Entering the Third Generation of IT:

The Mobile-cloud era

Mainframe Client-Server Mobile-Cloud Era

Automation of accounting Automation of paper processes Virtualizing & automating all of IT

Thousands of apps Tens of thousands of apps Tens of millions of apps

Millions of users Hundreds of millions of users Billions of users

Terminals Personal computers Mobile devices

Iconic App: Automated payroll Iconic App: ERP Iconic App: To be determined!

IT mantra: “Control” IT mantra: “Build silos” IT mantra: IT-as-a-Service

The Mobile-Cloud Era: New challenges for IT

• Continuous application

development and deployment

• Explosion of data volume,

velocity and variety

• Inefficient Infrastructure Silos

• Use of external infrastructure

resources

New expectations:

• Speed

• Choice of

services

5

Challenges of today’s IT organizations

Fear of Lock-In

Managing

heterogeneous IT

environments

New applications

types e.g. Big data,

mobile

Vendor lock-in

Inflexibility

Slow time to market

Reactive IT

organizations

Rise of “Shadow IT”

Inefficiency Downtime

Challenging to

meet SLAs

Long issue

identification /

resolution times

Security and

compliance issues

High capex and

opex

High complexity,

Siloed IT

Operational

inefficiencies

Traditional New

The road ahead

** Equinix.com blog, Cisco VNI 2011 Gartner 2009 and 2011, IDC 2011

Workloads are doubling every 4 years…

…how do we manage this growing complexity?

50x – Data managed within enterprise datacenters

44x – Storage growing from 0.8 ZB to 35 ZB in 2020

26x – Mobile data traffic growth from mobile devices

10x – Servers worldwide growth

5x – IP-based video and real time applications growth

4x – IP traffic growth

2012

By 2015

Succeeding in the mobile-cloud era require key IT capabilities

• HW-agnostic and elastic scalability

• Automated, dynamic resource assignment

with ecosystem integration

• Apps & services on-demand, with hybrid

control

• Cloud infrastructure management

Software-Defined Data Center

The ideal architecture for private,

hybrid and public clouds.

All infrastructure is virtualized

and delivered as a service, and

the control of this data center is

entirely automated by software.

Software-defined data center:

How it works

Automation

XaaS: Self-service catalog,

lifecycle management

Operations Management

Analytics-based operations enabling

self-healing, self-regulating IT

Storage & Availability Network & Security

Policy-based control &

automation of infrastructure services

Abstraction & pooling
