What are the business drivers?<br />
ALL<br />
Lower our costs and give us a better ROI<br />
Manufacturing - Increase utilization & productivity<br />
In typical six week development and test cycle, more time is spent reconfiguring<br />
existing resources than running the tests<br />
Life Sciences - Rapidly deploy & shut down projects<br />
We have many new business projects, <strong>with</strong> many large, temporary<br />
datasets, that need to start in hours, not weeks<br />
Commercial Enterprise - Shorten deployment lifecycle<br />
To gain competitive advantage, we really need to reduce deployment<br />
times by a factor of 10<br />
Financial Services – <strong>Utility</strong> – Pay as You Go Model<br />
Pay for capacity as its used and tie IT expense to business initiatives<br />

Sociable Applications<br />
● Sociable Applications don't :-<br />
- have specific O/S patch or specialised kernel<br />
requirements<br />
- require OS minimization to meet stringent security<br />
requirements - e.g. Internet fronting systems<br />
- cause Namespace collisions <strong>with</strong> other applications<br />

Application Based ChargeBack<br />
● UNIX has included a Accounting subsystem since it's AT&T<br />
days.<br />
● Initial implementation was designed to serve a generalised<br />
Time Sharing system model<br />
● Subsequently developed issues <strong>with</strong> long running and subsecond<br />
duration processes, but constrained by POSIX<br />
definition<br />
● Solaris resolved both these <strong>with</strong> Solaris 8 OE 1/01 Extended<br />
Accounting subsystem<br />
● Provides the Usage data enabling Application based<br />
chargeback to be made.<br />
● Now includes network usage via IPQOS in Solaris 9 update 1<br />
Enables per Container Chargeback to be implemented<br />

Requires Operational maturity before processes are<br />

Requires cultural change so that End Users move<br />
away from owning the hardware<br />
