Implementing a Sun Service Optimized Data Center Program Roadmap

Building a service optimized data center is ultimately a journey and not a destination. As new solutions, technologies, and tools become available, the data center must incorporate them as quickly and seamlessly as possible. If done correctly as a part of a continuous improvement strategy, this process need not imply drastic changes and gratuitous migrations and business interruptions. The data center roadmap service is targeted at business and technology experts who want to maximize budgetary and planning cycles. The roadmap service requires joint participation from business and technology executives and from Sun’s architectural specialists. Implementing a Sun Service Optimized Data Center program roadmap is a critical strategy for envisioning how the data center will change to optimize around services while improve IT agility, security, and efficiency to gain significant competitive advantage. Developing a Sun Service Optimized Data Center program roadmap typically involves a lead architect, an engineer, and a project manager from Sun, and implies the following steps:

• Broad Portfolio of Data Center Services
• SOA Readiness Service
• N1 Optimization Workshop/Proof of Concept
• Service Management/Planning Workshop
• Operations Capability Assessment
• Data Center Assessment (Systems and Storage; Migration, Consolidation, and Architecture)
• Evaluation of current data center environment and long-term goals
• Gap analysis for goals and capabilities
• Development of a guide towards actionable steps
• Periodic reviews with key stakeholders and technology providers
