STEP 1 “The CIO has to draw the Core-Context matrix for the company.” – Geoffrey Moore ...and then IT ops can decide what to focus on to differentiate the business and what services can be provided by others.


In the future, IT won’t do everything.

But that doesn’t mean IT will do nothing.

Ideas reality capitalize


2010 4 per app

2015 36 per app

2020 120 per app

The business needs IT ops to support a 30X increase in app release frequency. How do we do this?

By aligning apps and ops objectives (or by joining the teams into one). By automation of as much as possible —automate or fall behind!

Expected automation of IT



And through the “application-defined data center” business analysts set app priority, flexing, compliance, security, data placement and resilience.


By 2020, big data-based IT management systems will be smart enough to resolve numerous issues that today require human intervention.

Today, IT can receive thousands

of alerts

In an intelligent system, all IT information is collected and

correlated

The system uses big data analysis to work out root cause and fixes

what it can

Leaving human intervention for

just those issues it can’t handle

When IT executives expect to manage hybrid business processes and applications

In the future, many apps and business processes will be hybrid: components in the data center, components from cloud providers.



0% 1-25% 26-50% 51-75% 76-100%

What percentage of your organization’s apps do you expect will be composite by 2020?

We will need tools, process and governance to manage performance, change, security and compliance across hybrid applications and business processes.

Big data will explode because it is of huge value to the business.


IT Ops needs to put in place the skills, processes and infrastructure to support structured and unstructured big data collection and analysis.

Can our infrastructure scale to meet the big data needs?

Can we manage the end-to-end security?

Can we manage the end-to-end performance?

Do we need to merge business IT and central IT?


What about the technology in the data center of 2020? Computers will be redesigned to handle real-time big data processing.

“Universal memory, the fusing of memory and storage into a single entity, has the potential to really transform a lot of how computing is done.” --Martin Fink, HP CTO and Director of HP Labs


Look out for memristors for universal storage, photonics for component interconnect, lower power consumption, and of course, smaller devices.


In the future, IT won’t do everything.

But that doesn’t mean IT will do nothing.

How will you focus to help differentiate the business?
