3 rd EGEE Conference – Athens, Greece On Demand Business An on demand business is an enterprise whose business processes — integrated end-to-end across the company and with key partners, suppliers and customers — can respond with speed to any customer demand, market opportunity or external threat. Insights about becoming an On Demand Business: 1. Increased componentization of the overall business and its processes 2. Applications becoming increasingly modular 3. Need for IT Simplification of the underlying infrastructure. 2 Grid Computing in the Enterprise | April 2005 © 2005 IBM Corporation

3 rd EGEE Conference – Athens, Greece Why is IT Simplification so important? Cost of People vs. Spending on new systems* Spending “Data centers have become so fragile that administrators are fearful to touch the existing infrastructure, since any changes may set off a series of events that can bring a company to its knees. Consequently, many enterprises are restricted in deploying innovative applications that could potentially create competitive advantage. ” $200 35 $180 $160 30 $140 25 $120 20 $100 $80 The Yankee Group*** January 5, 2005 15 $60 24 -hour Period Utilization Peak-hour Utilization Prime-shift Utilization Mainframes 85 -100% 70% 60% UNIX 50 -70% 10 -15% <10% Intel-based 30% 5 -10% 2 -5% Storage N/A 52% 7 Installed Base (M Units) (USB$) Grid Computing in the Enterprise | April 2005 10 $40 5 $20 $0 1996’ 97 ’ 98 ’ 992000’ 01 ’ 02 ’ 03 ’ 04 ’ 05 ’ 06 ’ 07 ’ 08 New server spending (USM$) 3% CAGR Cost of mgmt. & admin. 10% CAGR *Source: IDC, On-Demand Enterprises and Utility Computing: A Current Market Assessment and Outlook, IDC #31513, July 2004. ** Source: IBM Scorpion White Paper: Simplifying the Corporate IT Infrastructure 2000 ***Source: The Yankee Group, Considerable Savings Are Possible Using Grid and Virtualization Technologies, Research Notes, Corsello, Jason.
