What We Hear in the Market –
Summarizing Issues

• Uncontrolled Growth in Data Center Services (and costs)

– Mergers & acquisitions
– Businesses making decisions outside of IT control

• vs. Corporate Objective to Control IT Costs

– Need to reduce data center services footprint
– Rationalize applications and eliminate redundant/extraneous apps

• Hampered by Lack of Accurate and Detailed Information on

Application / DC Capabilities Mix
– Ability to define end state requires in-depth knowledge of workload
characteristics, business requirements and current DC capabilities

 Getting to the Right Data Center
Services Portfolio Model

“If you don’t know where

you are going, any road
will get you there.”

Getting control over data center/cloud sprawl is achievable if you start

with a clearly defined set of activities that drive towards a rational and
maintainable plan. The first step is to know where you are today.

Multiple New Delivery Models Have Emerged
Alongside Traditional Delivery Models

IT Delivery Models Increase With Cloud

How do CIOs optimize all of these delivery models?

IT delivery models increase with cloud, driven by:

• The business bypassing IT for speed and lower cost…
• …And IT exploring the latest tools and technology
While gaining the benefits of cloud…
• Increased IT agility, potential for better IT economics, flexible business models
…CIOs now need to grapple with:
• Less control over infrastructure and service levels
• Greater risk of exposure to security, governance and compliance pitfalls
• Organizational change & process issues
• Potentially higher cost due to complexity, skills and resources issues

Hybrid Enterprise
A Hybrid Enterprise is a composition of cloud, non-cloud, internal and external IT service delivery
models that remain unique entities but are bound together by an integrated management
environment, and common technology, processes and policies to optimize agility, enable data
and application portability, and reduce risk.

Core Areas Customers Need to Consider
When Moving to the Hybrid Enterprise

Architecture, regulatory compliance, data locality

Applications and more determine appropriate delivery models.

Diverse architectures, operating models and

Data Centers technologies drive varying operating risk and costs.

Management complexity increases, impacting

Management governance, compliance, and financial models

To leverage the capabilities that cloud computing provides, while keeping chaos
from overwhelming IT, a strategic, comprehensive methodology is needed that
spans all IT service delivery models.

Application Portfolio Management Facilitates Business-IT Alignment,
underpinning each activity that Unisys focuses on during an engagement.
Clear metrics and measures for success establish the bases for aligning a
customers application portfolio and creating actionable steps to create
short term and long term value.

What is the right balance of data center services in your portfolio?

• Cloud and VMs have created a necessary cost adjustment in your users mind…
• But users will still demand IT services at a faster rate and a lower cost…
• IT leaders will need to explore the most effective use of new tools and technology
• Vendor impact: continued rapid innovation and acquisition strategy

The Application Migration Journey:
New delivery models are forcing more automated mechanisms of
managing application portfolios as they move to highly agile and
flexible environments.

Cloud Computing Solutions

For Enterprise Applications
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
Provider licenses an application for
use as a service on demand over
the internet.
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
Provider licenses a runtime and
development platform for new
application development over the
internet.

Infrastructure-as-a-Service
Provider supplies compute and
storage resources as a service for
application deployment,
development and testing.

The challenge for application portfolio managers is to ensure that each business application is deployed and
delivered through the best model that yields the optimum economic, business and operational results

Tagging applications in alignment with business rules and a business
value chain help to create a view into the business that justifies an
application footprint and rationalizes an applications capabilities. Unisys
tooling enables meta tagging and application associations to business
