Cloud Computing Business Intelligence Compliance Automation Continuity Real-time insight into data Instant audit reports for Automate paper-based Reduce downtime and internal regulatory processes and lights-out improve service requirements operation

3 Common pain points in data center management Unable to locate assets Unable to know what tis connected to what (manage relationships and dependencies ) Unable to find available resources (rack space, power, cooling, network, IP, etc) Unable to do accurate capacity planning Unable to manage change and enforce best practices and processes Unable to comply with hinternal and external regulatory audits 3 3

4 What does an Enterprise Data Center look like? Facilities Networking Systems Domains Raised Floor, UPS, PDU/RPP, Rack PDUs CRACs, Probes Structured Cabling, LAN, SAN, WAN Mainframe, Servers, VMs, Storage, Apps Tools Asset Tracking: Spreadsheets, Homegrown DBs Floor Plan: AutoCAD, Visio Monitoring: Sitescan, Foreseer, Raritan, etc. Cable/Net Tracking: Spreadsheets, Homegrown DBs Configuration: CiscoWorks, etc. Monitoring: HP OpenView, IBM Tivoli Asset Tracking: Spreadsheets, Homegrown DBs CMDB: HP BTO, BMC Remedy, etc. Monitoring: HP Insight Manager, IBM Director 4

5 How is the DC Ops Model evolving? Data Center Operations Domains Do omains Executing Work Orders Racking and Stacking Power Rack Connectivity Fiber and Copper Cable Patching Too ols Raised Floor, UPS, PDU/RPP, Rack PDUs CRACs, Probes Structured Cabling, LAN, SAN, WAN Mainframe, Servers, VMs, Storage, Apps Facilities Networking Systems

6 Manual Processes Labor-intensive Slow, time-consumingi Unreliable Add New Device Prone to conflict and errors Dispatch Personnel to DC Rack Space Cable Patch Panels Increased Costs Slow SLAs Query Available Resources Network / SAN Switches IP Address Space Problematic Power Sockets + Capacity

7 So what is the solution? Data Center Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM)

8 The need for a bridge between IT and Facilities

9 What is a DCIM System? Beyond asset tracking A holistic approach A single pane of glass A single repository Process-driven Manage physical and logical relationships that interconnect assets Enable collaboration and workflow across all data center domains Manage configurations of all facilities, network and systems assets and resources One database to house all data from across all data centers and sites A change management system by which you can provision new systems and all their related physical and logical resources ADCIM t b th t th h hi h A DCIM system becomes the gate through which you will enter the data center

10 Provisioning through change management Process-driven provisioning Capacity-based provisioning Work orders notifications ITIL v3 approved process

12 Information optimization & energy efficiency IT Load and Energy Supply Optimization Energy Efficiency Layer 4: Energy Efficiency Intelligence + Automation Pwr Outlet Auto-Discovery Energy Calc, Derated Pwr Calc Predictive Asset Placement Trending CFD Analysis Informed Decision Layer 3: Intelligent Management Correlation Engine Pwr + CPU Utilization, Server + Net Ports Service Management Change Management, Provisioning, SLAs Capacity Planning Asset and dcontract Accounting Layer 2: Operational Management Visualization Floor Map, Rack Layout, Front/Rear Rack Elevations Layer 1b: Dynamic Data Collection Network Servers + Applications Power Management Environment + Switches, Routers, Rackable, Blade, Mainframe, UPS, PDU/RPP, Busways, Space Eh Ethernet/IP, SAN VM, Appliances, Storage Outlets, CRACs, Probes, Structured Cabling Rack PDUs Cabinets/Racks Floor Grid, Tiles Layer 1a: Static Collection: SNMP Auto-Discovery, Spreadsheet Import Processing and Visualization Data Collection

13 Use Case 1: Provision new device Find available resources quickly ikl and visually Rack space Power Network Structured Cabling

14 Use Case 2: Trace power and network circuits Model physical and logical relationships quickly and visually Map dependenciesd between granular infrastructure elements such as network ports and circuit breakers to severs, applications, and business users.

15 Use Case 3: Manage complete power chain Easily Differentiate between nameplate, budgeted (reserved), and real-time power consumption Never overload the power chain by proactively reserving power resources Keep all ll3 phases balanced to reduce power losses and increase utilizations

16 Use Case 4: Real-time porting Monitor power consumption in realtime at the device level Eliminate ghost servers Refresh energy inefficient servers T t f Target servers for virtualization

17 The case for return on investment Automate manual processes Reduce provisioning cycles Reduce number of hands Increase provisioning accuracy ROI case profile Data center size: 100 cabinets Average weekly change 3 Man-hour loaded cost $100/hr. HP Confidential

18 How does it all add up? The ROI case Staff-hours Effort for Typical Change Before After Savings Change Request Server Configuration Definition Determine Availability of Physical Resources - Rack Power Cooling Cabling Network Install Server and Connections % Re-work (due to inaccurate documentation) Project Management Coordination Meetings Other Total Effort per One Typical Change

19 How does it all add up? The ROI case Savings per 1 Typical Change Total Hourly Staff Savings per Typical Change 7.40 Average Hourly Staff Cost $100 Savings per Change $740 % Savings 60% 60% 7.40 Savings based on Change Frequency Changes Savings - Weekly Changes 3.00 $2,220 - Monthly Changes $9,620 - Annual Changes $115,440 $115,440 ROI Calculations Data Center Size (cabinets) 100 Software, Maintenance + Implementation $84,000 Annual Savings $115,440 Payback Period (in years)

20 DCIM Implementation

21 DCIM Implementation Implementing a DCIM tool is not for the faint of heart, and failure to understand every aspect of the software and what s required to make a successful implementation will set anyone up for complete failure. DCIM User / Data Center Manager 21

22 Implementation begins with The Right Team HP Critical Facilities Services DCIM trained & certified Successful engagements The Right Tools HP works with leading DCIM providers Easy to Implement Easy to Use

23 DCIM implementation types Existing Data Centers Compile existing records Survey data center Audit Design intelligent monitoring system Import into DCIM database Fork in the road New Data Centers Model new data center infrastructure in DCIM Use DCIM to manage migration and DC move-in process

24 DCIM implementation process Planning Data Collection Populate Test & Verify Best Practices Education& Training Commence Operations Define scope, schedule & budget Define goals & functions Define target data & sources System build and population Executive sponsorship Stakeholders buy-in Change process during implementation Operating procedures

25 DCIM implementation pitfalls Pitfalls Lack of commitment Validity of data Survey challenges Lack of goals or focus Too much, too soon Lack of discipline Lack of resources
