Taking control and reducing the cost your data infrastructure

Kevin Ashby

Enterprise Platform Modernization

• Locked in to shrinking ecosystem • Future tied to single OEM• Baby Boomers with essential skills retiring and

not being replaced• Saving c 40% from Unix migrations• Savings 35-90% mainframe migrations

Reducing Costs from Mainframe / Unix

Custodians of invaluable business data, intelligence, processesCharacterized by scalability, reliability, availability, and cost.Mainframe Systems – System z, Bull, ICL, Tandem, Unisys, etc.Midrange Systems – AS/400, HP3000, OpenVMS, Solaris, HP-UX, Dynix, etcApplications- COBOL, PL/I, CICS, DB2, IMS, JCL, RPG, Natural, Adabas, Oracle

The right decision at the time

However – The Landscape has Changed

Benefits to customers•  Reduce IBM Mainframe Licensing Costs by

50% to 90% − Cut the cost of MIPS− Reallocation this to new development to address

business needs• Improve Efficiency and Performance by up

to 90% and maximise use of existing assets • Fit Your Infrastructure to Your Business with

the next-generation Web and Application Platform− Port v Rewrite

Challenges Facing Businesses

Maximize existing investments by making the most of what you already have. Not always a Migration Integration, Interoperability

Make strategic new investments that will bring tangible returns and save you money. BI to wrap around existing data sources Data Marts, extending existing data

stores such as Teradata

Consolidate Data Systems

• Rationalise data platform• Rationalize hardware• Cut energy consumption• Reduce real estate

requirements• Lower administrative

overhead• SQL Server DBAs manage over 3 times as

many databases as Oracle DBAs• Annual cost of administering an Oracle

database is over 3 ½ times of that for SQL Server

Modernization Roadmap

Phase out unneeded applications to constrain maintenance costs

Leave the data transactions as is, implementing new capabilities outside the mainframe, mid range, Unix Server

If your solution is meeting your needs but needs to be on a more cost effective platform you can rehost

If your solution is not providing differentiation, it is often more cost effective to replace with commercially available applications

If your system is not meeting your needs, you can recreate the desired application on a modern platform

Case

Study

Wanted to reduce the expense of their (RISC) based UNIX platform for SAP

Migrated from UNIX and Oracle to Microsoft SQL Server™ 2005

Migrating from Oracle cut cost by 41%

Enhanced performance over the previous UNIX system

Increased responsiveness gives them a competitive edge
