What’s the Problem With General
Infrastructure?
• Too much stuff
• Handoffs don’t work
• Costs too much • Too much theory or too little
• Too slow practice
• Nothing works together

Application Infrastructure Integration Deployment Operations
Development Planning Testing Installation

The infrastructure as we now it today is very rigid and this
causes very poor utilization (40% or less)
5

Example of Service Definition General

• •
Name: Identity infrastructure service Examples
–
• MSFT Active Directory (NOS file and print)
Owner: Bob Smith, architect
– MSFT Passport online service
• Description
• Principles
– Providing user identity information (attributes),
–
including authentication credentials and related Simple authentication is usually enough
SSO services; also offers Web URL permissions – Replication to scale (mostly read-only)
• Use case • Component and service manifest
– Direct use by application (LDAP) – API: LDAP, Web server exits, proprietary
– Indirect use via Web server (with attribute – Presentation: NA
passing in headers)
– Application server: NA (see Web SSO)
– Direct use by application (security APIs)
– Integration: Metadirectory utilities
• Service-level matches – Database: iPlanet Directory Server
– + Scalability (over 500 users, etc.) – Server HW/OS: Sun Solaris on SPARC …
– + Scale incrementally using replicas – Storage: EMC SAN
– – Direct application support – Network: NA
• Pricing – Security: Netegrity SiteMinder Web SSO
– –
“Included” in e-business costs Management: Delegated admin, …
• Maturity
– Installed since 2001 with all customer names
– Used by X, Y, Z apps now 6

What Are the Benefits of a Ensemble General
Infrastructure?
• Technology reuse Ensemble
– Pattern blueprints: Architecture, technology,
product, configuration
– Technical services: Process
Actual implementations
• IT Process reuse
– Pattern matching
Technology People
– Service support

Infrastructure Services General

• Infrastructure services are very appealing
• However in many cases this involves:
– Saying “no”

– Buying “more expensive equipment” than needed

Infrastructure Services are the building blocks General
of Ensembles
Ensemble is a combination of specific Infrastructure Services that enable execution of
specific Mashup for specific Business Process

General -
What is Cloud Computing? Cloud

1. data and services reside in massively scalable data
centers
2. accessed from any connected devices over the
internet.

Web 2.0-
enabled PCs, Businesses,
4+ billion phones by 2010
TVs, etc. from startups
to enterprises 10

General -
Cloud Computing Modularity Cloud

Desktop as a service

Software as a service
(standard applications)
Platform as a service
(custom applications)
Infrastructure as a service
(compute, storage, network)
11

General -
Requirements for Cloud Services Cloud

• Multitenant. A cloud service must support multiple, organizationally distant
customers.
• Elasticity. Tenants should be able to negotiate and receive resources/QoS on-
demand.
• Resource Sharing. Ideally, spare cloud resources should be transparently applied
when a tenant’s negotiated QoS is insufficient, e.g., due to spikes.
• Horizontal scaling. It should be possible to add cloud capacity in small increments;
this should be transparent to the tenants of the service.
• Metering. A cloud service must support accounting that reasonably ascribes
operational and capital expenditures to each of the tenants of the service.
• Security. A cloud service should be secure in that tenants are not made vulnerable
because of loopholes in the cloud.
• Availability. A cloud service should be highly available.
• Operability. A cloud service should be easy to operate, with few operators.
Operating costs should scale linearly or better with the capacity of the service.

Amazon Simple Queue Service General -
Cloud
(Amazon SQS)
• Offers a reliable, highly scalable, hosted queue for storing
messages as they travel between computers
• Pay only for what you use. There is no minimum fee. Estimate
your monthly bill using AWS Simple Monthly Calculator.
• $0.01 per 10,000 Amazon SQS Requests ($0.000001 per
Request)
• Amazon SQS requests are CreateQueue, ListQueues,
DeleteQueue, SendMessage, ReceiveMessage,
DeleteMessage, SetQueueAttributes and GetQueueAttributes
• Data Transfer
• * $0.100 per GB – all data transfer in
• * $0.170 per GB – first 10 TB / month data transfer out

Open
Why Companies Use Open Source Source

• Freedom / Flexibility
• Lowers barriers to entry / exit
• Can’t afford to build new applications from
scratch
• Tired of waiting on hold for support
• Speed up development
• Purchase only the functionality needed
• Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
• ROI is shortened

•Lately we have received lots of Open
Source related inquiries – maturity, support,
reference, prices of:
•OpenOffice
•Tomcat
•Jboss
•MySQL
•Drupal
•Nagios
•Subversion

39

Online Bids General
Procurement

• Online bids are powerful tool in case
of real competition of commodity
products (apples vs. apples)
• Suggested steps are – technical 
traditional negotiation for getting 2-3
suppliers for best of final online bid
• In case there is no real competition
online bids can not help

40

Example for Depreciation period for HW General
Procurement

• Backbone network equipment – 7 years
• System SW (backup) - 7 years
• Business Applications SW – 10 years
• MF, Unix, Windows – 5-4 years
• PC SW – 5 years
• PC HW – 3 years
• Printers - 2 years

Virtualisation Licensing General
Procurement
Complications
compatibility (product & license – ―serial machine
• Historic

• PUR’s (product user rights) not supporting new technology
• Inventory / Discovery tools not designed to support Virtualised
environments
• Ever more complicated product variations to accommodate
model
• More software products required to run and support it
• Increased licensing knowledge required
• Makes planning and budgeting more complicated

Users Wish list Local
Trends

• Backwards compatibility - need to change lots of
code , processes people !
• Internal employees are harder to manage
• SW distribution is still an issue
• Real problem resolution
• Different views for the same issue:
– Purchase of SW and not rental
– Pay per use for HW (per TB)

50

General
Users Wish list /cont. Local
Trends

• Better change management easier to
implement CMDB solutions
• Automatic operations provisioning and capacity
planning – if DBMS space increase – allocate more
storage and if needed place order for new storage
• Too much effort is for ongoing example: 60% is
ongoing 40% projects (infrastructure domain)

We will present data on General
products and vendors:
1. Israeli vendors rating – state of the current market focused on the
enterprise market (not SMB)
 X – Market penetration (sales + installed base+ clients
perspective)
 Y – is X plus localization, support, development center, number
and kind of integrators, etc.
 Worldwide leaders marked, based on global positioning
 Vendors to watch: Are only just entering Israeli market or
making a big change so can’t be positioned but should be
watched
 Represents the current Israeli market and not necessarily what we
recommend to our clients
2. Products and selected resellers / implementers
 The location within the list is random

54

We will present data on General
products and vendors (cont.)
3. Selected installations of products – projects in different stages ,
production,implementation, after decision…

4. Service as ranked by users . I asked users – “which SI do you
recommend in this category” and counted the result.

5. Analysis by international and Israeli analysts
 This complete information (1 to 5) should be used together,
combined with the specific circumstances of each case when
making a decision
