Consolidation – Taking Back Control
Consolidation lets us change the organic – sporadic unmanaged growth and revert it to a purpose built DatacenterConsolidation can reduce operational risk, lower cost, and free resourcesThe consolidation process looks at all areas of running and operating application infrastructures – rationalises and merges where appropriate

What Is MSA?
Prescriptive and Architectural technical guidance designed to help in
Planning
Building
Deploying
Operating
In Consolidation – MSA is the blueprint for the end-state – It is what you consolidate to

Key TradeoffsLess physical devices to managePotential cost savings in hardware, software, and supportSimpler solution that will enable managed growth
Isolation of servicesFor security or administrative reasonsIncompatibilities with other services
Servers belong to separate departmental budgetsDifferent SLA requirements for applicationsBusiness Need to locate resources closer to the usersPolitical Pressure that is insurmountable

Partners Are Key To MSA
Extend the MSA guidance
Adapt MSA guidance for globalizationSystem Integrators
Language
Hardware
Cover Scenarios that are tailored to their specific markets using MSA as base
Open invitation to all partners – hardware, software, services to join programme
The Unisys Enterprise RoadmapUnisys adds value to the MSA baseline
Consolidation – From 74 servers to 46 to 2
From 74 instances of the operating system to 46 to 40
Disaster Recovery – global site load balancing, geographic clustering and fail over
Extended applications testing – Microsoft Exchange, Business Intelligence, OLTP database
Secure heterogeneous consolidation tier – Exchange, SQL, ISV applications
Single console management – servers, applications, OS (Sentinal)
End-to-end services – business blueprints, applications development, infrastructure planning, and implementation

Consolidation Tools
Application Asset Manager (AAM): Process Discovery and Analysis
Agent invoked to non-invasively discover running databases, applications, associated dependencies and performance characteristics on standalone servers
Validates runtime applications revision levels and system resource utilization
Generates reports that highlight opportunities for application/database consolidation and application co-existence
Consolidated Server Sizer (CS Sizer)Provides an automated means to estimate system component/configuration requirements
Facilitates the definition of systems, partitions, and workloads in order to arrive at an estimate of system configuration
Addresses sizing issues for several types of business needs

General ConsiderationsMemory limitations
Storage Group and Mailbox Store hierarchy
ClusteringFailing to an active node: NOT RECOMMENDED
Keep SG limitation in mind when planning!
Tuning and PerformanceDisk Cache Usage
Disk Layout Planning
Database Cache
See http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/techinfo/deployment/2000/e2ksp2_cluster.asp for detailed deployment info
SQL Server 2000
Take advantage of SQL Server’s built-in processor affinity
Set each SQL Server instance’s Maximum memory limit so that memory is left for other applications
AWE and SQL Server
See http://ntlab.unisys.com/cmpguide/oltpsql.htm for more deployment guidelines
BizTalk Server 2000
Dedicate a separate SQL Server instance to BizTalk, especially when in a cluster
If clustered, put SQL Server, MSDTC, and BizTalk all in same cluster group
Or change registry to set dependencies
See: http://www.microsoft.com/biztalk/techinfo/deployment/2000/DeplyCon.doc for more deployment guidelines
