Representative POMs are described for Server / Mainframe / High Performance Computing at each level of maturity.

2Basic

• Practice

  Develop policies, processes, and procedures for the life cycle management of the compute infrastructure and select the appropriate tools to successfully implement.

  Outcome

  A basic, repeatable, and reliable approach begins to emerge to design, implement, and support the life cycle management for the key compute infrastructure.

  Metric

  % of the compute infrastructure life cycle that is documented and managed.

3Intermediate

• Practice

  Use standard policies, processes, procedures, and tools for the life cycle management of the compute infrastructure.

  Outcome

  Life cycle management and tool sets have been standardized and partially automated for most of the compute infrastructure.

  Metric

  % of the compute infrastructure that uses a standard management life cycle.

4Advanced

• Practice

  Regularly test and review to automate and improve the life cycle management of the compute infrastructure.

  Outcome

  The life cycle management of all of the compute infrastructure is incrementally improved and semi-automated.

  Metrics

  • % automation of the management of the compute infrastructure.
  • # of improvements to the life cycle management of the compute infrastructure.

5Optimized

• Practice

  Use research and experimentation to exploit all new and best practice approaches to optimize the life cycle management of the compute infrastructure.

  Outcome

  The life cycle management of the compute infrastructure is continuously optimized.

  Metric

  % cost savings due to optimizations of the life cycle management of the compute infrastructure.
