Our Primary Focus

Bring cost of ownership order, clarity, and directional guidance to client executives. Create credible technical alternatives for optimizing a clients present IT infrastructure. Model financial business cases to determine the positive and/or negative impacts. Offer insights based upon best practices observed from numerous study experiences.
Why clients use our services ?

Experience: 9 years and approximately 500+ client engagements worldwide Credibility: We use real customer data rather than industry metrics wherever possible Business Impact and Customer Satisfaction: Many clients go on to implement an optimized solution based largely on the recommendations we provide
Weve engaged many customers across an array of industries
Customer adoption of Emerging Optimization Technologies

The list below documents some of the major technologies that are influencing many of our clients decision making processes and their phases of adoption within the enterprise.
Awareness Experimentation Acceptance Deployment Leverage
Intel/AMD Virtualization VMware, MS HyperV, etc. Blade Packaging i.e., IBM BladeCenter Linux Open Source - Redhat, Suse, etc. Unix Basic Virtualization - LPARs System z zOS Specialty Engines zIIPs, zAAPs Storage Optimization SVC, Tivoli, etc. Unix Advanced Virtualization mPARs, VIOS, PM Database Optimization Oracle RAC, DB Stacking Cloud Computing Model Unix Workload Virtualization - WPARs
Many need help in capturing the true costs to move to, or own, one or more of these technologies !
Virtualization Rapid Assessment (VRA) Methodology

The Virtualization Rapid Assessment (VRA) Workshop Methodology which is designed to: provide a quick, insightful, technical and financial analysis of a pre-scoped Unix and/or x86 server environment via a workshop format aka VRA-U for Unix only focus
aka VRA-X for x/86 only focus aka or just plain VRA for mixed environments
help quickly determine an appropriate hosting and/or virtualization strategy designed to optimize the existing infrastructure take the technical models derived from any virtualization analysis, and build first pass, financial business cases to help understand the models cost impacts
All these elements are similar in character to those aspired to in a traditional total cost of ownership study. The difference is that a VRA favors rapidity of execution over levels of accuracy or volume of detail.

What are the key characteristics of the VRA Workshop approach

uses a single-day bang-it-out brainstorming approach vs. the elongated, and more complex multi-day interview approach. This allows the analysis team to rapidly gain consensus with the business on specific areas of opportunity. significantly streamlines the data collection and analysis process, reducing time impact on IT staff. VRA favors rapidity of execution over levels-of-accuracy overall timeline for VRA is designed to be 1 to 3 weeks maximum rather than the traditional 4 to 8 weeks of a full-length Scorpion TCO study. despite its condensed timeframe, the VRA still delivers invaluable platform decision making feedback, ultimately shortening the project time. despite being unique, the VRA still leverages the experiences, lessons learned, and ICAP from previous non-VRA studies and engagements, eg., we still use our proven Zodiac Tooling as the primary analysis tool unlike some of the more complex, multi-phased, tco analysis methods in existence, the VRA is flexible and can be streamlined or expanded, depending on required goals.

Financial Business Cases Frequently missed costs

Many key costs tend to be overlooked when looking at alternative platforms. Cost for high availability or disaster recovery Interim costs for transition hardware and transition software Cost reductions for labor/support productivity gains Cost avoidance for Facilities expansion or upgrade Cost for standalone Development/Test servers (only considering production)
Although staff is a hard cost, many view staff costs savings as soft. Also need to consider Quality of Service (QoS) differences or improvements. although these are difficult to quantify! Flexibility Speed to Market Reliability, Availability, Serviceability
17
The VRA Workshop steps through any constraints to optimization

Business and/or technical constraints to moving, consolidating, co-locating, etc. various workloads, applications, or functions into a virtualized or consolidated environment. These are the most common
LOCATION
Should assume all systems stay in their original or current location?
LOB
Can we combine systems that are in different LOBs on the same physical?
Can you help identify or validate whether these constraints exist? If so, can you help annotate the server inventory, as appropriate?
APPLICATION
Can we combine different applications or DBs on the same physical server?
FUNCTION
Can we combine App Servers, DB, Web, Infra, etc. on the same physical?
OP STATUS
Can we combine Prod with Non-Prod systems (Dev/Test/QA)?
Are there other constraints or boundaries that we need to consider? What are they?
SECURITY?
Can we combine systems that are in different zones (DMZ, VLAN, etc)?
FINANCIAL?
Are there systems that need to be grouped by certain cost factors?

Lessons learned from performing numerous financial analysis

In general we have numbers that show system cost per unit of capacity ($/MIP, $/tpm, $/Image, etc.) are decreasing staff productivity (FTEs/MIP, FTEs/server and FTEs/Image) is improving, but labor costs continue to increase as a percentage of overall cost hardware (Servers and Disk) is continuing to decrease as a percentage of overall cost over the life of a system data centers continue to grow in terms of units of capacity and O.S. image counts, but the number of images hosted per physical server is increasing software maintenance and support costs are growing and can represent as much as 40% of the total annual operating costs in an IT shop.
