Diversity of an IT plant
• Every effort is made to have uniform components (e.g. hw models,
software components)
• Avoid vendor locking (price competition, delivery capability, service quality)
• Lifecycle management (HW and SW), decommission is often a pain
• Custom solutions
− Wrappers, for easier work
− Central configuration database
− Access and auditing
− Protection from mistakes
− Examples: managing VMWare servers from Unix command line,
manipulating NAS filers and shares, managing SAN configuration
• Self service, post-build custom application profiles

Change and Risk Management
• How to make it measurable?
• Identify – Prioritize – Plan and Schedule – Track and Report
• Examples
− Data Center in Iceland

Data Centers
Problem
Safe and reliable centralized operation of the
IT infrastructure under extreme
circumstances
Design
• Many engineering disciplines involved
• Site selection criteria
• Accommodate computers, storage, backup,
network equipment
• Accommodate supplementary equipment:
Fire extinguisher, cooling, UPS, Generators,
fuel, etc.
• Redundant network (IP, FC) and grid
connection on physically different paths
• Security (physical, internal, external)
• Change, risk, vendor management
• CO2 emission, green technologies

Questions for invaluable prize
• How would you make the Grid power consumption more efficient?
• What kind of performance counters would you check if there’s a suspected
disks subsystem performance issue?
