Infrastructure Optimization Program

Solutions Consulting June 14th, 2011

Why Attempt Optimization?

Server, Storage & Network Utilization Speed of Infrastructure Deployment Productivity and Flexibility Bandwidth for Pro-Active Management

Increase

Improve

Cost of Delivery Cost of operations Flexibility and reduction of risk Overall Customer satisfaction

Decrease
TCO on Infrastructure Assets Consumption of Power, Cooling, and Space Time-to-Market for New Projects MTTF and MTTR metrics Costs in Managing/Supporting Legacy Technology

Challenges with Infrastructure Optimization


A Lack of Rigorous Application & Infrastructure Analysis
Assume all applications and platforms can be optimized Disregard application workload characteristics Disregard application supportability for virtualization Uncertainty of virtualization's impact to storage and network infrastructures

Sets the Stage for Poor Design & Implementation


Wrong target platform Incorrectly designed Network Architecture Wrong consolidation or virtualization technology Misallocation of Storage SLA and availability mismatch

Which Creates Performance Problems


Improper sizing of target resources Network performance and availability issues Insufficient networking and storage resources leads to poor server performance Over-committing compute resources leads to poor application performance

That Results in Poor User Experience and Low Adoption


Quality and availability of applications negatively impacted Low confidence in solution Higher cost of issues resolution Customer rejection of solution

Savvis Proprietary & Confidential

The Infrastructure Optimization Program


Is designed to:
Perform In-Depth Application & Infrastructure Discovery
Analyze all applications objectively to determine suitability of virtualization Analyze and factor-in average and peak CPU, Memory, and I/O utilization Analyze and factor-in application supportability and upgradability Analyze storage and network infrastructures architecture and performance

That Enables Fact-based, Analytical Design & Implementation


Select the best target platform and consolidation / virtualization technology Factor-in SLA and Availability requirements to meet business goals Create a realistic Implementation Plan with predictable TCO and ROI

Delivering Predictable Performance


Size resources on target environments appropriately Factor-in growth and peak utilization to ensure continually optimal performance Select the best networking and storage infrastructure to support environment

That Leads to Excellent Experience


Performance and availability of applications meet and exceeds requirements. High confidence and hence customer satisfaction in solution. Increased adoption of consolidation and virtualization

It All Begins with Understanding Your Environment


Leveraging Automated Discovery Tools to Map Your Environment:
Infrastructure Details
Server Discovery mapping to storage, network and facilities. Operating System Details Performance Utilization across Compute, Storage and Network. Data Center Capacity & Constraints Power & Cooling Consumption

Application Information
Application to server mapping Application test suite availability and testing duration Service level requirements (batch vs. interactive; throughput; response times; availability; etc.) Growth expectations Application software stack information Application Dependency mapping to resource utilization

Existing Process Information


Change Management Procurement Provisioning / Decommissioning Asset Management Configuration Management Release Management Program Management Software Deployment

Financial Information
Hardware (Compute, Storage, Network) Costs Software Licensing and Support Costs Labor Costs Facilities and Hosting Expenses Depreciation Schedule Technology Refresh Schedule Maintenance Contract Terms

Followed By Fact Based Analysis


Scenario Models for the Target State

Model based on physical inventory discovered across data centers:


A 70% reduction in the remaining physical server footprint Based on a consolidation ratio of 10.5:1 VM to Physical
