The Abstracted View
• Identity• Application • Data• Presentation/Delivery
![Page 19: The IT Infrastructure I want & why – A Personal Perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070501/56816964550346895de120db/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Identity
• From our roles• Employee• Colleague• Customer• Prospective Customer• Family member• Myself• Anonymous
Business equates to confidentialPersonal equates to confidentialProspective & anonymous equates to shared
![Page 20: The IT Infrastructure I want & why – A Personal Perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070501/56816964550346895de120db/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Application
• May be shared or personal– Configuration
![Page 21: The IT Infrastructure I want & why – A Personal Perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070501/56816964550346895de120db/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Data
• Business – confidential• Personal – private• Who do you trust with your data?• What data is yours?• Profiling
![Page 22: The IT Infrastructure I want & why – A Personal Perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070501/56816964550346895de120db/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Presentation/DeliveryUltra Light Work
• For me to be able to work I just need a reasonably maintained PC and my work one time PIN generator
• This gives me access to a virtual private network (VPN) or to a virtual work station
• A great mobile solution providing there is some hardware to use (and no key loggers)
![Page 23: The IT Infrastructure I want & why – A Personal Perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070501/56816964550346895de120db/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Presentation/DeliveryMobile Devices for Nomads
• Basic phone & text (text based services)• Email client• Internet – iPhone impact• Storage – 8Gb phones (5 films @ 1.5 Gb!)• Camera• Location / GPS / co-location• Geiger counter• Projector• Keyboard• Power• IdentityJust enough real estate to do the jobCheap enough for the mass market
![Page 24: The IT Infrastructure I want & why – A Personal Perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070501/56816964550346895de120db/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Presentation/DeliveryI Just Want
• Can I use devices provided– In a hotel– On a plane – On a train??– In a coffee shop– In a bookstore??I don’t bring my own media
![Page 25: The IT Infrastructure I want & why – A Personal Perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070501/56816964550346895de120db/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Presentation/DeliveryIf I’m Shopping
• Some of my own data is useful– Shopping lists– Cupboard & fridge contents– Comparative prices
![Page 26: The IT Infrastructure I want & why – A Personal Perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070501/56816964550346895de120db/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Presentation/DeliveryShopping Offers
If the store knows that I am shopping it could...• Pre-pack my basic shop• Prepare my basic shop while I look for other
stuff• Personalise offers• Allow me to browse the store from the trolley
or in store• Pre-order to collect...
![Page 27: The IT Infrastructure I want & why – A Personal Perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070501/56816964550346895de120db/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Can I Be Anonymous Ever Again?
• There are some simple common themes– Role and identity– Application– Data– Much of what is happening today
ties these together?
![Page 28: The IT Infrastructure I want & why – A Personal Perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070501/56816964550346895de120db/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Other Consolidation
• Cash cards and pre-payment• Cards and tickets• Media and solid state memory• USB Sticks and secure storage
![Page 29: The IT Infrastructure I want & why – A Personal Perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070501/56816964550346895de120db/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Current Industry Trends• MESH• The view of central infrastructure will continue be virtualised
away from the hardware and the applications• End user hardware will continue to evolve and increase in
functionality• Decrease in hardware costs will enable wider use of IT based
services• Standard based environments for automated maintenance• Embedded computing will increase
– We will see some limited function operating systems– Limited function languages being used to deliver niche application
functionality

So What?
• As an Architect you have a key role• Infrastructure maturity– Mature in the data centre – Still immature almost every where else
• One Certainty – it’s going to continue to evolve
![Page 31: The IT Infrastructure I want & why – A Personal Perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070501/56816964550346895de120db/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
What Will Persist
• Identity – Roles change
• Data– The Key– Applications and Presentation/Delivery will
continue to evolve
Step back and look forward
