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

Exploits Moore's law 20
%
Drives server consolidation
Improves utilization & power
10
efficiently 0
Leverage for HA, DR and CO
Then move to policy and automation
Mainstream but 60% have not
virtualised mission critical apps
Licencing
vSphere 5.0 changes
Application licencing
Oracle OVM
5. Database consolidation
Another way to exploit Moore‟s law
VMs vs. Instance vs. Schema
O/S & DB version
Patching and upgrading
Workload compatibility
Capacity management
6. Shugart‟s Law
Cost per bit halves every 18 months
About 37% pa or 10% per quarter
Delaying 1 quarter can save you 10%
Constrains storage capital costs
On a 4 year H/W lifecycle a flat budget
supports 60%pa data growth
Has enabled massive storage growth but…
Management complexity
Performance issues
3TB SATA this year
How do you exploit large, slow, cheap drives
Performance becomes is an issue
Oracle ASM
7. Disruption of Storage
Evolution of storage arrays
Commodity hardware, i.e., x64 servers
SATA for capacity mixed with Flash Cache for perf
Deduplication & Snapshots for storage optimisation
Clustered architecture & virtual appliances
Examples
HP Left Hand & VMware vSA
Oracle zFS fileservers
Oracle Exadata Storage for DB
IBM XIV
Disrupts current vendors/market
Like M/F vs. UNIX/RISC vs. Wintel/Lintel
Look beyond traditional modular storage
8. Storage Virtualisation
Network based storage virtualisation has limited
adoption
Additional cost is a major barrier (4K-6K/TB?)
Need to be very, very large to justify cost/benefit
Vendors: IBM (SVC), HP, EMC v-Plex
EMC new to this market the market with v-Plex
Use cases
Mostly used for data migration (SVC)
Cloud providers with unpredictable workloads.
9. Gilder's Law
Optical fiber bandwidth
doubles every 12 months
Is driving IT centralisation
Branch offices are next
What impact will the NBN
have on your WAN
strategy?
What every you believe
about networking now will
be wrong in 7 years
10. Converged Networking
Core FCoE & CEE standards ratified Barriers
Major vendors have products Existing large scale investment in Fibre
Dominant storage protocol in long-run Channel
Demand driven by workload density Cuts across server, storage and
networks silos, potentially changes the
Moore‟s Law and Virtualisation
roles and relationships of these teams.
Benefits Use an incremental adoption strategy,
Lower capital costs from lower port,
High density servers use a converged
switch and cabling requirements
network at the server edge.
Greater I/O flexibility from dynamic
Integrate into the existing FC &
sharing of a higher bandwidth,
Ethernet infrastructures
common transport layer
Displace FC switches over time
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
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 as a Journey
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 clients thinking
• 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 the business 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

19. The empire, long divided, must unite;
long united, must divide. Thus it has
ever been.

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

Fastest time to solution 16% 29% 55%
Lowest overall risk 15% 39% 46%
Lowest total cost 33% 30% 37%
About half saw clear advantage in „time to solution‟ and
„lower risk‟ but concerns about TCO remain
24. Barriers to moving to an
Integrated Systems model
Low Medium High
Application compatibility 12% 38% 50%
Existing infrastructure 10% 53% 36%
Re-engineering IT processes 17% 47% 36%
Existing technical skills 21% 49% 30%
Vendor Lock-in 21% 54% 26%
Hardware cost 38% 37% 25%
Changing IT roles 41% 42% 17%
Existing IT org structure and the investment in IT skills
and infrastructure will be the major adoption barriers
25. Two approaches to adoption
Mandate Seeding
Smaller organisations Larger organisations
CIO mandates the use of CIO seeds a “hot house”
Integrated Systems to develop new capability
Triggered by refresh of Leaves “Old IT” alone
main Infrastructure Steer specific new project
Staff skills less of an issue to the hot house
The key question becomes “when and how”.
Because …

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?
