12 How did we get here? Lessons learned from virtualisation, Web 2.0 and Cloud Compting

13 Question: What percentage of IT departments have implemented some type of hardware or software virtualization in the past three years? Question: What percentage expect to do more virtualization in the future? Virtualisation Questions

14 Vendors and Types of Virtualisation Hardware Memory Storage Operating Systems Applications Appliances Machines Data Desktops Networks VMware Microsoft VirtualIRON Xen Citrix ZENworks

15 Question: What percentage of IT departments have deployed Web 2.0 applications and/or Cloud services (Google Apps, Salesforce, Oracle CRM, RackSpace, Amazon, Azure) in the past three years? Question: What percentage expect to investigate or deploy more Web 2.0 applications and/or Cloud services? Web 2.0 and Cloud Questions

16 Cloud Clients (browser or application) Cloud Applications (Software as a Service) Salesforce, Google Apps, Oracle CRM On Demand,... Cloud Platforms (Platform as a Service) Google, IBM, RackSpace, Amazon, Microsoft,... Cloud Infrastructure (Infrastructure as a Service) - platform virtualization Private Clouds Public Clouds Community Clouds (Google's Gov. Cloud) Hybrid Clouds Storage Clouds Federated Clouds Types of Clouds

17 Question: What are the top reasons organisations around the world are implementing Virtualisation, Web 2.0 applications and Cloud solutions? The Top Two Answers : Lower Cost and Simplicity Lack of flexibility of legacy applications High upgrade costs and failure rates Operating system and application dependencies and incompatibilities Incomplete, overdue projects Unacceptable risks Personnel movement Difficulty in finding trained and competent IT staff Extra text. Why Virtualisation, Web 2.0 and Cloud?

18 Agility Cost Device and location independence Multi-tenancy Low barrier to entry Low management overhead Immediate access to broad range of operating systems and applications Reliability (business continuity and disaster recovery) Scalability Security and Auditing Maintenance Metering Added flexibility and agility to the existing computing infrastructure Improved hardware usage Pooled and share computing resources Simplifed hardware management Increased fault tolerance Better options for real-time back-up of important business data Lower total cost of ownership No capital up-front costs, no hardware maintenance, no office space requirements, no hardware or software going out of date, no backup issues. No server rooms, air conditioning, infrastructure, fewer IT staff focused on supporting hardware/software/servers Access to infrastructure from anywhere. Consolidation of hardware/servers. Create additional, new, production and/or test environments on demand. Lower licensing costs. Test disaster recovery processes. Ability to maintain 24/7 operations. What are the avantages of virtualisation, Web 2.0 Applications and the Cloud?

19 Simplify and replace complexity Standardise processes across mutiple systems Virtualise everything you can Change your delivery method Extra text. Lessons Learned from Virtualisation, Web 2.0 and Cloud?

20 It’s not just the “what”, It’s the “how” that brings market disruption!

21 1993 – Apple Launches the Newton “This astonishing new invention has room for your whole world but fits in your pocket. It manages your days, your names, and your numbers. It sends faxes and replaces your pager. It makes writing readable. It can draw even if you can’t. It talks to computers and printers. And what you don’t know, there’s a good chance it does.” A COMPLETE FAILURE! The failure of Complexity!

22 2001 – Apply Launches the iPod “1000 songs in your pocket!” A HUGE SUCCESS The success of SIMPLICITY! WHY? The iPod was an elegant and simple portable digital music player that anyone could use. It had none of the complexity of the MP3 players that were crammed with features and functions and buttons and software that was difficult to master. 72% market share. More than 100 million units sold as of March, 2007. The iPod is one of the world’s most popular consumer brands.

23 A change in process defined the disruption What caused the success of the Model T? A huge success. Launched in 1908. In 1914, Ford produced more Model T cars than all other manufacturers combined. Success was not only because of the vehicle – it was in the how! The simplicity of the assembly line and the standardisation of the manufacturing process brought reliability, quality and replicability to the car manufacturing process..

24 Another change in process, another disruption What is the biggest enabler of international commerce today? Standardised shipping containers. But not the containers themselves - the standardisation of the logistics of how international companies handle the containers: from the ships to the trains, to the trucks, to the destination. Not the product, but the simplicity of the process..

25 eControl’s Objectives: Reduce Complexity Focus on Simplicity

26 Mergers Acquisitions Consolidations Migrations Expansion Outsourcing IT Waste Compliance Security Audits Costly Training Lack of Control Complexity New Systems Upgrades Multiple Systems Multiple Applications What causes IT complexity? High Costs Inefficiencies

27 Multiple management apps magnify IT complexity? SUSE Linux Yast PHP LDAP Admin Novell iManager Novell ConsoleOne Novell NWAdmin RedHat Config User Solaris Management Center Oracle, Peoplesoft, SAP and SQL management consoles … and how many more? Active Directory Users and Computers Exchange 2003 Management Console Exchange 2007 Management Console Exchange 2010 Management Console (requires 64-bit desktop) OpenLDAP Administration Application Other LDAP Administrator Applications How many different complex administrations are used to manage accounts every day?

28 Simplify and replace complex, old-style, proprietary applications that were designed by engineers to be used by well-trained, expensive IT administrators and engineers. Standardise account management, provisioning, user self- service and auditing across all systems with a single Web 2.0 application. Virtualise account administration management based on role-based access to manage, provision and provide user self- service across multiple systems. Deliver account management as a private cloud service. Introducing IT Security and Account Management 2.0

29 eControl Create: role-based tasks for provisioning (single, bulk or automated) across multiple systems: Who can create accounts What types of account In which systems In which OUs, databases, LOB applications With which parameters With which type of role(s) and/or group membership(s) Bulk or automatically provision accounts based on information exported from a database or provided by a web service from a Human Resources or student management system Step One: Simplify, Virtualise and Automate Account Provisioning

30 eControl Manage: role-based account management tasks (single or bulk) across multiple systems Who can manage which accounts. In which systems, OUs, directories, email systems, databases, LOB applications With which read-only or read-write options Modify values based on a CSV file exported from a database or provided by a web service from a human resources or student management system Step Two: Simplify, Standardise and Virtualise Account Management

31 eControl Self-service: across multiple systems Who can access account activation services Who can access password self-service Who can access other user self-service functions Across which which systems, OUs, directories, email systems, databases, SQL and other LOB applications For which information With which read-only or read-write options Step Three: Simplify, Standardise and Virtualise User Self-service

32 eControl Audit: across multiple systems a common audit system across all administration applications and target systems who can access the Audit Portal what parts of the Audit Portal they can access who can create and/or export reports who can export the audit logs from the audit system Step Four: Simplify, Standardise and Virtualise Security Audit Functions

33 eControl Demonstration

34 eControl allows you to: Shift IT operations to more efficient delivery methods Free up IT staff to focus on high-level, high-value, strategic IT operations Delegate account provisioning and management to HR and/or the Help Desk Deliver account administration as a private cloud service Focus on simplified integrated account management Reduce application-specific complexity and user error Dynamically scale services based on need Automate processes Deliver agility, reliability and replicability IT Security and Account Management 2.0

35 eControl – more than just a disruptive product? Forrester Research Quote (2010) “Forrester fully expects to see the emergence of highly secure and trusted cloud services over the next five years, during which time cloud security will grow into a $1.5 billion market and will shift from being an inhibitor to an enabler of cloud services adoption. The advent of secure cloud services will be a disruptive force in the security solutions market, challenging traditional security solution providers to revamp their architectures, partner ecosystems, and service offerings, while creating an opportunity for emerging vendors, integrators, and consultants to establish themselves.”.

36 eControl is a disruptive platform! eControl’s success is not the result of WHAT eControl does, it’s the result of HOW it does it. The eControl platform delivers simplicity and brings disruptive, cost effective account provisioning, management, user self- service, audit services across multiple systems and applications. eControl - the success of simplicity!.
