Business Drivers for IT Optimization

PACE OF BUSINESS INNOVATION
Increasing expectations Companies are under
from customers and pressure to bring
partners to provide products and services
answers sooner to market faster

GLOBALIZATION REDUCE COSTS
Customers, supply chain, Relentless pressures
and competition have all to drive additional
become global efficiencies…do more
with less

Business is Changing & Evolving Rapidly


Creating the Architecture Vision for IT Optimization
OEAF Considers All Layers of Architecture

• Business Strategy, Operating Model
Business • Organizational Structure
• Key Business Services

• Application Processes and Services
Application • Logical and Physical Components
• Industry specific reference architectures

• Information repositories and standards
Information • Security, Governance, and Stewardship
• Information sharing

• Core Technology Services
Technology • Solutions such as High Availability and Disaster Recovery

How do we accomplish IT Portfolio
Rationalization?

Step 1 - Build inventory of
existing applications / Inventory
technology
Step 2 - Map inventory to Map
business / IT capabilities

Step 3 – Analyze the portfolio
against evaluation criteria Analyze
(Portfolio Scoring)
Step 4 – Propose the
appropriate actions to transform Transform
the “Current State” into the
desired “Future State”

It’s an Iterative Process!


Inventory Applications & Technology
• Build an inventory of existing
applications and technology
• Capture key attributes:
– Business Owner, Department,
Location
– Number of Users / CPUs
– Custom, COTS, etc…
• Determine evaluation criteria:
– Strategic Value
– Functional / Technical Fit
– Conformance to Architecture
Principles & Standards
– Risk
– Total Cost of Ownership


How is Redundancy Identified?

Virtualization and Consolidation Across
Technology Layers
User Desktops
• Virtualization is key for IT to
Portals & Web Servers
meet business needs for
Application Servers • Performance, Availability and Agility

Middleware
• It must be built into each layer
• Two models for virtualization
Database / Info Mgmt
• Business needs will drive
Hardware / Platform optimal use of virtualization
Disk / Storage • Easily adjustable as
requirements change

Database and Storage Virtualization
Oracle Database Grid

• Server Consolidation and Virtualization
– Single Access Point for Applications
– Load Balancing and Resource Pooling
– Efficient resource utilization
– Instance Caging and Resource Management
– Rolling patches and upgrades
– On-line instance migration
– Scale-out with Grid Plug-and-Play
– High availability and redundancy

• Storage Consolidation and Virtualization
– Simplified provisioning with zero downtime
– I/O Load Balancing

Multiple servers with shared – Information Lifecycle Management
database(s) and storage – Compression


Database and Storage Virtualization
Packaged as an Integrated Platform
Flexible Capacity
• Grid architecture for scale-out of database and storage servers
• Smart Scan for offloading query processing to the storage layer
• Smart Flash Cache storage for real-time random I/O
• Data compression tuned for OLTP, Warehousing and Archival data
• Infiniband networking to support massive data transfers

Resource Sharing
• ASM (Automatic Storage Management) shares Exadata storage
across all databases
• RAC (Real Application Clusters) shares large DBs across many nodes
• IORM (I/O Resource Management) allocates I/O bandwidth based on
database or application priorities
• Instance Caging shares CPU for multiple databases within a node

All the Power of the Oracle Database
• Real Application Clusters, Backup/Recovery, Replication, Security,
Partitioning, Large Objects, Enterprise Manager…

NIST Definition of Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-
demand network access to a shared pool of configurable
computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage,
applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned
and released with minimal management effort or service
provider interaction.

This cloud model promotes availability and is composed of:
5 Essential Characteristics 3 Service Models 4 Deployment Models
• On-demand self-service • SaaS • Public Cloud
• Resource pooling • PaaS • Private Cloud
• Rapid elasticity • IaaS • Community Cloud
• Measured service • Hybrid Cloud
• Broad network access

Source: NIST Definition of Cloud Computing v15


Cloud Computing Impacts All Layers of
Architecture
• Identity and Access Management
• Metering and Chargeback - How to recoup your investment?
Business • Change Management and Control - How to align the competing
needs of consumers and suppliers of services?

• Service Provisioning
• How to automate and streamline the creation and deployment of
Application application platform stack?
• How do you ensure tenant isolation and protect information?

• Monitoring and Reporting - How to gain understanding what is
Information happening inside the cloud?

• Dynamic Scaling - How do you enable capacity scale-up / scale-down?
Technology • Unified Develop, Test and Deploy experience


Oracle Cloud Computing Strategy
Our objectives:
• Ensure that cloud computing is fully enterprise grade
• Support both public and private cloud computing – give customers choice
