3. Why? Organisations have an Application Transformation Challenge, still
The Traditional Destination has evolved
Organisations are going BiModal
Risk vs Cost – what’s your preference?
What’s your exposure?
What are we hearing that is relevant to you
General Themes
Specific Role Viewpoints

Good at conventional process/ projects
IT Centric, customer removed
Long – (months / years)

5. Win2k3 EoS / Enterprise Modernisation – Common Themes
Again, we’ve just done this on the desktop!!
Our solution works as is, why change it?
We don’t need any help, we’re all covered
This is an IT problem
This is a Business Problem
What are you trying to sell us this time?
Yes we have a problem, we don’t know how big or where to start
Another vendor trying to scare us into buying from them
We haven’t budgeted to address this
You’re no different than the other vendors
Yes we’re an ITIL shop………
Show me the value
We want this to be the last time we do this

10. Infrastructure Modernisation
Michael Loftus
Hyper-T

11. Hyper Technologies (HyperT) A Perspective on Modernization and Win 2003
Microsoft Partner
Deep expertise in Hyper-V, System Center, and core MS Platforms
Focused primarily on Consulting and On Premises Managed Service, with a “Boutique” Hosting Capability
Azure activity restricted to DR feasibility discussions thus far. Dev/Test on the horizon.
Active in Several Windows 2003 Upgrade Projects
Focused on Infrastructure – so not confronting Application Server challenges yet

12. HyperT and Infrastructure Modernization –Beliefs and Approach
Infrastructure Matters
Availability
Agility
Time to Value
Service Quality
Our Core Services
Core MS Platforms
Virtualization (server, desktop, user)
Automation and Self Service
Our Approach
Modernize
Optimize
Automate
PrivateCloud
Hybrid Cloud

13. The HyperT Migration Roadmap
s/w currency
h/w currency
supporting “glue” (DNS, AD, backup, etc)
Modernize
Optimize
Consolidate
Cluster/HA & basic DR
Point Virtualization
Manage
Automate
Advanced scripting
Task automation
Basic self service
Private Cloud
Broad virtualization
Standard builds
Orchestration
Advanced self service
Hybrid Cloud
VMM/WAP mastery
DR focus
Dev/Test pilots
Network optimization

14. Windows 2003 Initiatives- HyperT
All focused more on “point” modernization than EOL/CSA risk. Windows 2003 Remediation seen as larger challenge and not necessarily being addressed as single project by our clients.
Two separate Financial Services Engagement examples
First is moving Windows 2003 File Servers to Virtualized Windows 2012 clusters. Build out new environment, migrate data, retire old servers.
Second engagement is also a File Server/DFS-R upgrade to Windows 2012.
As you would expect, very few significant technology challenges with these migrations
In “Proposal Stage” for multiple clients starting to look at Application Servers. Initial trend is they are not interested in diagnostic tools like ChangeBase/App DNA. They seek ISV validation of support for Win 2012

15. HyperT Summary
We are absolutely committed to (and optimistic about) the prospects for private and hybrid cloud based on MS Cloud OS.
There is a need to improve understanding of networking and WAN optimization in the context of Azure and O365
We are in dialogue with a few smaller clients about moving their entire IT infrastructure Azure and O365
Client interest/demand for these migrations is driven by modernization imperatives.
Although the Windows 2003 EOL “event” is acknowledged, it does not appear to represent the major “inflection point” that we believe it is.
Not clear that patch availability as critical a concern as it should be.
