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.
