Benefits of Consolidation
• Original Analysis– State Government could potentially eliminate 100 or
more application, database or file and print servers.– In actuality,102 were eliminated, with the potential
of further reduction.
• State Government had over 100 servers providing file and print services– Typically one or more per agency– Utilizing the state network and consolidating onto a
single, clustered, environment for state government eliminated several application, database or file and print servers.
26
Acknowledgement
• Many people took part in making this project a success, ITD and OMB would like to take the time to acknowledge and thank those involved in the IT Functional Consolidation Project– Technical teams in ITD and the agencies who
worked together for countless hours to accomplish the goals of this project
– Project team members who helped build the foundation to move forward
– Project Executive and Steering Committees for their support and guidance throughout the process

Mainframe Migration Update
30
Platforms & Operating Systems Future State
• The current server and operating system
infrastructure presents the state with
challenges that must be addressed.
• What are these challenges? How can
they be addressed?
31
Business Critical applications are deployed on a variety of platforms
• Windows – ConnectND, JSND, Law Enforcement
• iSeries – DHS, BND• AIX – DHS, WSI• Solaris – OMB, DOT, Tax, JSND, others• Linux – G&F, ITD, Health, others• Mainframe – DHS, BND, ITD, OMB,
DOT, Tax, others• HP/UX – BND (Cash Management)• Apple OS/X – Water Commission
Note: This list contains every major operating system currently available.
32
Reducing the variety of business critical platforms can reduce TCO
• Supporting a wide variety of platforms requires a wide variety of skill sets and so implies a larger staff.
• The effects of a wide skill set requirement are seen within ITD:– Some 40% of ITD's Computer Services Staff are
devoted to the mainframe; the remainder focuses on other platforms.
– Little cross over between these groups is possible due to the different technical skill sets.
– Service could be improved, and staff potentially decreased, by removing this division.
Implication: Business critical applications should be deployed on a limited set of platforms.
33
Many business critical applications currently require staff with mainframe skill sets
• Numerous critical applications run on the state’s mainframe:– These applications include the tax system, several
DHS systems (MMIS, VISION, FASCES, etc.), Driver’s License, BND’s core banking.
• The operation and maintenance of these systems requires staff with mainframe skill sets.
• As of 2002 some 60% of the people with these mainframe skill sets were age 50 or older. Implication: This impending skill set shortage
must be addressed.
34
Current and Future State
• At present state government:– Provides critical business applications on a wide variety of
platforms.– Requires staff with a wide variety of skill sets, including
mainframe skill sets, to support these applications.
• In the future state government:
– Will provide critical business applications on a limited set of platforms
– Staff skill sets will be focused on this limited set of platforms.
• These goals need further definition to become actionable.
• Long term trends that drive Information Technology permit a more precise, or actionable, statement of goals.
35
Information Technology Trends
• Intel based servers are becoming a commodity– There is little difference between different vendors Intel
Server Platforms.– The Price/Performance of Intel based hardware is driving
Enterprise server platforms towards Intel.
• The push towards Intel hardware implies that Windows and Linux will come to dominate the data center.
– Windows and Linux are the only Intel capable Operating Systems with large scale vendor support.
– All major software vendors, be they ERP vendors (eg. PeopleSoft, SAP), database vendors (eg. Oracle, IBM, SoftwareAG), offer some or all of their product line on Windows and/or Linux.
Implication: Over the next 10 years the Enterprise data center will become dominated by Intel capable operating systems, meaning Microsoft Windows and Linux.
36
These trends are visible within the state’s IT environment
• No new mainframe application has been deployed since 1997.– The state's IT infrastructure is no different than
any other: new applications are deployed on Windows and Linux.
• Support for the state's IT infrastructure is under stress– The majority of the state's core business
processes are dependent on the mainframe.
– All new applications are deployed elsewhere.Question: Do we focus on the new, or the old? If the
new, how do we assure continuity of critical business functions? If the old, how do we prepare for the future? What does the future look like?
37
Future State Datacenter
• Business Critical Applications will be hosted on Windows or Linux on Intel Compatible hardware.
– This is simply an acknowledgement of market direction: Windows/Linux on Intel.
• End-of-life, or outsourcing, dates must be established for legacy platforms such as the Mainframe.
– Without these sunset dates it becomes almost impossible to provide adequately trained staff or plan IT investments.
Implication: It is time to assess the future of the mainframe. At present a gradual, evolutionary process is leading away from the mainframe. Is it time to be more proactive?
38
Moving towards the future
• The critical business functions currently supported by the mainframe require a stable and reliable technology infrastructure.
• This environment can be provided in one of four ways:– Maintain the current mainframe environment– Outsource the Mainframe environment.– Rewrite current applications.– Migrate current applications to another platform.
• Today, in the interests of time, we will focus on the cost of the current mainframe environment and the possibility of migrating current applications.
39
Current Mainframe Environment Cont.
Annual Hardware Costs: $450,000(12%)
Annual Software Costs: $2,450,000(65%)
Annual Labor Costs: $890,000(23%)
Total Annual Cost: $3,790,000
(Hardware/Software $2,900,000)
Software maintenance and licensing fees are the largest single component of the annual cost of the current mainframe environment.
40
Mainframe Migration
• Migration involves taking the existing applications and porting them to a different operating environment.– The existing mainframe applications would be
modified to run on a UNIX or Windows platform– This is not an application rewrite: little if any
change in functionality will result.– Aging applications that need replacement will
remain aging applications that need replacement.
• Migration can offer dramatically lower operating expenses.
• Migration will move the state's IT infrastructure towards the desired Future State.
41
Option 4: Estimated Migration Costs Cont.
The estimated one time costs of the migration are:
Development Cost $4,000,000
Project Management $200,000
Software Acquisition $1,300,000
Hardware Acquisition $300,000
Testing/Training Costs $500,000
Total One Time Costs $6,300,000
Note: Testing will require significant agency resources; the cost of these resources is not included.
42
Ongoing cost consist of Hardware, Software, and Labor costs.
Annual Hardware Costs: $275,000 (15%)Annual Software Costs: $700,000 (37%)Annual Labor Costs: $890,000 (48%)Total Annual Cost: $1,865,000(Hardware/Software $1,075,000)• The number of FTEs is kept constant in the new
environment. This will assure consistency of service levels.
• Note the major reduction in Annual Software costs as compared to the mainframe: $2,450,000 for the mainframe vs. $700,000 for the new environment.
Option 4: Estimated Migration Costs Cont.
43
Comparing Ongoing Annual Costs
Current Mainframe Cost $3,790,000Future Mainframe Cost $4,030,000Outsourcing Cost $5,100,000Migrated Environment Cost $1,865,000
• Outsourcing increases annual operating costs by more than $1,000,000 and will not be considered further.
• Migration offers a reduction of $1,925,000 in operating costs from current levels, and a reduction of $2,165,000 in when compared to future mainframe cost.
• With a project cost of $6,300,000 this reduction translates to payback within 2 biennia.
44
Putting it all together
• Migrating from the mainframe positions the state's IT infrastructure for the future.
• Migrating applications provides no change in functionality: aging applications that need replacement remain aging applications that need replacement.
• Migrating from the mainframe can reduce annual operating expenses by as much as $2,000,000
• With a project cost of $6,300,000 this reduction offers payback within 2 biennia.
