Bill-BackPureNRG has recently started a large initiative to allow customers to deliver energy back to the power grid, and it expects this program to grow rapidly over the next 10 years. However, the billing system that PureNRG is currently using cannot support this initiative. PureNRG ran a pilot with a new system, but it could not handle the load.

HISTORY
Mary: Lets take a look at PureNRGs history to better understand what it is trying to achieve today.
1988-1999When the British government privatized the electrical power industry in 1988, the London-based ElectriCo acquired a coal plant owned by Harrison Ltd., one of the major coal plants in the UK. After a few similar acquisitions, ElectriCo became a leading player in the UK energy industry.
2000-2010 In 2000, the company acquired the Swedish, formerly state-owned utility company, Sandin,
and the Finnish electricity company, GDN. ElectriCo began investing in solar-powered energy after 2004. After entering the Dutch and German markets in 2005, the company changed its name to
PureNRG. Recently, they have acquired the fourth largest utility company in France, Aloge, which had a
strong focus on R&D in the fi eld of green energy. In 2008, PureNRG acquired two R&D facilities, one in Japan for tidal energy research and
the other in the US for solar-energy research, to become a worldwide leader in green energy production.Sa

PURENRGS BUSINESS UNITS
Plant The core business for each plant is to produce energy cost effi ciently. The IT component consists of monitoring and measurement systems to control how much coal
is burnt, the amount of energy produced, which switches to operate, and so on. The systems are very specialized, and some are built in-house.
Sales and Distribution Sales and Distribution manages the sale of electricity, just as any other organization manages
its sales. This core function requires attendant tasks, such as CRM, billing, and accounting.

PureNRG has recently started a large initiative to allow customers to deliver energy back to the power grid in a program known as Bill-Back.
The new billing system for Bill-Back could not handle the load. PureNRG is now looking at creating a virtualized development environment to host a new billing system in a virtual environment that would allow clients to produce energy and sell it back to PureNRG.
Trading Energy trading systems are very specifi c in nature, and PureNRG has many customized
applications. PureNRGs traders use many regular spreadsheets because they require more detail and
customization. Trading systems should be online at all times.
R&D The working environment and networks must be responsive and secure. PureNRGs facilities in Japan and the US are not yet connected to PureNRGs network. Both facilities are situated in remote locations, with their own separate IT infrastructures.

2.0 INTRODUCTION
Have you heard about virtualization and cloud computing? Over the past few years, these technologies have made signifi cant changes to the way information technology (IT) is organized. With the progress of these technologies, it has become less important to own a particular server and more important to share computing resources. Virtualization enables hardware to be shared among users in a much more effi cient way than previously possible. Cloud computing builds on this capability, allowing secure sharing across organizational lines.

2.1 DEFINITIONS AND CONCEPTS
Virtualization
Nonvirtualized computers have one set of hardware and one set of software. Virtualization is a set of techniques for hiding hardware resources behind software abstractions to simplify the way other software or end users interact with those resources. Consequently, a single server computer, when virtualized, can run multiple operating systems.

Virtualization (Contd.)
The popular press typically identifi es virtualization as a software category. However, in an enterprise, virtualization should be understood as an integrated approach encompassing software, hardware, and a number of techniques and processes that when taken together, increase the ease with which IT assets can be delivered, managed, and shared.

Today
Much of the current interest in virtualization is concerned with re-creating the robust capabilities of the more-mature, proprietary platforms on the less-expensive, commodity distributed platforms.Achieving these capabilities on cheap, plentiful machines does not just replicate the old capability for less money it radically changes the value proposition for virtualization. It now becomes possible to imagine a world where any IT workload can run anywhere. This is analogous to the way laptops and mobile phones have transformed the concept of where a workplace can be located.

CPU Transistor Counts
The diagram shows the number of transistors packed into each successive generation of commodity CPUs. The scale of the chart is logarithmic; the power of CPUs doubles every 18-24 months.The point of this graph is that a single server can typically handle a lot of applications, and each next generation of the server can handle even more applications.

Programming
Programmers are no longer able to take advantage of this much power with conventional programming techniques. This was earthshaking news back in 2005 when it seemed that programmers would all have to be retrained or the new hardware would remain underutilized.Applications increasingly need to be concurrent in order to fully exploit the continuing exponential CPU throughput gains. Concurrent programming is complicated, subtle, and requires both training and experience.Virtualization allows us to keep these incredibly fast machines busy with programs written by normal programmers without these specialized skills. In large part, this factor is what is behind the recent acceleration of virtualization.

2.2.2 Virtualization and Cloud Computing in Context
Cloud Computing
In cloud computing, the cloud service provider will provide access to the software, takes care of hosting and storage, and can also help developers rapidly create applications. Where the provider keeps the hardware is their business. It might be in a dedicated data center, in multiple data centers, or shifted between data centers. Because we dont know the exact location, we call it cloud computing.Cloud computing makes use of existing technologies, such as virtualization. Although some of the underlying technology is old, the emergence of cloud providers has created new possibilities for IT and business units. Thats why cloud computing is more a business model than a technology.

Enabling Technology
Virtualization is an enabling technology for cloud computing and cloud computing services. For cloud computing to occur, it is necessary to separate resources from their physical location. Without virtualization, the cloud becomes very diffi cult to manage.In addition, cloud computing is a business model where ownership of physical resources rests with one party, and the service users are billed for their real use. An organization can use virtualization for internal customers. Cloud computing presupposes external service users.These steps must be understood as part of an organizations journey not only a change in technology, but a transformation in how IT is delivered.

Instructor | Introduction to Virtualization
IT Delivery (Contd.)
When a company moves from physical space to virtual space, changes in people and technology are required. You need virtualization specialists, shared hardware, and hypervisors.
Virtualization SpecialistsAs an organization introduces virtualization, staff must acquire specialized skills in the management of new technology, such as hypervisors, remote desktops, and virtualized storage. These new platforms not only require a different approach, they must also be integrated with the rest of the organization.
Shared HardwareVirtualization makes in-house infrastructure vastly more effi cient by allowing teams to share hardware that is underutilized or utilized only at specifi c peak periods. The resulting savings from buying, housing, and supporting fewer devices, termed Asset Effi ciency, is one of the great benefi ts of virtualization.
HypervisorsVirtualization introduces a new layer between the server hardware and the operating system of the traditional IT stack. This new layer requires technical expertise to manage. It also means that organizational decisions regarding the server hardware and operating systems must be re-examined.

Virtualization Essentials
IT Delivery (Contd.)
When a company moves from physical space to virtual space or from virtualization to the cloud, changes are required in people, processes, and technology. You need sourcing expertise and a common IT business strategy, as well as the Federation and Security processes. Cloud management platforms must be adopted, and people should think about service and not hardware.
Sourcing ExpertiseVirtualization introduces the possibility, and Cloud Computing further requires that externally sourced IT services play a greater role in the overall IT mix. Organizations need staff with vendor management and partner relationships skills; that is, sourcing expertise.
Common IT and Business Strategy IT strategy is always formulated in support of the business, but as an organization matures and engages in both sourcing in and delivering out capabilities in a cloud environment, IT decisions become decisions about who and where the company does business. IT and business strategy become inseparable. For staff to engage in successful strategy, they need to understand both the business they work in and IT.
FederationWhen applications are supplied by a number of independent providers, the need to ensure a consistent view of critical underlying data across these providers arises. One common challenge is identity federation, where multiple services trust each others user information, such as access rights and preferences. Another challenge is master data federation, where common corporate data, such as product inventories or customer data, is shared across a number of applications.

Security and RiskBecause cloud computing involves moving from an environment completely under in-house control to one in which a number of external vendors are relied upon, it poses unique challenges to the confi dentiality, integrity, and availability of data and processes with signifi cant bearing on the risk profi le of the organization.
Cloud Management PlatformsA company that adopts cloud computing must bring together diverse services from a variety of vendors, as well as in-house capabilities, in a consistent and consistently managed way. The emerging category of cloud management provides the capability to realize the potential of anytime, anywhere cloud computing.
Service, Not HardwareAs an organization becomes comfortable with virtualization, it stops talking about its servers and instead talks about the capacity it needs and where the capacity must be located. A company that adopts cloud computing can own a few servers while being able to deliver any number of virtual servers for just as long as their developers need them.
IT Delivery (Contd.)
Virtualization and cloud computing share the need for cross-silo expertise, dynamic environments, usage metering, self-service, automation, and management tools.
Cross-Silo ExpertiseAs an organization gains experience with virtualization, roles within IT delivery are redefi ned. Planning, provisioning, and troubleshooting require a combination of skills such as networking and UNIX system administration, which are often found in separate IT silos in a conventional enterprise.

Virtualization Essentials
Dynamic EnvironmentIn a typical company, processes such as server installation and inventory management are oriented around confi guration changes that, once provisioned, will last for years. Virtualized and cloud environments scale up and down dynamically and require supporting processes to handle changes that might last for only minutes or hours. For example, a developer might bring up a network of fi fty VMs to test a batch job after lunch and be done with them at 5 oclock.
Self-ServiceConventional procedures to buy equipment or make confi guration changes can take months to complete in a complex organization and are manually intensive; requests can become lost in the mail. A balanced approach to self-service, which maintains control over fi nancial, operational, and technical constraints and delivers quickly when a standard request is made, is typical of the benefi ts virtualization and cloud computing bring to business and IT users alike.
Usage MeteringBefore virtualization, hardware and software assets were typically allocated to an individual business area within a company. The owning group bore the cost of purchase, housing, and support. However, as sharing increases with virtualization and
