What the business wants… What’s required…

MonitoringLifecycleManagement


How the infrastructure has evolved…


Specify/DesignTakes 2-3 months for an IT infrastructure system

ProcureSoftware & hardware ordered separately taking 1-3 months

IntegrateComponents arrive as “bag of parts”requiring months of integration, configuration & optimization

DeployCan take weeks to months

Customize/TuneMeeting SLAs requires customization and

ongoing tuning

ScaleLack of dynamic elasticity results in

cumbersome re-allocation of resources

ManageManaging and monitoring with multiple

tools is time consuming

MaintainSeparate fixes require separate testing

UpgradeMonths to plan, procure and test with the

potential for hours or days of downtime

Building custom systems is difficultUp & Running

Ongoing Effort

Development Operations

ProvisionUp to a month or more for a development or test environment

ConfigureConfiguration and customization of pre-packaged components is error prone and can take months

Benefits

Challenges


Deeply integrating and tuning hardware and software – in a single, ready-to-go system

Capturing and automating what experts do – from the infrastructure tothe application

Making every partof the IT lifecycle easier -integrated management of the entire system and a broad open ecosystem of optimized solutions

The time has come for a new breed of Expert Integrated Systems

Patterns of Expertise


Patterns of Expertise: Proven best practices and expertise for complex tasks learned from decades of client and partner engagements that are captured, lab tested and optimized into a deployable form

MonitoringLifecycleManagement

What is a Pattern?• The pre-defined architecture of an application• For each component of the application (i.e. database,

web server, etc)• Pre-installation on an operating system• Pre-integration across components• Pre-configured & tuned• Pre-configured Monitoring• Pre-configured Security• Lifecycle Management

• In a deployable form, resulting in repeatable deployment with full lifecycle management

• Delivering superior results:• Agility: Faster time-to-value• Efficiency: Reduced costs and resources• Simplicity: Simpler skills requirements• Control: Lower risk and errors
