1 Change, Configuration and Release Management Techniques for Data Centers Robert Cowham & David Cuthbertson Services Director Managing Director Square Mile Systems 1 Square Mile Systems
2 Who We Are UK based Cirencester, Glos, UK Develop toolsets and techniques for end to end systems and service mapping of complex infrastructure AssetGen Visio automation utilities Industry bodies & roles BCS-Config Mgmt Specialist Group - Committee BCS-ITIL Specialist Group - Chairman National Outsourcing Assoc. - Director LinkedIn Data Center Engineering / Ops Mgmt BICSI, ITSMF, Microsoft guest speaker Business Processes Departmental, Company Services End user, infrastructure, supplier Applications PC, server, mainframe, SOA Virtual Infrastructure PCs, Network, Servers, Storage, DBMS Hardware Infrastructure PCs, Network, Servers, UPS, Storage, Other Fixed Infrastructure (Cabling, Power, Cabinets, Rooms, Buildings) AssetGen Limited 2
3 Agenda Data Center Challenges The development of CCRM techniques Managing the complexity problem Projects vs Operations processes Overcoming the chaos of infrastructure documentation How to start well Summary Square Mile Systems 3
4 Common DC Challenges Technology stress on capacity Power, blade servers, connectivity, storage Increasing complexity Hardware, virtualisation, firewalls, mobile, cloud Increase in control systems Time, cost and risk of implementing changes Multiple supplier / team interfaces Hosting/colo, outsource, platform, service mgmt CCRM techniques can help meet these challenges Square Mile Systems 4
5 The Numbers Keep Growing Examples Maximum power rating of a rack (kw) 2 24 Server maximum power rating (kw) 1 13 Physical servers in a rack 8 42 Virtual servers in a rack - 100s Physical network connections in a rack Virtual network connections in a rack - 100s Power supplies per server Complexity increases at all levels! Square Mile Systems 5
6 The Development of CCRM Techniques Multiple software teams, often geographically separately working on a common system Where and when to store/compile code Versioning covering requirements through to delivery Dependencies on other systems hardware, software The end result Configuration system(s) for holding documents, code, etc Subversion, Git, Perforce, Rational, DMSs Workflow covering project delivery Interface into operational change management Square Mile Systems 6
7 And In the Data Center World Multiple platform teams, often geographically separately working on a common IT infrastructure Where and when to change / optimise infrastructure Projects covering requirements through to delivery Dependencies on other systems hardware, software The end result System(s) for holding documents and configurations Excel, Visio, CAD, Access, DCIM, CMDB Workflow covering project delivery Interface into operational change management Square Mile Systems 7
8 Change, Configuration & Release Software Project Requirement Design Develop Test Software Configuration Management Release Operations Management Change management Release management Data Center Project Requirement Design Hardware Build Data Center Configuration Management Software Configure Service Configuration Management system Square Mile Systems 8
9 Architectural Complexity Business Processes Departmental, Company Cloud Networks LAN/SAN Applications Servers Mid range Mainframe Data Centre Services End user, infrastructure, supplier Applications PC, server, mainframe, SOA Virtual Infrastructure PCs, Network, Servers, Storage, DBMS Hardware Infrastructure PCs, Network, Servers, UPS, Storage, Other Fixed Infrastructure (Cabling, Power, Cabinets, Rooms, Buildings)
10 The Service (ITIL) Approach Business Processes Departmental, Company Cloud Networks LAN/SAN Applications Servers Mid range Mainframe Data Centre Service Management CMDB/CMS Services End user, infrastructure, supplier Applications PC, server, mainframe, SOA Virtual Infrastructure PCs, Network, Servers, Storage, DBMS Hardware Infrastructure PCs, Network, Servers, UPS, Storage, Other Fixed Infrastructure (Cabling, Power, Cabinets, Rooms, Buildings)
11 Infrastructure Knowledge Plan Build Operate Risk Dispose Project and task Speed of communication Ease of distribution Flexible to meet task needs Limited training Examples Project documentation Equipment lists Visio/CAD diagrams Test results Manage and Coordinate Ease of use by many Structured for integration & reporting Support for multiple processes Wide scope the big picture! Examples Asset and Inventory management Business / service dependencies Monitoring of performance, status Risk and Recovery 11
12 Reducing Plan and Build Times Standard hardware builds, pre-deployed Blade systems, standard platforms Virtualisation Networks, Servers, Storage More efficient usage of resources Use Colo/Hosting Reduce dependence on own physical space Cloud infrastructures Reduce need for physical/software components, IaaS, SaaS There will always be boxes and wires somewhere! Square Mile Systems 12
13 Scoping & Planning Changes Reliance on local knowledge Site surveys Workshops Excel, Access lists Diagrams Visio, CAD Project documents Operations DR, service catalog Monitoring, DCIM Service desk CMDB Other auto-discovery Workflow Square Mile Systems 13
14 Real World Complexity
15 Virtualisation Doesn t Always Make It Easier!
