Other States - Consolidation
Virginia– 10 year, $2 Billion, partnership, Northrup-Grumman– Year 1, New Data Center, 90 Servers consolidated to 16,
6000 Desktops replaced Texas
– Consolidate 31 Data Centers into 2 Missouri
– Combine 14 executive branch departments IT divisions Colorado
– September 2007, Consolidation all IT into central organization
04/12/23 5
Five IT Infrastructure Assessments
Network – Connects everybody together
Data Center (Servers) – business applications and common functions (E-Mail, Web)
Security – Protect technology and data
Service Desk – single point of contact for problems or requests
Desktops – helps customers with hardwareand software

Key Activities Approach
Assessment Analyze current stateDetermined gaps between current and future stateDocument consolidation findings
Future State Design Determine Future State for the Service Desk and four infrastructure areas - Data Center (servers), Network, Security, and Desktop. Determine the effort and cost involved to get agencies to minimum technology standardsPrepare organizational recommendations
Business Cases and Costs Determine current IT costsDetermine future IT costsCreate business case
Developed Findings and Plan Document assessment findingsIdentify risksDocument the plan

Phase I (Pilot) Summary
• DOA, OSP, OSBM, Governor’s Office & Lt. Governor’s Office– Project kick off January 2006; 90% completed December 2006– 5 remaining server migrations complete October 2007
• Scope– 54 IT FTEs including 10 enterprise IT ‘infrastructure’ FTEs– 80 Servers; ~1100 PC’s; ~1200 switch ports; 31+ locations
• Findings– Equipment out of date, with no warranty– Lack of standardization of technology and processes
• Actions Implemented– Moved 10 IT infrastructure personnel to ITS– Consolidated/migrated 17 servers– On boarded agencies to managed desktop, LAN and Server Services
• Lessons Learned– Consistent, recurring spending is required to keep IT equipment up to date.– More focus is needed on IT banding– Splintered IT organization structures sub optimize IT strategy rollouts, skill transfer and
IT training and employee development.

What is virtualization?
In computing, virtualization is a broad term that refers to the abstraction of computer resources. One useful definition is "a technique for hiding the physical characteristics of computing resources from the way in which other systems, applications, or end users interact with those resources. This includes making a single physical resource (such as a server, an operating system, an application, or storage device) appear to function as multiple logical resources; or it can include making multiple physical resources (such as storage devices or servers) appear as a single logical resource."

Value Proposition to State
A formal desktop management program will significantly reduce security and financial risks, increase reliability, reduce downtime, and provide a predictable application delivery mechanism by:
– Standardizing hardware and software components– Ensuring legal software license compliance– Keeping hardware and software refreshed, updated, and well maintained– Providing a timely and effective response to incidents and outages– Protecting users from computer viruses, malicious software, and network
attacks– Maintaining an accurate physical inventory of IT assets assigned to end
users
