- 2. The Mega Trends n The three iron laws of IT that drive infrastructure n Cloud Computing as seen from above n Integrated Systems: why the infrastructure of the future looks a lot like the infrastructure of the past!
- 3. Moore’s Law n Massive growth in computation, dramatic decline in unit cost n Problem is no longer CPU power or processing costs n Issues are power efficiency, utilisation and I/O performance n Number of cores doubles every 18 months n 10 core x64 CPUs today n 200+ cores/blade enclosure n Tri-gate transistors, better power and performance n Fortunately DBMS, App Server & Web Servers and Hypervisors already scale to 100’s of cores!

- 6. Shugart’s Law n Cost per bit halves every 18 months n About 37% pa or 10% per quarter n Delaying 1 quarter can save you 10% n Constrains storage capital costs n On a 4 year H/W lifecycle a flat budget supports 60%pa data growth n Has enabled massive storage growth but… n Management complexity n Performance issues n 3TB SATA this year n How do you exploit large, slow, cheap drives n Performance becomes is an issue n Oracle ASM

Greater I/O flexibility from dynamic Integrate into the existing FC & n n sharing of a higher bandwidth, Ethernet infrastructures common transport layer n Displace FC switches over time n Capacity can be optimised and used more effectively
- 11. Cloud Computing • Different ways of thinking about the cloud • How do clients view “The cloud”? • What does the business want
- 12. Cloud as Technology • Virtual machines • Clusters • Multi-tenancy • Internet • Web Protocols Its time to stop thinking about the Cloud as a technology
- 13. Cloud as Services n What is the cloud? • IaaS • PaaS • SaaS • Public/private Think about the Cloud as an aspiration to create a “better IT environment”
- 14. Cloud as Capabilities Self-Service Commodity Cost pricing Transparency Location & Capacity on Device Demand Independence Utility Pricing Think about Cloud as new capabilities that are aligned to the business’ needs
- 15. The Cloud asa Journey n Levels of capability • Where are you now? • Where do you need to be? • Strategy for getting there? Think of the Cloud as a journey to these new capabilities. Where do I start and where do I stop?
- 16. What are clientsthinking • The cloud is not clearly defined in user’s minds • Each vendor defines it around their own product sets • It means very different things to different people • IaaS, SaaS, Public, Private etc • Many business and IT people are uncomfortable with • Security, governance, compliance & cost • Often this is perception, rather than reality Potential for significant misunderstandings between users, vendors and partners
- 17. What does thebusiness want? • They are interested in the benefits of the cloud not the technology, i.e., • A more agile, more efficient IT infrastructure • Increased robustness, i.e., HA, DR, Continuous Operations • Transforming IT from a CapEx intensive fixed asset to a OpEx based utility • Self-service, transparent pricing Talk about Service Capabilities and Benefits, not Technology Features and Functions

- 20. Layered Components n Started in ‘80s with Open Systems n Layers defined by standards n Pros: Vendor competition drives n Lower component cost n Innovation at each layer n Drawbacks: IT becomes an SI! n Defines specs, n Integrates components, n Maintains integration across disparate product lifecycles System integration costs and times now outweigh the benefits of competition
- 21. Integrated Systems n Still use open standards and commodity components n A “Systems Architecture”, not just “Factory Integration” n Who can do this? n IBM, HP, Dell & Oracle n Who is at risk n Cisco, EMC, NetApp n All the niche component players Get out of the SI business and buy end-to-end designs from a single trusted systems vendor

- 28. Questions 1. Transition from one model to the other is always the most difficult as it is a 'sunk cost' While Integrated system may be better overall, the huge existing investment means transition costs are a major barrier. 2. What is the current take up/trend of the major Australian FI's around Oracle's Integrated System model 3. With an integrated model won't we loss some of the functionality offered by the Best-of-Breed solutions? 4. How would you rate the ease of upgrading each of the different stacks as the technologies on each stack improve over time? 5. Integration with other vendor technologies and ability to use historical infrastructure 6. How involved do you get when choosing an integrated solution. How much control do you give away ? Main concern is poor Oracle support
- 29. Questions 1. What type of resources are needed to support the Integrated systems model 2. Should Customers be more concerned about vendor lock in when following an integrated systems model? If not, why not? 3. By removing the Design and Integration layers of the model, how can we ensure the technologies align with business requirements? Is there an expectation that the business will follow the technology? 4. What plans does Oracle have to eliminate complexity of licensing and provide financial incentive to leverage an integrated stack ? Why the Oracle licencing model is so complex? Why is Oracle so expensive? 5. Is going Oracle to support small business or target Corporate clients only?
