Session Description:
Corporate IT is rapidly evolving as the technology landscape changes. In this presentation, Jon Hall, Lead Product Manager for ITAM at BMC, argues that asset management is becoming an ever-more critical factor in managing that change. Far from being a “custodian of spreadsheets,” the IT asset manager is uniquely positioned to observe, oversee, manage, and influence the make-up of the next generation service environment. The presentation will explore some of the biggest technology changes impacting business IT, and explore how a cross-functional and informed ITAM function can help the business to get the best from them.
The definition of the functional elements and the communication paths between them
One or many different deployment sizes or locations for deploying the Service Blueprint
A set of configurable options associated with a Service Blueprint for users to select at the request time
Multiple different environments and states.
New sources of data become important.
Assets are a moving target.
Raises huge challenges around compliance and costing.
Changes and Releases happen much faster.
Incidental support cost
Can’t rely on basic discovery tools.
The simply won’t keep up.
Periodic true-up is not enough.
Loss of governance and visibility due to automation siloes.
We are in the early innings of the movement to the cloud, so it is unlikely that this flattening is due to decreased supply or demand of cloud services. Instead, this flattening is likely the result of IT’s efforts to educate employees on the perils of high-risk cloud services, the consolidation of services in a particular category to lower cost and risk, and greater awareness among employees on the care required when dealing with corporate data.
How can you run an urgent patching program against all your Unix/Linux devices?Would you know where to find everything?
What about
- each service may have different cost model, API, etc.
Source of data: (“Forecast: The Internet of Things, Worldwide” – Gartner Report, 2013)
(0.9bn to 20bn between 2009 and 2020)
This would bring “device” count up to 333.
Could be much bigger? Stuart Buchanan of Gartner at ITFPAM 2014 predicted 200bn intermittent device connections by 2020
In many cases, the software has previously been provided to customers along with the hardware, for no additional charge”
