Integrated Technology Strategies
“The Integrated Technology Strategies are
a set of interrelated information technology
strategies that are visionary, collaborative,
and sustainable while maintaining
compliance and security.”
These strategies are designed to meet the
missions and goals of the University
through campus-wide Information
Technology Governance.

Today’s Server Hardware
• Powerful Servers
– Multiple sockets
• Multi-core/socket
– Gigabytes of memory
– Multi-Gigabit ports NIC
– 10 Gbps NIC
– HD slots for RAID
– Electricity/cooling hog
Average System Utilization
• 70 – 80 % of servers can
be virtualized
• Capacity planner gives us
inside view of how much
resource a given hardware
is being used in a period of
time
• Hardware generally overprovisioned to handle the
unknown for the lifetime of
the system

IT Virtualization : Phase I
• Dual Servers (Active /
Stand-by or Active /
Active)
• Each cluster connects to
a direct attached storage
• Resources are cluster
bound
IT Virtualization : Phase II
• Increased virtual host
pool
– Better CPU/memory
management
– Increase Guest OS
density/redundancy
• Increase storage
allocation/sharing
• Reduce silos
Benefits of virtualization
• Reduce hardware/software cost
• Easily add processor/memory/storage resource
as demand increases
• Standardized virtual server images, faster server
provisioning
• More efficient usage of resources
• Provides high availability environment
• De-duplication of files/memory, etc
• Reduce electricity, space, green
