IT Design Studio™

Do you have a simple, repeatable, scalable, fit-for-purpose infrastructure design?

IT organizations are being asked to increase their strategic value to the business by adopting new and more cost-effective technologies to support business objectives. Despite all the attention, few tools exist and little strategic thought is expended in how to document the current state deployment and then plan & design the required future state. The result is that organizations suffer continual amnesia with regard to their IT infrastructure along with ineffective or inefficient target state designs.

Solution: Adaptivity’s IT Design Studio™ provides the design “science” and automation to create business-optimized IT Blueprints and prescriptive roadmaps that link architecture, engineering, and system operations with the business they support. By providing an accurate, living current state blueprint and the resulting forensic insights, these IT designs define application patterns, workloads and deployment models.  This streamlined approach allows IT to plan and design the most cost-effective solution in a repeatable, scalable model.

What: A decision support tool that equips you with current state deployment blueprints, IT Design Studio™ includes workflow-driven program templates for Application Optimization, Data Center Transformation, and Cloud Readiness that can be adapted to your assessed maturity level. These programs identify the required execution roadmap with the hardware and software capabilities needed to drive your program to the desired target state.

How: IT Design Studio™ guides the user through a “bottom-up” process to harness decisions, priorities, and existing capabilities. By automatically generating blueprints of a current state that reflects incremental environment changes as well as identifying application deployments and enriching discovered host relationships, IT Design Studio™ will identify misconfigured hosts, unknown servers, and application dependences both cross site and throughout the environment. Coupling this with an expert knowledge base of solutions and linkages that incorporates client knowledge and standards into design decisions, the blueprints will ensure that any IT infrastructure transformation program or project will be rooted in a solid understanding of business demand and organizational maturity.

Who: This tool is for business and IT professionals that seek to deliver business results, cost reduction, and risk mitigation. This includes:

• Application and Infrastructure Architects, Developers and Engineers
• Project Managers
• Operations Personnel
• Business Analysts and Executives

IT Design Studio equips you with a repeatable, work-flow driven, multi-project software solution to model business architectures and infrastructure drivers, and to establish the application usage and problem identification information you require to make informed decisions in order to deliver the most cost effective IT supply chain possible.
