3 Introduction This project will initiate planning for the consolidation of campus data center facilities and IT infrastructure services. The directive for this initiative was provided by two recent planning groups the Cost Savings and Efficiencies Task Force and the IT Planning Task Force: The Cost Saving and Efficiencies Task Force (December 2008 April 2009) was formed to review options for reducing administrative costs and improving operational efficiency in response to state level and University of California budget reductions. Among other areas, the task force identified numerous cost reduction proposals associated with information technology including the consolidation of IT services and infrastructure for data centers and server hosting. Of the IT related proposals, the task force rated the consolidation of data centers and servers as the most important recommendation to implement. The IT Planning Task Force (August 2008 September 2009) was created to define a comprehensive strategic plan for IT at UCLA including IT priorities for enhancing UCLA s academic excellence and administrative efficiency, deriving greater value and efficiency from UCLA s IT infrastructure, and balancing the needs of individual divisions and departments against the benefits of institutional solutions. The UCLA IT Strategic Plan for drafted by the task force outlines the expected role of information technology at UCLA and proposes a new IT operating model to achieve those aspirations. The advantages of moving toward more centralized planning and sourcing of data center facilities and IT infrastructure for some specified areas was noted by both planning groups. It was also recognized that such a direction would be a major change from how IT infrastructure has been managed at UCLA over the past several decades. The sections that follow outline the proposed approach for planning this change and building a sustainable capability for campus wide IT infrastructure planning and consolidation. Objectives The overall goal of the study is to assess the current state of UCLA s IT infrastructure and develop a plan for the creation, delivery and management of large scale campus IT infrastructure services. This will include (1.) defining what infrastructure services should be provided at an institutional level, (2.) building UCLA s capabilities to efficiently and effectively deploy institutional IT services, and (3.) rationalizing current IT infrastructure through consolidation, standardization, integration and virtualization including: Data center facilities reducing the number of physically separate centers, rooms, closets and other locations where campus computing equipment operates IT infrastructure consolidation and virtualization of the hardware, software and service components that support institutional applications and IT enabled processes dc services charter csg 3 6/25/2010
4 IT operations rationalizing the management and support processes associated with data center and infrastructure operations The objectives are to be achieved within the framework of the IT Operating Model as outlined in the UCLA IT Strategic Plan. Scope The scope of the assessment will include evaluating opportunities to consolidate and expand UCLA s institutional IT infrastructure. Institutional IT infrastructure encompasses the centrally coordinated, shared IT services that provide the foundation for the university s IT capability. Infrastructure Scope Specific components of the IT infrastructure that will be studied include: Data center facilities, rooms and closets that currently exist at UCLA and options for data center expansion such as data center containers, data center facilities at other UC campuses and commercial or outsourced data center services. Shared computing platforms including the hardware and software for virtualized server environments, shared storage arrays, peripherals, database management, system monitoring and management. Opportunities to leverage cloud computing as a component of institutional IT infrastructure will also be evaluated. Middleware applications and services that include shared solutions such as identity and access management, data warehouse, content management and collaboration tools that are leveraged across many areas. Opportunities for developing and managing architecture standards for application middleware (e.g., enterprise service bus, messaging, workflow, web services, etc.) will also be evaluated. Human IT resources that provide the knowledge, skills, experience and capabilities to convert technology components into useful shared services. Security and risk management (e.g., disaster planning and recovery) related to institutional IT infrastructure will also be evaluated. Infrastructure components that will not be included in the scope of this analysis include network communications, e mail and calendaring, helpdesk and desktop support, institutional data management and enterprise applications as these areas are being addressed by other teams. Institutional Scope The scope will include IT infrastructure required to support the research, education and administrative activities of the university. Technology related to clinical care will not be evaluated. dc services charter csg 4 6/25/2010
5 Principles A number of principles for how IT planning at UCLA should proceed were outlined in the IT strategic plan and the cost efficiencies report. These principles represent a starting point for engaging campus stakeholders in developing the business plan and model for the delivery of IT infrastructure services. IT is a strategic tool that represents a significant investment. IT efforts and capabilities must be aligned with the goals of the institution to better enable the achievement of its mission and maximize the overall benefit of IT investments. Opportunities to consolidate common services should be actively explored. Redundant provisioning of common services increases support costs, results in uneven service levels and inhibits the ability to leverage economies of scale. Centralization should not automatically be viewed as the solution to every challenge. Conversely, centralization should not be automatically resisted. Choices should be made with an enterprise perspective and justified on the basis of the value they generate. Local IT autonomy, especially at the frontlines of research and education, is highly valued and is recognized as a critical component of innovation. Change initiatives must have strong support from campus leadership and broad support from the university community. Planning and implementation must involve faculty, staff and students as appropriate. Effective cost optimization may need new or continued investment to reap long term benefits. Some initiatives may take a period of years to implement. Expected Benefits The consolidation of IT infrastructure provides an opportunity to improve the business value of IT in a number of areas. The potential quantitative and qualitative benefits associated with infrastructure consolidation, standardization, integration and virtualization will be identified and validated in a business case for campus infrastructure services. Opportunity IT planning IT cost reduction IT integration Business Value Improve the ability to plan, forecast, manage and govern campus IT infrastructure. Reduce overall capital, operating and energy costs. Increase IT asset utilization. Rationalize architecture complexity. Improve real-time integration and data management capabilities. dc services charter csg 5 6/25/2010
6 Opportunity IT integrity IT agility Service quality Business Value Improve system availability, security and disaster recovery capabilities. Accelerate server and storage provisioning. Improve flexibility to accommodate new applications, peak loads and variable demand. Improve service delivery, management and measurement capabilities. A new IT funding model that provides appropriate and sufficient investment to effectively operate shared IT infrastructure services will also be necessary. Components that have been identified as important to this funding approach include: An institutional view and understanding of all IT infrastructure investments that are being made across the campus A systematic way of linking IT investments to the business strategy of the campus and an appropriate mechanism to allocate campus funding resources to IT A new baseline and total cost of ownership model for each institutional IT service that includes annual operating costs and amortizes replacement costs of hardware and software over the life of the service The creation of an IT reserve fund that will provide development and operational funding for institutional IT service needs over a ten year horizon Project Approach The analysis and planning for data center and infrastructure services will focus on three major areas data center facilities, infrastructure services and a new service delivery plan. Data center facilities: (1.) evaluation of current data center capacity, (2.) forecast of future data center needs, (3.) recommendations for optimal use and operation of existing facilities, and (4.) sourcing of additional / future data center capacity Work currently in progress to assess the structural and environmental features of the Math Sciences Addition (MSA) data center are outlined in Appendix A. Infrastructure services: (1.) evaluation of current infrastructure assets and technologies, (2.) identification of the needs and value associated with rationalized sourcing of infrastructure services related to data centers, servers, storage, data management, IT management systems, middleware, integration software, security and disaster recovery solutions, (3.) definition of the campus infrastructure services catalog including the scale, sourcing, sequence and timing of delivery, and (4.) specification of the infrastructure standards and architecture necessary to support campus services dc services charter csg 6 6/25/2010
7 Service delivery plan: (1.) the business and operating plan for the development, introduction and delivery of data center and infrastructure services, (2.) the roadmap for data center and IT infrastructure consolidation, (3.) investment needs for start up and funding model for sustaining on going service delivery, and (4.) a governance model for on going planning, sourcing and management of data center and infrastructure services dc services charter csg 7 6/25/2010
8 The assessment of opportunities associated data center and infrastructure services is dependent on a related initiative to inventory current UCLA IT assets. The inventory will provide a baseline for institution wide technology planning and benchmarks for the comparison of UCLA infrastructure to that of comparable institutions. As with any major initiative, effective project management will be critical to achieving successful outcomes. Project management activities set and manage the overall direction and timing of the project; help ensure effective project communication; coordinate activities across teams; manage issues and the quality of project deliverables. Implementing a new delivery model for data center and infrastructure services will also involve some significant changes in current practices and a well planned, well executed change leadership program will be required to help promote acceptance of these changes. An effective change leadership plan is needed in the initial stages of this analysis to appropriately engage campus leadership, involve campus stakeholders and communicate project activities in a manner that addresses the political challenges associated with IT infrastructure consolidation. dc services charter csg 8 6/25/2010
