Strategic Planning for Low Latent and Utility Computing

 

 

Integrasoft offers both strategic and tactical planning (in the form of Pilot Architectures) to companies that are considering, or well on their way to Enterprise Compiting Models in the form Grid, Virtualization, and Low-Latentency applications.

The move to Virtualization extends beyond the purchase of services, software, and the migration of applications. The strategic plan takes into account the larger objectives of the business and IT that is supported by a tactical delivery.

Technologies such as Grid Computing, Distributed Caches, and Complex Event Processing (CEP) is an evolution in how business extend their value to customers by offering SERVICES so efficiently that the proven economic model of supply and demand, traditionally alien to Information Technology will become standard.

The broad vision of Supply and Demand Economic Models, Business Services to Customers, and the economic wind falls of running data centers as factories is not something that happens over night. It must be planned both strategically and tactically to fit the business of each individual “Service Provider”.

There is a convergence of various technologies under the umbrella of SOA. Each offers a key component to Delivering Services to Customers and the Compute Utility.

  • Enterprise Computing
  • Data Grids
  • Compute Grids
  • Resource Provisioning
  • Event Streams - Complex Event Processing
  • Blade servers
  • High performance networks (infini band network speed, etc.)
  • Others.

Individually these represent changes in traditional application development and data center operation. With proper strategic planning the benefits are:

  • increase revenue by offering current products to a broader audience, new consumer products that before were not possible to offer
  • savings in operation costs on orders of magnitude by transforming data centers that house high cost, high maintenance vertical applications to a “factory” that produces “services” on an as needed basis. Inexpensive, highly utilized compute nodes that can be provisioned as the demand requires replaces expensive, dedicated, low utilized servers.
