What’s Your Strategy?
© Foskett Services 3
What Are You Building?
• Techies want cool, but
companies want functional
• What applications are being
supported? What do they
need?
• How can a product or
company help you do your
job?
© Foskett Services 4
Classic IT Strategy
© Foskett Services 5
Support existing
applications
Push for
transformation
Sustaining vs. Transforming
• Conflicting demand on IT
• Concern about future
relevance
• Opportunity to bring change
• Personal growth
© Foskett Services 6
Sustaining IT
• Reliability
• Support
• Performance
• Seamless growth and
adaptation
Get out of
the way
© Foskett Services 7
Transforming IT
• Efficiency
• Automation
• Integration
• Cool toys
Make an
impact
© Foskett Services 8
Considering Products…
Is it sustaining or
transformational?
© Foskett Services 9
Looking at Sustaining Products
© Foskett Services 10
Sustaining Products
• Start with support - call them
and see who answers
• Consider the pedigree of the
company and product
• Separate hardware and
software considerations
Must be
reliable
© Foskett Services 11
Sustaining Product Clues
• Hypervisor
• Virtualization
• FC/NAS
• Converged infrastructure
• VSAN
© Foskett Services 12
Commodities
the datacenter went from dozens
of CPU architectures to just one
storage went from dozens of
interconnect technologies to just
a few
almost everything talks via
Ethernet
© Foskett Services 13
Virtualization
the virtual hardware platform is
the secret of server
commoditization
that every server thinks it’s
running on the same hardware
this makes whole servers a
commodity
(containerization is the same
thing)
© Foskett Services 14
Convergence
converged infrastructure pulls
everything together into “building
blocks”
server and storage are co-
located and distributed
integration is the key
© Foskett Services 15
Looking at Transformational Products
© Foskett Services 16
Transformational Products
• What was the product
designed to do?
• How old is the design? Waves
of innovation
• Look for integration above all
• Autonomous systems
Must truly
be different
© Foskett Services 17
Transformational Product Examples
• Scale-out architecture
• Sharded
• Micro-services
• Software-defined
• Cloud platforms
© Foskett Services 18
Software-Defined
you interact with your computer
hardware using software
your computer interacts with
software on a server
server software that interacts
with other server software to
configure hardware is truly
“software-defined”
© Foskett Services 19
Thank You!
