Infrastructure Considerations 1. Availability & Uptime 2. Accessibility 3. Licensing Options 4. Security 5. Costs 6. Performance & Productivity 7. Disaster Recovery Objectives (RTO & RPO) 8. Other Business Objectives (Features & Function)

Infrastructure Options: 1. On-premise Infrastructure 2. COLO (Co-Location – your hardware at a datacenter) 3. Cloud Applications (Saa. S) 4. Hosted Infrastructure (Private Cloud) 5. Hosted Infrastructure (Public Cloud) 6. Hybrid Infrastructure

On-Premise vs Cloud - Responsibilities

Risk Considerations Evaluating threats (Business impacting Scenario’s you want to protect against) means considering options for prevention and recovery.

Likelihood of Downtime The Aberdeen Group found comparable numbers when comparing best in class companies with “average” and “laggards” in the matter of downtime and recovery.

Likelihood of Downtime According to IDG, it takes around 7 hours to resume normal operations after a data loss incident, with 18% of IT managers saying that it takes 11 to 24 hours, or even longer.

Cause of Downtime by data volume (Security Threat vectors are included in the given categories) *(Multiple responses allowed from both reports)

Batteries Not Included New Toys don’t always come with batteries

Backup Not Included Cloud solutions don’t always include Backup & DR

TCO – Costs to Consider Hardware & Infrastructure Costs: • Backup costs • Disaster Recovery costs • Disk space costs • Server(s) • SAN • Switches • Rack(s) • Power Appliances (UPS's) • Other (cables, adapters, controllers etc. ) • Cooling (Air Conditioning Unit) • Infrastructure (Square footage, power etc. ) Labor: System Administrator Salary or Third Party Contractor Labor Server install (HW + software configuration labor) Licensing: Server licensing Business Software Licensing Management & Systems Licensing Public Listings Exchange Office Phones Recurring expenses: Internet Connectivity (ISP costs) Electricity (commercial rate of $0. 06 per kw/h - public Hewlett Packard documentation for mid-range enterprise servers mean kw/h consumption per server. 40) -Residential electricity rates in Colorado average 11. 46¢/k. Wh, which ranks the state 21 st in the nation. -Commercial electricity rates in Colorado average 9. 39¢/k. Wh, which ranks the state 25 th in the nation.

Power Calculation Example § If the average 1200 watt server PSU use is 850 watts per hour, multiplied by 24 that equals 20, 400 watts daily, or 20. 4 kilowatts (k. Wh). Multiply that by 365 days a year for 7, 446 k. Wh per year § If Average cost per k. Wh in Colorado is 9. 39 cents, the average cost per year to run that server on a single power supply is $699. 18, or $1, 398. 36 for two power supplies, per year in electricity costs.
