What does this shift mean Jevon s Law Copyright Ovum. All rights reserved. Ovum is part of Informa Group. In his 1865 book The Coal Question: An Inquiry Concerning the Progress of the Nation, and the Probable Exhaustion of our Coal-Mines, English economist William Stanley Jevons made the observation Of the Economy of Fuel that when improvements in technology make it possible to use a fuel more efficiently, the consumption of the fuel tends to go up, not down. In other words the use of IT will increase and therefore IT must modernize its processes to maximize the potential benefits

For Operations hell is a typical Java or.net web application build process that involves multiple steps pulling in the various application files ensuring that the right virtual machine is in place stopping the application server for configuration setup and ensuring that the right files are located in the right folders restarting the service setting up the database and its configuration files ensuring that the service is running correctly, as there may be administration privileges to set up and various SQL queries to run checking that the application is running as expected.

The value of a managed cloud to DevOps Designed Single management tool set that controls and manages the entire system lifecycle from a single console Simplification of complex operation involved in deploying apps Integrated governance layer to ensure security and compliance are not compromised Optimized The complete stack is optimized for the platform and ensures the system delivers on all critical metrics Processes can be developed to match and be used by all parties involved in DevOps Supported Single support contract so that any issue or fault will not suffer from finger pointing.

What all this means for IT Design for manufacture. Treat software not as project, but as a durable good. Projects typically have specified start and end dates. Once projects end, attention shifts to the next items on what is otherwise a seemingly endless software development backlog. Change the mindset software developers should embrace the SLAs that are a core concept of IT service delivery. software warranty that the software will deliver on the original promises. It provides a mechanism for continuous improvement that is triggered not only by trouble tickets, Prevention is cheaper than fighting fires. Copyright Ovum. All rights reserved.
