What’s the idea?
Our approach is: A search for the IT infrastructure best efficiency Based on Lean and 6-Sigma industry methods A balance between “Do more with less” and “Assurance of future
sustainability” An on-going process, not a one time project
And it will Show you how to optimize utilization of your IT assets Identify IT assets you can reclaimProactively make you aware of future IT resources organic
needs

What’s in it for me?
Benefits of our approach Increased efficiency Cost savings resulting in more economic provisioning of IT services Deferred expenditure Elimination of expensive panic buying Better and more informed acquisition of IT resources Less need for reactive support

Based on
LEAN
6-Sigma
Aim at power reserve targets - Improvement
Assess new situation – measure improvement
Identify servers under-utilized - Waste
See how your IT is being used – Median
Establish operational utilization levels – Goals
Our 2-phase approach to improve efficiency
Step 1: Capacity Utilization Assessment
Step 2: Tuning for best utilization
Continuous Improvement

Phase 1: Capacity Utilization Assessment
Servers that can be reclaimed Servers for consolidation - virtualization Servers over-utilized

Phase 2: Tuning for best utilization
Principles Servers don’t run at 100% capacity and should not. You want to increase resource utilization close to the target operational levels And leave just enough power reserve to prevent resource contention

Key Facts
Large European Investment Banks using the Data Synapse platform
Complex grid-computing infrastructure calculating bond rate position & derivatives
Growth rate of 800 servers per year to accommodate calculation
© ORSYP 2011 • Confidential 14
Challenges
Rapidly growing infrastructure, yet stagnating performance
Inability to visualize utilization of existing resources
Unexplainable saturation & underutilization levels throughout the grid
© ORSYP 2011 • Confidential 15
Benefits
50% increase in calculation rate per server
