how?
- 12. 12 So what’s that question? B.A.U CHANGE!
- 13. 13 Not so easy…
- 14. 14 You need to plan your software architecture And how it will interact with the underlying infrastructure Architecture
- 15. 15 Data Modelling is key The right data For the right people At the right time
- 16. 16 This is not news We have been through this before
- 17. 17 And you will need… Software development resources In house Outsourced Partners
- 20. 20 An example… The University of Melbourne
- 22. Consider what is happening in the startup space Launching In 4, 3, 2, 1… 22
- 24. 24 The bad
- 25. This can’t be done overnight! 25 The software ecosystem still isn't perfect
- 26. 26 The “cloud” can help Using the cloud will make no difference if you don’t change your IT processes
- 27. 27 But if you’re re-engineering architecture and process Then using cloud-based infrastructure is the answer The “cloud” can help
- 28. 28 To sum up
- 30. 30 The Aim Can your institute Apps be WOW just like Angry Birds?
- 33. 33 Thank You
