Editor's Notes
- A Real Time Infrastructure (RTI) is an IT infrastructure shared across customers, business units or applications, where business policies and service-level agreements (SLAs) drive its dynamic and automatic optimization to reduce costs, while increasing agility and quality of service. Sharing peaks and valleys in capacity drives higher utilization rates, reducing hardware and associated maintenance costs. Inherent to RTI is management at the higher IT service level, with resource management performed dynamically and automatically to reduce IT management labor costs and complexity. For resources to be managed more dynamically, they must be designed by resource suppliers to be self-managed and self-configured. This is being developed for infrastructure hardware and software, and the speed at which this occurs will be a gating factor for achieving labor savings through RTI. Optimization ensures efficiency of resource usage and tuning, while meeting business priorities and SLAs. Also, the agility of IT improves because resources can be easily and quickly reallocated and re-purposed to meet changing business requirements. RTI has three value propositions expressed as business goals: Reduced costs, achieved by better and more efficient use of resources and by reduced system-management (labor) costs; improved service levels, achieved by dynamic adjustments or tuning of IT services; and increased agility, achieved by rapid provisioning of new services or resources and scaling of established services. IAM cloud services can support such an environment with functional capabilities well-known to enterprise IAM users. Key Issue: What are the trends impacting the future of Infrastructure and Operations?
