15 Facts & Figures about the Datacenter Number of servers OS Physical Virtual Total Virt % Solaris % Windows % Mac % 616 TB in different Tiers 3 tiers in 6 storage systems, 3 per DC Tier 1 Tier TB 144 TB High end storage: Fiber channel and SAS Technology High end storage: SATA Technology Tier TB Mid range storage: SATA Technology

16 Desktop virtualization Very limited use Effect of line latency Being able to work in a non connected mode Limited distance of workstation to the production machinery Expensive licenses 120 virtual Windows servers in DC 40 For latency sensitive applications 30 For legacy applications and compatibility 30 For internal ICT management 10 For Windows applications and for Mac users 10 Other

30 Costs Evolution ICT Cost/employee (Index cleared) Before integration After integration

31 Design lessons During design consider impact minimization of potential failures Make sure all drivers, hardware version, setup parameters, are identical for clustered servers Difficult to assess upfront the load on physical servers with a lot of virtual machines Easy to manage but also easy to make (human) mistakes Consider data recovery requirements during design of storage tiers (B)Leading edge technology (aggressive pricing but non-mature technology) Think big (anticipate on growth strategy) Think green

32 Considerations internal or external data center Be sure you have enough critical mass, if not outsource 24/7 business or just business hours Business Applications are very specific (no support from third parties available) Strong support of end users of business applications is required Fysical distance between servers and production machinery Costs Opex versus Capex strategy of the company Availability of skilled resources Building restrictions and regulations Employees churn rate
