3 1 Changing IT IT departments have traditionally had a well-defined set of responsibilities, including systems administration and maintenance, policy and regulatory compliance, and cost reduction and control. Today s IT leaders are tasked with transforming business processes, supporting growth and revenue enhancement by delivering new services and customer experiences. How does the cloud impact these demands? For many IT organizations, cloud computing is a double-edged sword. It has enabled the growth of shadow IT, whereby line of business (LOB) departments are securing and paying for their own applications, outside of the control of IT. In fact, a recent report from Vanson Bourne found that 77% of IT decisionmakers surveyed reported that LOBs in their organization are doing so. At the same time, the cloud is the vehicle that can enable IT to enhance its effectiveness and its relationship with the business. Instead of focusing on systems administration and maintenance, IT will recommend services, orchestrate solutions and allocate workload based on price, service levels and policies. The promise of the cloud is that IT can transition from infrastructure management and systems administration to value-added service brokers and innovation drivers of new services. In short, IT can lead the business forward instead of being order takers and problem fixers. In many organizations, IT is part way there. In a survey of 1300 IT leaders, 39% view IT as a service broker or consultant to business units, while just 11% view IT as a developer of new, innovative services and just 14% as a driver of new business initiatives. TechInsights Report: The Changing Role of IT and What to Do About It, Vanson Bourne 3

4 What s stopping us from making more progress? #1 The Pace of Change While not all commonly held beliefs are actually true, several studies confirm that the pace of change of new technology is accelerating. While it took many decades for the telephone to reach widespread adoption in the U.S., it took only 10 years for smartphones to reach 40% penetration. What are some implications of this accelerating rate of change? For IT, the diversity of devices that must be supported in this age of Bring Your Own Device presents just one huge challenge when it comes to enterprise support and applications. The pace of change is outpacing our ability to adopt them. Rapid technological change makes it difficult for IT personnel to keep their skills current. Cloud adoption, especially outside of IT, presents new security and privacy threats. 4

5 #2 Legacy IT Virtualization has been the basis of cloud computing and according to several research surveys, average x86 server virtualization levels exceed 50% of all server workloads. However, that means almost half of servers, and the applications they host, are not virtualized. There are a number of reasons for the continued usage of physical bare metal servers. Sometimes it s performance, as applications like database, or those that require low latency like financial trading applications, need all the speed the server can deliver. In many other cases it is due to legacy applications that can t be easily virtualized. Legacy IT is an anchor to innovation. Unless we find a way to manage the baggage we are saddled with, it is very difficult to move forward and adopt more useful technologies. To effectively move forward we need to devise a management strategy that will allow us to manage legacy, existing and new platforms together. 5

6 #3 Management Sprawl The explosive growth of Software as a Service (SaaS), increasing user demand, shorter time lines, the growth of mobile and the age of Bring Your Own Device have resulted in a mix of IT infrastructure and the use of public, private and hybrid cloud services. However this has continued to exacerbate a long-time issue in the data center the proliferation of management systems, each designed to control just a piece of an organization s computing environment. Every new piece of technology comes with its own management platform or user interface - which only controls that little piece. This sprawl leads to extremely siloed environments and requires continual staff training. This approach is extremely inefficient and costly. What is needed is a holistic management platform, one in which the IT staff can command and control the full range of platforms. 6

7 2 What s Needed? 95% of IT professionals said a Single Pane of Glass would be somewhat to very effective for their organization. What is needed is the ability to manage physical and virtual infrastructures as well as public, private and hybrid clouds without multiple management tools. Cloud services are typically built using cloud provisioning and management software. Clearly there is a need for a single solution that can bridge the gap to enable the management of both physical and virtual worlds. Most importantly, to run today s mixed infrastructure effectively, provisioning and management solutions must include support for private and public clouds, multi-vendor hardware, multiple hypervisors and virtual and physical servers. Key Functions Needed Include: period of usage consumption data service level contracted for roles management financial management asset tracking 7
