3 >Pricing: to clients must be competitive VS benchmarks >Service quality: reliability, business impact, service restoration >IT capabilities: build for competitive advantage, good is “good enough” versus customization >Risk management: Understand security requirements/ entitlements, protect against accidental acts >Team/organization: right people and right partners Could these metrics be your Scorecard? 40K servers, 50K MIPS, 20+ PB, Virtual and Physical Data Center Consolidation And Automation Copyright © 2010 CA Delivering Success

4 Consolidation Automation Optimization Dynamic Typical Virtualization Deployment 4Copyright © 2010 CA. All rights reserved. Where are you? Where do you want to be? Dev and Test Limited Production Extensive Production Enterprise Platform Management “Tipping Points” Physical + Virtual management is a key requirement...an Enabling Technology for Consolidation

5 Internal Cloud Efficiencies: Automation is Key >Creation and management of resource pools  Template based provisioning of physical and virtual machines  Image based provisioning of applications and middleware  Define configuration policies to govern specific resources or the entire pool >Discovery and tracking of virtual machines to control sprawl  Resource tracking and inventory reporting >Self service reservation portal to reduce costs  Define and manage standard service offerings  Integrated chargeback and usage tracking >Support for bursting to public clouds  Amazon EC2 support >Capacity Management  Usage, utilization and forecast reporting within and across pools Key Technology Requirements

6 Getting Started on Consolidation A dynamic data center can deliver cloud benefits... … and more as long as they are linked Cloud-Like Benefits -Agility -Efficiency -Business alignment Optimize operations; Contain costs Mission objectives Datacenter Automation End-to-End Monitoring Virtualization Management Identity Federation/ Single Sign-On Service Catalog/ Self-Service Cost/Consumption Transparency Virtualization Service Portfolio Management Service Level Management
