Fast Deployment of Highly Integrated IT Solutions

Infrastructure optimization is a global initiative that delivers the IT infrastructure required to support a service-oriented enterprise.
The initiative brings together several IBM solutions that support the infrastructure services, business and communities within Capgemini’s Technology Services (TS) and Outsourcing Services (OS). These solutions deliver:

• Optimized roadmap: based on the IBM New Enterprise Data Center, IBM’s roadmap is aligned with Capgemini’s infrastructure roadmap and maturity assessment tools.
• Reduced complexity and cost: through consolidation and virtualization, the solutions reduce total cost of ownership with targeted methodologies and tools.
• Improved energy efficiency: through the Green Data Center.
• Best practice Service delivery and management: using the ITIL V3 aligned service management tools.
• Utility computing offerings: adapted solutions with a focus on outsourced services.

Maximum Performance and Results

Our IBM Infrastructure Optimization solutions offer significant advantages for IT infrastructure services. By pooling resources and making them available to all applications, businesses can reduce costs, while increasing service levels.
Capgemini ensures the quality and consistent performance of our infrastructure services through effective management and highly automated provisioning of resources. This is supported by sophisticated software tools and integrated IT processes.
We work closely and collaboratively with IBM to optimize infrastructures for our joint clients. We have mapped our leading Infrastructure Design Framework (IDF) methodology to IBM’s toolset, in order to speed the deployment of highly integrated infrastructure solutions.

A Strong and Structured Approach

We draw on the following IBM solutions to accelerate and simplify the deployment of SOA to specific industry segments:

• Green computing
• Virtualization
• Cloud computing
• ITIL service management

Cloud computing is an emerging area of great interest. IBM experts collaborate with Capgemini technology and outsourcing professionals to develop proof-of-concept projects that explore public cloud operations and hybrid cloud management.
