Putting Grid Computing In ContextJohn C. McCarthyVice President, Asia Pacific ResearchForrester Research
Theme
Grid computing is not a unique market, but an
element in the transformation of IT
Agenda
• Who is Forrester?
• The current environment
• Defining grid computing
• Grid in the context of the broader move to Organic IT

A custom and transparent research experience
In 2005 IT Is In A Period Of Refine & Design
Forrester Research, June 2005 Trends “The Seeds Of The Next Big Thing”
Rapid growth in IT spending has peaked!
• The bulk of the infrastructure is in place
• Very large scale implementations are over
• Wage and services rates are in a period of deflation
• Overall capital budgets cannot sustain more growth
• Lower cost, niche new technologies dominate the agenda

The skills needed in IT are changing dramtically
IT industry takes mature attributes
• Vendors cut costs/build out GDM
• Operational efficiency becomes paramount
• Suppliers invest in solution accelerators/frameworks

Theme

Vendors are pitching new ideas:
DSI
Utility Computing
These ideas have many names ...
• Utility computing (confusing and incomplete)
• Grid computing (has lost its specific meaning)» Global Grid Forum (GGF), Globus, Enterprise Grid Alliance (EGA)
• On demand — IBM, CA, and others
• Adaptive Enterprise, Utility Data Center — HP
• N1 and Grid — Sun Microsystems
• Dynamic Systems Initiative — Microsoft
• Others
» Policy-based computing, service-centric computing, TRIOLE, Harmonious Computing, open mission-critical systems, Valumo, business blueprinting
... but are really three ideas mixed together
1. What’s the right architecture?
» Distributed versus Organic IT
– Choose based on ROI to firm
2. Should I outsource?» Location and management
– Choose based on skills, costs, strategic focus
3. What’s the pricing scheme?
» Purchase, lease, or pay per use
– Choose based on financial needs
It takes a full page table to list all the industry names...

CIOs and businesspeople are waking to a new reality
• The technology costs too much…
• …and doesn’t deliver on its promise
• While vendors offer warmed-over technology repeats

Organic IT is:
► IT Infrastructure that automatically shares and manages reliable virtualized software, processors, storage, and networks across all applications and business services
Abstraction is the key to Organic IT

Crystallizing the savings from Organic IT
1. Massively higher utilization
» From today’s 10%-20% to 70%-80%
» Result: Cut purchases in half
2. Dramatic increases in IT labor efficiency
» From today’s 6TB to 600TB
» Result: Double IT staff efficiency
3. Rapid response to business needs
» From months to hours or days
» Result: Faster time to market
