Interview with Vitaly Baranov

Quote

Recently, cloud technology has become increasingly popular. However, according to Vitaly Baranov, in order to move to their use, companies need to first solve the problems of unconsolidated IT infrastructure. "Without consolidation, you cannot build efficient process-oriented management because there is no single point of delivery for services." The next step towards the cloud is to implement service-oriented management. "Then we get, in fact, a personal cloud and already become consumers of IT services, independent of a specific IT infrastructure. This will allow us to ensure the portability of our SLAs between service providers. "

Four main types of IT consolidation:

• The first, geographically, involves pooling the company's IT resources in one place (data center).
• The next type is logical consolidation, where systems are centralized and managed. "It is not uncommon for a distributed company to have a separate domain or its own mail system. This is ineffective. "
• The third type of consolidation is homogeneous, when the distribution of applications gives way to their consolidation.
• Finally, heterogeneous consolidation when data center processing power is used to host applications in virtual resource pools.

Within the framework of projects to consolidate the branch infrastructure, the tasks of combining catalog services and basic services, creating a unified communication system, centralizing administration and unifying resource management are being solved. This increases service availability, increases system performance, saves operating costs, and creates a solid platform for innovation.
