Enterprise Computing Strategies This gig is bigger than grid: from HPC to service orientation John Barr [email protected] +44 7988 764900 Research Director Financial Markets OGF22 Boston Enterprise Computing Strategies • • • • ECS: what is it? ECS Report findings ECS Directions EU Grid Research What is ECS? • Builds on The 451 Group’s Grid Adoption Research Service – relationships with 250+ early adopters • Grid is the starting point, but not the end point • Insight into early adopter trends in FSI and other verticals • Published reports, industry summits, surveys, advisory services Where we’ve been: Grid Deployment Model Where we’re going: ECS Evolution Roadmap Enterprise Computing Strategies Business Drivers : 2003-06 (cross vertical) Time to Market Competition Do New Things Save Money Improved Performance 26% 41% 49% 57% 77% Business Drivers : 2007 (FSI) Drivers - drill down Grid Maturity Deployment Strategies • Creation of enterprise utilities is driving adoption. • Competitive advantage and growth remain key individual drivers. • Driving out cost is a constant. • It’s a multidimensional world. • No right answer. • Groups with the widest range of activities and assets are using grids to integrate them horizontally. • Grid is a platform for running new workloads as shared services. Virtualization and Grids Virtualization and Grids: Vectors Intersect Elegantly • Convergence of grids, multicore and virtualization = profound effects. • It is a fundamental driver of change. • Not just a speed bump. • Virtualize everything? • Making on-demand capacity access from third-party service providers more viable. • End of grid? Enterprise and Public Utility Grids and Enterprise Utility a sweet spot • Shared IT infrastructure = maturity of process. • Requires groups of like-minded people • Leading adopters applying ‘Gridonomics’. • So is IT a profit center or not? • So what’s the unit of measure? – Federal Reserve – NYSE • SaaS and open source are additive, self-service is a driver. • Can it cope with fast markets? Grids and Public Utility Computing: coming • Emphasis on flexibility and utilization as banks max out space. • Users with enterprise utilities are more likely to examine hosted in-house/outsourcing options. • Maturity of technology (like virtualization) and pricing models. • Growing ISV appetite to support utility models. • The Amazon effect. • Grids deliver economies of scale for next-generation hosting providers = increased adoption. • How is it being used? Grids and Public Utility Computing: But Hold Your Horses • Multi-tenanted resources/security/transparency/latency. • On-demand, per-use pricing, software licensing. • SaaS pricing complexity, lack of application services. • Capex to opex - loss of budget predictability. • Immaturity of pricing models. • Back in the conversation- won’t be an 'all or nothing' play • Cost vs. in-house.A lot of marketing, but not yet a market. Challenges : 2003-06 (cross-sector) Semantic Web Skills Shortage App Dev 1% 14% 15% Lack of Standards 18% Prove ROI 18% Grid to Utility 19% Grid to SOA 19% Grid Enabling Apps Security Data Mgmt 20% 28% 31% Cultural 33% Bandwidth 33% Licensing 46% Challenges: 2008 (FSI) A Market in Transition • Early adopters moving from Level 4 towards Level 6 in IT Evolution Model • Integrating compute and datagrid • Intersection of grids and virtualization • Open source road crash? • Applying ‘Gridonomics’ • Eco-Efficient IT – Corporate governance, taxation, legislation • Cloud computing – Use of enterprise and public utility models • Emphasis on flexibility and utilization as FSI users max out space It’s not just Grid The 451 Group in Europe • Significant European Union Grid research investment • EU Commission is our client • 451 Project involvement • NESSI, Challengers Initiative – help to define the research agenda Conclusions • Enterprise Computing Strategy – Evolution of Grid – Cloud? • Improve connection of research to industrial exploitation Enterprise Computing Strategy FSI Summit Hosting Transformation Summit London, June 3-5 2008 John Barr [email protected] OGF22 Boston
