3 Fast IT! Defined. Fast IT! is a new model for IT with a drive for less complexity, more agility, and comprehensive security. It is based upon application-centricity, automation, virtualization, and orchestration. It helps to lead organizations through the transformation into the digital business, enabling to adopt on and drive new business innovations while optimizing the current business models and the existing IT infrastructure.

8 Key Concepts in Fast IT and Cloud Organize and Orchestrate Automate Compose, manage and automate within or across clouds Ø Model oriented Ø Policy based Reduce complexity, manual labor Ø automated tasks and workflows Ø End-to-End provisioning Converge and Standardize Reduce the number of solution elements Ø standardized building blocks Ø simplification 8

9 We have seen this before Portal is what type of car to build Orchestration is how to build the car and what variants of it Automation is building the car Software Defined Infrastructure is the logistic allocating the required parts on demand Service Portal Policy based Orchestration Workflow Automation Software Defined Infrastructure 9

12 Orchestration Matters Script-based Orchestration Model-based Orchestration 12

13 Complex IT Processes to Deploy Application Resources Challenges: Manual processes Complex handoffs between teams and domains Static resource allocation Result: Days/weeks/months to deploy IT services High operational cost Rigid silos Infrastructure inefficiency and under utilization 2 IT Planning 1 Define Cost Models Business Application Requirements Add Users and Groups Approvals Server Admins Network Admin Storage Bare- Metal Bare- Metal Setup Servers Create Storage Resources (LUNs and Volumes) Create VLANs Create Network Policies Create IP space Web App Hyper-v Bare metal Provisioning Create VLAN Update Trunks Create UCS Service Profiles Create vfilers Web Web Bare-Metal HYPERVISOR HYPERVISOR Configure Servers Add VLAN to Service Profile Configure SAN Zoning Add vfilers to Group Map Create UCS Blade NetApp LUN Storage Policy Power On 13 DB

16 Automation and Orchestration Lessons Learned Out of the box automation content is key Both Physical and Virtual infrastructure must be automated Automation must span Technology Silos to be truly effective The Automation and Orchestration platform should allow you to maintain vendor neutrality (no lock-in) Vendor must deliver new and relevant content quickly and reliably Orchestration needs to interface with the organization s tools and processes Expect average OPEX savings of 12-15% with Orchestration, 88% fewer steps 1).
