Is it really this complicated?


Discussion points

1. How do I accurately identify current application estate?2. Applications and versions in the estate, what can I do with them? 3. What workloads do I need to account for in my estate transformation?4. How will I create my ‘Golden Images’?5. What will my end-state transformation model look like?


Application discovery and rationalization


Users drive applications, applications drive workload, workload drive models

So many application questions; so little time

What applications can I retire?

How do applications impact performance?

Which applications are used?

How are my applications used?

How does my application usage impact storage?

How should I deliver my applications?

What applications and versions are in my estate?

How do I consolidate my application images?


Discovering & rationalizing applications


What does HP deliver?

Built-in application virtualization assessment facilitates packaging. Retarget packages to latest versions Image plan is automatically updated based on application attributes.

Reduce migration cost with application image consolidationRelationships between golden images are discovered.


Workload analysis


So many workload questions

What is my time correlated workload?

How do I account for different PC architectures?

How do I account for LOB differences in workload?

How does my workload impact infrastructure options?

How do I best optimize workload for ROI?

What is my concurrent workload?

What is my current workload?

What workloads are most important in transformation?

HP provides application / workload Insights• What applications can be rationalized / retired ?• Which ones would thrive in a virtualized environment? • Which applications will have problems if virtualized?

HP provides User workload Insights • Which user environments should be included in transformation? • What types of users and mobility is in the environment• Identifies your user load in comparison to marketing definitions, Task workers,

knowledge workers, etc

HP provides estate transformation Options workload Insights Which client architectures may be best suited for my transformation?Capacity workload Insights • How much CPU, memory, power, and I/O am I currently consuming in my datacenter /

environment? • What are the requirements that your back-end infrastructure needs to be able to

handle?


Image modeling


So many modeling questions

How do I model for best performance/ROI ratio?

Where can I consolidate models?

How do I account for one off (homegrown) applications in my models?

How do I right-size my models?

How do I aggregate models across regions?

How can I model for LOB?

What should I consider for my models?


Unique images



Build use models based on actual OS (32 or 64-bit), install and application use, printers, and driversRationalize applications and identify candidates for remediationUser communities are sorted by app demand into potential user groupsTrack executable usage and discovers executable-to-package relationships.

Andrew Cain, systems engineer IV in the IT Systems Engineering Group at KCP&L a full-service energy provider.

“We needed to reduce IT operating costs to continue providing our customers with the service they expect, but lacked the information on how to successfully implement client virtualization technologies. With the combination of HP’s service and Lakeside SysTrack software, we were able to better understand our IT environment to more efficiently embrace virtualization, allowing for greater response time to our customers’ needs.”
