The Typical Evolutionary Architecture Challenges Complex integration with systems resulting in long deployment timelines Silos of servers and storage resulting in wasted computing resources Inefficiencies across the board including high software license footprint Inability to Leverage Licensable Options due to high license footprint IT Teams spend time maintaining a large estate rather than innovating IT Teams become silo d into specific skill-sets, communication dries up Fragmented management and monitoring limited to availability monitoring Security and Performance management not a focus
Evolutionary Architecture Complex Integration Order 1,000 parts from 100 different catalogues looking for the lowest price Contract with dozen different suppliers to hire engineers to assemble parts into sub-assemblies (frame, engine, drive train, body etc) Take at least one year to put it all together Spread another 6 months fixing problems to get it to run Pay a fortune to maintain it and get 2 miles per gallon A New Car Parts not guaranteed to work together Too many variations; No Standards Not optimized for best performance or maintenance Many specialized skills required No Overall Warranty
Evolutionary Architecture Typical Refresh Cycle Architecture enhanced through tech refresh every 3 years Faster Servers with faster CPUs with more cores Faster and more memory Storage evolution with wide striping, SSDs and Flash Components may be relatively low cost to upgrade, but the TCO is increasing What elements of the architecture haven't evolved significantly Storage bandwidth, 1Gbps, 4Gbps, 8Gbps and 10Gbps Storage protocols, iscsi, Fiber, NFS Physical Spinning Drives, 7.5Krpm, 10Krpm and 15Krpm What about flash storage faster storage indeed but RamSan, Violin and others Data is uncompressed, storage bandwidth is limited, no high availability We need a massive leap in capabilities not incremental improvements
Evolutionary Architecture Software License Costs Silos of Servers Result in: High license footprint due to CPU cores on individual servers These CPU cores may often be largely idle, effectively wasted outside of peak load times Pools of software licenses bought over time are often renewed at different times of the year, reducing clarity around IT support budgets Additional License Considerations: Oracle Enterprise Edition for online maintenance and better performance Oracle Partitioning for performance on larger data sets Oracle Advanced Compression for space and performance savings All of the above options come at a considerable expense in a silo d architecture, where all CPU cores must be licensed This may take these key Oracle options off of the table completely
Evolutionary Architecture Security Challenge Lack of Comprehensive Unified Security Policy and Methods Constrained by variety of OS and database versions Out of support versions are often not compatible with security methods Generic security tools may have wider breadth but less depth of security Security becomes a Silo d Operation Network team have a approach to security Systems team have a security approach Database team have security approach Commonly no data at all is shared between teams Expense of securing a fragmented architecture Large number of individual servers and cores = large security cost exposure Large license exposure = reluctance to enable additional security All combines to a limited, ineffective security frame work
Evolutionary Architecture Monitoring Challenge Lack of Comprehensive Deep-Level Monitoring Constrained by variety of OS and database versions Out of support versions are often not compatible with monitoring agents Generic monitoring tools may have wider support but less depth of information Monitoring becomes a Silo d Operation Storage team have storage monitoring tool Systems team have server monitoring tool Database team have database monitoring tool Commonly no data at all is shared between teams Monitoring data not available to Development or Management teams Expense of monitoring a fragmented architecture Large number of individual servers and cores = large license exposure Large license exposure = reluctance to enable additional functionality All combines to a limited, ineffective monitoring solution
Evolutionary Architecture Skills Considerations Key Staffing Considerations: High training costs to support and maintain: Variety of Operating Systems and versions Variety of Database Technologies and versions Large amount of IT time spent maintaining the environments Overhead of patching all servers/databases is high Silos of IT Expertise IT teams become islands of expertise, without overlap Knowledge transfer between teams becomes limited Troubleshooting may become a blame game between teams Architects are key Systems and database architects are key bridging the gap between IT groups, essential for an effective reporting structure to upper management
Evolutionary Architecture Other Side-Effects All of the inefficiencies described for monitoring also apply to: Disaster Recovery techniques Backup/Recovery technology Replication technology Operating System technology These inefficiencies result in: Higher Staffing costs Multiple vendors often support teams blame each other with no collaborative effort to resolve issues Higher cost of maintenance windows, both planned and unplanned Limited Control over TCO Only incremental improvements in capabilities
Architecture Evolution towards Consolidation
Typical Business Complaints of IT Return on Investment What have we actually achieved? I m not seeing more business capabilities for my IT investment? Increasing Complexity More vendors to manage Complex integration, devils are in the details Fragmented support sources, vendor finger pointing Greater technical skills required in-house, often under utilized Challenging Complex Upgrades Costly, require extensive manpower, high level of risk to the business, involve outage windows, and are rarely smooth
We Need a Architecture Revolution! To enable us to: Provide a quantum leap in our business capabilities! Provide a quantum leap in end-user experience! Provide a quantum leap in operational efficiency! Provide us with the confidence to move to the next generation! How do we do this? Integrate teams and employ thought leaders Architects! Simplify IT - remove typical IT barriers Remove complexity enable smarter architecture design Consolidate fewer systems with greater capability Manage Data Effectively compress and partition data Focus on Security secure the data and audit access Monitor effectively in depth monitoring for decision making
