Multiple surveys suggesting that Europe and America are having a higher level of IT cost transparency.

Data Center ChallengesCost Management

In Asia:

Labor cost are percentage wise substantially lower

Energy cost is not an issue, yet!

Energy / Facility costs are approximately half in comparison

Server cost are the highest cost stake – Software cost remain unclear

Due to continues business growth the budget increase tends to be in the high-end area

Lack of financial IT transparency

Europe – Asia Differences

Define services and implement a service catalog. The first step is to understand the services that IT is providing rather than the technology.

Develop cost models for each service. For each service in the catalog, develop a cost model that maps the technology, labor, and other costs required to support the service.

Define allocation methodologies. Charging customers for IT services requires a method for allocating the costs.

Integrate with financials. The final step is to embed IT customer invoices into the enterprise financial accounting system.

The industrialized data center with its adaptive infrastructure and new business and cost savings model is a continuous effort and improvement project.

Data Center IndustrializationData Center Challenges

Dynamic / Adaptive Infrastructure and the Data Center

DC industrialization will create new business opportunities, but will destroy legacy data center business models (e.g. Collocation/Housing only).Virtualization, standardization and automation transform the IT towards a more homogenous infrastructure. The industrialization process with its future technology advantages and business opportunities immunizes the Data Center against serious margin cuts or budget deficits.No future data center without a holistic strategic approach.

Key stakeholders must drive the virtualization from different perspectives, however strategy, standardization and automation are the key issues.

Data Center Industrialization - VirtualizationData Center Challenges

Must consider virtualization as:

Part of the strategy

Foundation for automation

Change in the relationship with customers

Rebalance skills toward business (alignment)

Proactively drive Enterprise Architecture Management (Application Readiness)

Set process maturity goals

IT Executives

Must manage resources as pools (capacity planning, deployment, chargeback)

Virtualization sprawl is a real concern –requires good accounting/changing and most import mature processes

Holistic Life-cycle Management

Ensure Virtual Machine Standardization

DC / IT Operation Manager

End-user reticence is a big barrier to virtualization

Must expect service levels, not boxes

Faster deployments, resulting in higher demand

Customers

Pricing models must change – more granular, more dynamic

Business Continuity remains a lower priority topic, however as major incidents show it is vital to the survival of businesses.

Data Center Industrialization – Business ContinuityData Center Challenges

Have you investigated / validated the business continuity readiness of your strategic partners?

BC of strategic partnersHave you conducted a formal BIA to support business continuity strategy development and planning?

Business Impact AnalysisDo you have documented BC plans in place?

Documentation

Technology alone doesn’t constitute a BC plan, and even a plan isn’t enough if it’s not tested and updated on a regular basis. If you have two (DC) sites that are an appropriate distance apart and you use replication to protect your mission-critical and business-critical applications, then you’re in good shape from a technology perspective. However, if you don’t have documented plans, don’t test plans every year, and don’t update them on a regular basis, this is where you need to focus your improvement efforts.

Industry benchmarks for energy optimization at existing DC sites define maturity classes for an optimization of power consumption in a world-class GreenIT.

Energy Management and CoolingData Center Challenges

Energy Optimization Maturity Classes for Improvement

Efficient Data Center Cooling continuous to be the major facility issue, which will be even more dominant in the coming years.Only Energy Management that is vertical implemented from the business down to the data center facility management will enable the organization to get a transparent view on energy costs.Provider Data Centers build before 2000 will be soon excluded from outsourcing tender evaluations.Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) cannot be used alone as a standard to compare data center energy efficiency.

IT Service ManagementIntroductionIT organizations are undergoing a transformation from project-centric to become service-oriented which is introducing systematically IT Service Management (ITSM).

Drivers of introducing and using IT Service Management

ITSM has been introduced by many organizations to increase service quality and to reduce costsITIL as a best practice has been used as guideline to implement ITSMHowever, how to assess, measure and compare the effectiveness of ITSM (ITIL) process implementations?How to check periodically the „state“ of ITSM operations?So a unified, standard methodology would be necessary to provide independently verifiable means to measure IT process implementations

Comments

ITIL as best practice provides only guidanceProven methodology for managing IT services but it is not a standardHow to ensure sustainable positive effects of ITIL introduction?

Stronger focus on controlling IT costsImproving cost structures by outsourcing leading to complicated supply chainsHow to ensure high service quality along the whole supply chain?

Increasing dependence on high quality, high availability IT services aligned with business needsTransition to systematic ITSMHow to ensure sustainable effectiveness of ITSM?

Service centricity Cost reduction ITIL

A systematic and standard approach is necessaryto ensure sustainable effectiveness („Build to last“)

IT and Business

Quantifying benefits of ITIL introduction

Ensuring continuous process improvement

Auditable IT service quality and

conformance

Standard requirements to

manage suppliers

Business has become services focused with a strong orientation to service levels and costsMissing standard ITSM framework could lead to misalignment between business and IT

Control of suppliers and other 3rd party service providers ensures constantly high service quality

ITIL is not a standard against which service providers can be certified

Establishes cost-effective IT services for all stakeholders, and improves service qualityDifficult to quantify ITIL benefits, and lack of baselines for process metrics

Solid foundations to define and implement key service management processesDepth and breadth of an implementation are specific to priorities and maturity of each process

Assistance to enforce ITSM process compliance, and ensuring high service qualityLack of standardized quality control leads to degradation of IT service quality

Past project shows there are three main key success factors:

Keeping the documentation up-to-date

Introducing a documentation culture, with the necessary detail depth

Standardization

Challenges

That policies and procedures are repeatable documented and controlled

Documentation is necessary for all ITIL processes, which in turn provide visibility and control.

Cost reduction and enhanced customer satisfaction and improved customer services through well designed SLAs.

Service Level Management (SLA)IT Service Management

Service Level Design and Cost Calculation

Quality of service through improved responsiveness

Through the definition of service levels, IT knows what the customer expects and can respond accordingly.

Optimization of service-level agreements

If services are managed according to service levels, penalties can be avoided.

IT service cost projection

In a shared service organization, it is easier to do a cost projection and a more efficient charged back through the use of services

ITIL Project Success and Failure factors

A successful increase in IT competitiveness through ITIL-based reengineering depends on various factors.

IT Service Management

Firm establishment of “department thinking” (functional structures)

Expectations of measures too high and short term

No standard IT basis due to non-integrated plans and tools

No standard understanding of the terms

The change is only accepted by external consultants or only by a few hierarchical levels of the company

No common business process architecture

Ambiguous target requirements; strategic “zigzag” course

Too many parallel projects which are too ambitious

Information hiding

Quantifiable objectives and orientation to best practice variables to monitor success

Problem transformation (formal vs. complex process components)

Readiness to accept change/deal with psychological stress

Development of a vision

Continual and thought-out communication from the management

Extensive anchoring of ITIL and “process thinking” in the company (commitment of management, incorporation of the areas involved)

Focusing on the core business processes and the customer's objectives

Consistent standardization

Stable general concept, can be extended flexibly

Adequate budget

Use of tried and tested methods

Success factors Failure factors

Tasks of project participants

In the design phase, the creativity and the aptness of the consultant when dealing with problems and people is required in particular.
