IT Infrastructure and Emerging Technologies Cost-effective, Efficient, Energy-saving Computing
Singapores regulatory system for Construction Building IT infrastructure to streamline construction permits processes CORENET COnstruction and Real Estate NETwork Construction process Design, tender documentation and selection, construction, and handover and maintenance
Building plan submission and obtaining approvals and permits 16 government authorities across eight ministries Traditional process Voluminous paper documents Manual processing Storage space needed Disorganized exchange of project information
CORENET e-submission system One-stop 24/7 counter for submission Online enquiry of submission status Quicker processing and turnaround Elimination of printing hardcopies No need to travel to multiple sites for multiple submissions
Benefits Cost savings Printing Traveling Better quality Streamlined process
5.1 IT Infrastructure 5.2 Infrastructure Components 5.3 Contemporary Hardware Platform Trends 5.4 Contemporary Software Platform Trends 5.5 Management Issues
5.1 IT Infrastructure The shared technology resources Provide the platform for the firm s specific information system applications Microsoft Operating Systems Infrastructure Services or products built on MS operation systems Word, Powerpoints, Excel, . Internet Explorer .Net
IT infrastructure A set of Physical devices Software applications Required to operate the entire enterprise
IT infrastructure Set of firmwide services including: Computing platforms providing computing services Telecommunications services Data management services Application software services Physical facilities management services IT management, standards, education, research and development services
IT infrastructure Service platform perspective is more accurate view of the value of IT investments
Evolution of IT infrastructure Five stages Different configuration of computing power and infrastructure elements.
1. General-Purpose Mainframe and Minicomputer ERA: (1959 Present) IBM 360 Online remote terminals Centralized mainframe Proprietary communication protocol Figure 5.2 eras in IT infrastructure evolution
Minicomputer Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) 1965 PDP 11, VAX machine Powerful machines at far low prices Decentralized computing
2. Personal Computer Era: (1981 to present) Xerox Alto, Apple I and II (1970s) Wintel PC Windows operating software Intel microprocessor Productivity software tools Word processing, spreadsheets, presentation software Figure 5.2 eras in IT infrastructure evolution
3. Client/Server Era (1983 to Present) Clients: Laptop and desktop Server: Powerful server computers Stores shared data Serves Web pages Managing network activities Figure 5.2 eras in IT infrastructure evolution
Network may be two-tiered or multitiered (N-tiered) Various types of servers (network, application, Web) Figure 5.3 a multitiered client/server network
4. Enterprise Computing Era (1992 to present) TCP/IP (1995) Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol Integrate disparate network and applications Link different types of computer hardware
5. Cloud and Mobile Computing Era (2000 to present) Growing bandwidth power of the Internet Client/server model Cloud Computing Access to a shared pool of computing resources Computers, storage, applications, services Accessed on an as-needed basis IBM, HP, Dell, Amazon Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Software as a Service Google, Microsoft, SAP, Oracle, Salesforce.com
Technology driver of infrastructure evolution Moore s law and Microprocessing power 1. The power of microprocessors doubles every 18 months 2. Computing power doubles every 18 months 3. The price of computing falls by half every 18 months
The Law of Mass Digital Storage The amount of digital information is roughly doubling every year
Figure 5.7 the amount of storage per dollar rise Exponentially, 1950-2012
Metcalfes law and network Economics The value or power of a network Grows exponentially as a function of the number of networked members cp.
Declining Communications costs and the Internet Utilization of communication and computing facilities explodes Figure 5.8 exponential decline in internet communication costs
Standards and Network Effects Proprietary and expensive infrastructure Technology standards Ethernet enabled PCs to connect together in small LAN TCP/IP enabled LAN to be connected to Internet Economies of scale Decline of computing cost
5.1 IT Infrastructure 5.2 Infrastructure Components 5.3 Contemporary Hardware Platform Trend 5.4 Contemporary Software Platform Trend 5.5 Management Issue
5.2 Infrastructure Components IT Infrastructure has 7 main components 1. Computer hardware platforms 2. Operating system platforms 3. Enterprise software applications 4. Data management and storage 5. Networking/telecommunications platforms 6. Internet platforms 7. Consulting system integration services
1. Computer Hardware Platform Client machines Intel, AMD microprocessors Server market Intel, AMD blade server in rack Sun SPARC IBM POWER chips
Top hardware manufacturer IBM, HP, Dell, Sun Microsystems Top chip producers Intel, AMD, IBM Mainframe IBM Giant server for massive enterprise network and corporate Web sites Equivalent to thousands of small blade servers
2. Operating System Platform Server operating systems Microsoft: 75% Unix/Linux: 25% Client operating systems Microsoft Windows operating systems Google Chrome OS: lightweight operating system for cloud comp Android IOS
3. Enterprise Software Applications SAP Oracle Middleware: BEA Linking existing systems to Enterprise Applications Microsoft
4. Data Management and Storage Leading database software IBM DB2 Oracle Microsoft SQL Server Sybase MySQL Physical data storage EMC Storage area networks (SAN) Connect multiple storage devices on a separate high-speed network
5. Networking/Telecommunications Platform Local area network operating systems Windows Linux and Unix Unix: large wide area networks TCP/IP: wide area network Leading hardware Cisco Alcatel-Lucent Nortel Juniper Network
6. Internet Platform Internet hardware server IBM, Dell, HP/Compaq Web software applications development tools Microsoft MS Expression Web, SharePoint Designer, .NET Oracle-Sun Java Adobe
7. Consulting and System Integration Service Even a large firm Does not have the staff, the skills, the budget, and the necessary experience To deploy and maintain its entire IT infrastructure Leading consulting firm Accenture, IBM Global Service, HP Enterprise Service, Infosys, Wipro Technology Software Integration Ensuring legacy systems works with new Infrastructure
5.1 IT Infrastructure 5.2 Infrastructure Components 5.3 Contemporary Hardware Platform Trend 5.4 Contemporary Software Platform Trend 5.5 Management Issue
5.3 Contemporary Hardware Trend 1. Mobile digital platform 2. Consumerization of IT & BYOD 3. Grid computing 4. Virtualization 5. Cloud computing 6. Green computing 7. High performance/power-saving processors 8. Autonomic computing
1. The Mobile digital platform Smartphones Have assumed data transmission, Web surfing, e-mail and IM duties Netbooks: Small, low-cost lightweight notebooks optimized for wireless communication and core computing tasks Tablets (iPad) Networked e-readers (Kindle)
2. Consumerization of IT & BYOD first emerges in the consumer market spread into business organization (bring your own device) IT department lose control of hardware & software Network security Right to access
3. Grid computing Connects geographically remote computers into a single network to combine processing power and create virtual supercomputer Provides cost savings, speed, agility 4. Virtualization Allows single physical resource to act as multiple resources (i.e., run multiple instances of OS) Reduces hardware and power expenditures Facilitates hardware centralization
5. Cloud computing On-demand (utility) computing services obtained over network Infrastructure as a service Platform as a service Software as a service Cloud can be public or private Allows companies to minimize IT investments Drawbacks: Concerns of security, reliability
6. Green computing Practices and technologies for manufacturing, using, disposing of computing and networking hardware Reducing computer power consumption 7. Autonomic computing Industry-wide effort to develop systems that can configure, heal themselves when broken, and protect themselves from outside intruders self-updating antivirus software; Apple and Microsoft both use automatic updates
8. High performance, power-saving processors Multi-core processors Simultaneous processing of multiple tasks Reduced power consumption Highly power-efficient microprocessor ARM (Advanced RISC Machine) Apple s A4 Intel s Atom
