Analysis of Company’s On-Premise IT State:
TVS Motor Company uses the IT infrastructure with HP rx6600 servers with HP-UX 11.31.
This is based on delivering the highest level of integrated virtualization and automation. The
functional areas of HP-UX include services like:
LCPUS interface to dual core Intel, Itanium 2 processor Hyper-Threading
Multi pathing & Load Balancing
PCI Recovery error
PCI online deletion
On line processor and memory migration
Network File System V4
The above mentioned some of the service using HP servers and EVA 4400 storage has also
has been in used like managing virtual disks, managing disk groups, View storage system
status, shutdown/restart the storage system etc. Hence all these services can be done.
These Servers has the installed configuration of using windows server 2003 management
server, windows server 2003 non-management server and windows server 2008 non-
management server. TVS Motor Company uses most of the Infrastructure services from HP.
So HP is the infrastructure provider for TVS Motors. This sets the company to use the floor
space of setting the infrastructure of the company. So more than 600 users work with this
system environment of HP rx6600servers and HP-UX 11.31 all these make hardware
components of the company.
TVS Motor uses the oracle products for the database management in order to implement
storage and data management optimizations. They use the oracle database release 11.2.01
for SAP. These database upgrade takes place only on UNIX/LINUX platform. The database
upgradation of SAP installation with SAP NetWeaver on oracle with only single instance. The
size would be around 2.5TB compression before advanced compression oracle 10g and
11g.
TVS Motor Company faces the problem firstly they have to extend the storage system but it
resulted in disproportionality high costs and a relatively long implementation period and
secondly use a data archiving concept and implement potential space savings. The Oracle
compression of shifting here by focused by using BR tools. So for the sake of database
management the company relies on Oracle products.
TVS Motor hereby enterprise software to manage business operations and customer
relations. So the company uses the SAP software like ERP ECC 6. 04 FI, CO, MM, PP, QM,
SM, HCM/HR. SAP set of middleware program and tools built on SAP web application
server. It also uses Net Weaver BW 7.01 and PI 7.0 all module activities involved.
NetWeaver EHP1 is the prerequisite of SAP BI solutions. This is the improved MDX
interface. It consists of SAP business objects data federator BW 7.01. This is a service
oriented and application and integration platform. It primarily uses the ABAP programming
language it uses C, C++, Java EE. SAP environment is applied interoperate with
technologies such as Microsoft .Net, IBM WebSphere and Java EE.
TVS Motor initiate so as to consolidate its storage infrastructure with a storage area network
(SAN). TVS Motors data centre has 60 servers, out of 20 HP servers are connected to the
SAN. SAN has the storage capacity of approximately 12 Terabytes (TB) so it has been
configured from Raid 1 to Raid 5. TVS Motors uses HP proprietary storage management
tools. So the company should focus on storage virtualization so as to reduce Capex costs.

TVS Motor Company use Cisco voice system remain on- premise. They use Cisco SPA9000
voice system. This has made the IP telephony made easy by setting up the internal
telephone system for the purpose of small domain of phone company. Cisco SPA9000 voice
system has these features that has multilevel access of password-protected access, support
for 16 Cisco IP phones, support for internet telephone service to remotely update the
software and the settings and it has special features like shared line appearance, call
transfer, call parking and group tagging. The company also uses Cisco SPA400 Internet
telephony with 4 FXO ports this can support 32 voice email accounts that can be accessed
through a user’s Cisco IP phone. TVS Motor uses these services of Cisco SPA400 where
they are able to meet the company’s personal needs like:
Cisco SPA400 provides support for four RJ-11 FXO to connect to public switched
network
One 10/100 Base T RJ-45 internet service so as to connect to local IP address
using this service the company benefits
Provides easy installation support using SPA9000 setup wizard
TVS Motor uses the service of Cisco SPA9000 and SPA400 for providing better IP
connectivity service on premise. The Cisco voice gateways like Cisco VG202, VG202XM,
VG204 and VG204XM are used in the company.
TVS Motors use Oracle for the maintenance of database advanced data compression using
RAT (Real Application Testing) and secure files. RAT is a tool that is used for optimizing
changes to access the impact of workload before going live on the network. Secure file is
using large types of objects so as to improve the performance. So the company can
personally use the services before making it live on the network.
TVS Motor relies on the Acrobat 3D software and Adobe PDF to enable faster and more
over providing a reliable access to mission the critical engineering drawings, 3D illustrations
and designs. While taking a glance of this software in this company Adobe Acrobat 3D
Version8 and Adobe reader is used so as AutoCAD is also here by used for providing a
better illustration of designs. This software runs on Microsoft Windows XP, Professional and
Vista this software is used. With the help of Acrobat 3D, the company can integrate
AutoCAD, 3D CAD and other format design source material is hereby integrated Adobe
Portable Document (PDF) file. By using the Adobe Software, the company will be able to
integrate complex engineering design into everyday business process and the capability to
convert AutoCAD, 3D CAD design into Adobe PDF with ease. By using this Adobe software
to able to comment and edit the particular design. TVS Motor workflows in the product
lifecycle management (PLM) the systems can automatically trigger the collaboration. This
very much helps the company in document collaboration.
TVS Motor also uses the IBM Servers, it the IBMs ILOG CPLEX Enterprise Server which
enhances scalability in large scale optimization-based decision support applications. The
reason behind the company selecting IBMs ILOG Transportation Analyst solution to map the
cost effective trucking routes so as it enhances in providing most effective trucking route for
timely delivery of dealership. So the company focuses on using IBM ILOG CPLEX Enterprise
Server so it can here by support applications shared among the multiple decision makers. It
runs on DB2 Enterprise server or DB2 Express-C.
The company has some of the problem with the current IT infrastructure On-premise. The
company has to maintain a huge database so they have to pay high costs of storage this
exceeds the costs of the company in a drastic manner. Each year the company has to spend
lots of money for Upgradation and various other related on premise IT costs.

PROPOSED CLOUD SOLUTIONS:
TVS Motors should move to cloud and use services provided by Amazon. By using the
amazon web services, they will able reduce the total cost of ownership. It has the features
like providing flexibility, disaster recovery and capital expenditure etc.
Amazon EC2 reduces the time required to obtain and boot new server instances to minutes
and also providing the facility to scale up and down as per computing requirement whereas
using on premise it takes lot of time to build new instances and also scaling facility as per the
requirements is inadequate On- premise. Amazon EC2 also provides the facility to only pay
for the services that are utilised and as per Cloudonomics law “Utility services cost less even
though they cost more” is followed by Amazon EC2. Amazon EC2 is a web service that
provides the compute capacity in the cloud. Amazon also provides the feature of auto
scaling for EC2. Amazon EC2 eliminates the need to invest on the hardware upfront it can
develop and deploy applications. In the amazon environment the company will be handling
their instances.
TVS Motor should use Elastic Load Balancing. It automatically distributes incoming
application traffic across multiple amazon EC2 instances in the cloud. It provides the
required amount of load balancing computing needed to distribute application traffic. By
using Amazon route 53 health checking and it will enhance the availability of load application
running behind elasticity load balancer. By the route 53 can run applications in AWS regions.
Elastic Load Balancing provide the facility to distribute traffic among multiple Amazon
Services. In case of On-premise IT there is a traffic congestion of networks. So by using
Elastic Load balancing provides it works on Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) to provide
robust networking and security features.
TVS Motor can also use the Amazon S3 services. Amazon S3 to use object storage with
simple web service interface to store and retrieve any amount of data from anywhere of the
web. The other benefit is that there is no set up cost for these services. There is no minimum
fee and there is no setup cost. Amazon EC2, AWS identity and Access Management (IAM)
as well as data migration services and gateway for initial or ongoing data ingestion. In case
of On-premise building and storage representation is expensive. In the Amazon S3 the data
is stored and relative data is stored in buckets so data is stored in different places even
though the data gets deleted the replica of the data stored in another bucket. Amazon S3
employs a simple web based interface for encryption and for purpose of user authentication.
This is a solution to On-premise IT infrastructure solutions so data backup and retrieve can
easily be done so by Amazon S3. IT infrastructure on On-premise faces the issue of data
backup if some data is lost it cannot be reinstated because there is no copy of data that is
lost. So Amazon S3 standouts to be a proposal to be company.
TVS Motor for the maintenance of company’s database on cloud can rely on Amazons RDS
(Relational Database service) to make it easy to set up, operate and scale relational
database in the cloud. It provides the feature of cost efficient and resizable computing it
frees up time of managing data in the database. In the case of On-premise costs for
managing database and repository and the cost of buying racks costs rate exceeds. So by
using Amazon RDS there is no worry on its maintenance. AWS RDS has the facility of
scalability of database management during peak traffic times. Even though some disaster
occurs the replica of data is stored in region, it gives a major relief to the company and it can
employ less number of employees to work on Amazon RDS. AWS provides several
database engines like Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server etc. As the company is familiar using
Oracle so it can work on it using AWS and this would be beneficial as they need not require
to train employees as they familiar with oracle environment if so they move to other
6. “TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP (TCO) ANALYSIS”
6
database they have train employees to work on that database. So by using Amazon RDS for
Oracle under two licensing modes license included and bring your own license. Under the
license included the Oracle Database is licensed by AWS underlying hardware resources
and Amazon RDS management capability. So it provides a relief to company when the
license is included no needs to worry of the license of software and bring your own license
can use the existing oracle database license.
TVS Motor can use the Amazon cloud front. This integrates with other AWS services
products to give the developers and business can distribute these service to the customers
with low latency and high data transfer. It provides the facility of global content delivery.
These services of AWS can resolve networking issues. It also has no usage commitments.
The company should also use Amazon cloud watch as it provides the monitoring services for
all the resources and the applications that run on AWS. It can hereby collect and track
metrics and so they can monitor log files. By using AWS cloud watch the company can track
the running of applications.
AWS can work on all windows operating system and all Linux/Unix. So Amazon services
AWS Data Migration Service provides the facility to migrate the data to AWS database easily
and securely. The AWS uses Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). AWS resource in virtual
networking environment it can select your own IP address range, creation of subnets and
configuration of route table and network gateway. It can hereby customize Amazon Virtual
private cloud.
The company uses AWS services such as Amazon Machine Engine (AMI). It contains the
base operating system they can install the SAP software. In the AWS the SAP software on
top of it. A large section of public AMI is available for Amazon and EC2 Amazon community
it is possible to create AMIs. It can launch the instance AMI is needed. AWS supports SAP
software to work on it. AMI provide the information required to launch an instance virtual
server in the cloud.
AWS and SAP work together for providing solution for enterprise applications. Amazon
services are used by using Auto scaling service is enabled by Amazon cloud scaling the
services up and down based on the traffic network. Amazon provides services for Adobe
AutoCAD and 3D CAD design is collaborated with AWS. The company’s most of its design
have in been in the Adobe format. AWS provides the privacy and security to all of its
documents are in an encrypted manner.
The company should also tend the services of AWS Direct Connect. This amazon services
provides the location over a standard 1gigabit or 10 gigabit Ethernet fibre optic cable. Here
then by using this service amazon AWS cable is connected to the router here the other end
is connected to an AWS direct connect router. Here by Amazon virtual private cloud is done
by passing internet service provider in the network.
By moving to the cloud to on premise it reduces the cost. By using the cloud service of
Amazon. AWS and Amazon EC2 provides the stronger assurance of the customer base that
would be critical point solution is less expensive. AWS load balancing has high performance
on the hardware. AWS ELB provides the load balancing service to the customers and the
hardware is completely abstracted. Here On-premise may pay extra feature for geo-load
balancing by using AWS EC2 has the feature of Auto Scaling so there is no issues of
network traffics it can be easily managed by Amazon. Here AWS EBS IO performance is
poor and in case of On-premise options is unpredictable. TVS Motor proposed cloud
solutions can reduce the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) as compared to On-premise.

Total Cost of Ownership Analysis & Variables:
TCO provides the realistic and holistic measure of long term costs required to acquire and
operate technology solutions. Return of investment (ROI) is the method to evaluate and
prioritize technology investment in the company. TCO model focus on Cloud Computing to
minimize the overall cost of On-premise costs. The TCO is defined by this methodology as
TCO=Acquistion costs + Operational Costs. In the On-Premises and AWS the values of
Server Costs, Storage costs, IT Labour Costs and Network costs and IT labour. TCO adopts
the cloud based solutions reduces or eliminates traditional capital expenditure (CAPEX) in
the favour of operational expenditure (OPEX) the organizations prefer often CAPEX over
OPEX. Since then all the payments against the income statements.
AWS biiding Startegies helps in reducing the cost of TCO of an Company. AWS bidding
startegies are:
Optimizing cost
Bid around previous trends in history
Bid On-demand price
Bidding highest amount possible
These all factors contribute in reduction TCO using AWS as compared to that of On-
premise. TCO is a financial estimate intend to determine the direct and indirect costs
involved in a financial estimate. TCO methodology was first determined by Gartner Group.
TCO must be compare direct costs involve floor space, storage and IT operations while
indirect costs such as network, storage infrastructure and IT operations involved in it. TCO
include all acquisition and operating costs. TCO determines the TVM (Time value of money).
COMPRASION OF TCO ON-PREMISE VS AWS Variables:
TCO of On-premise and AWS is illustrated in the form of graph to give a clear and vivid
idea of TCO spent:

RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCULSION:
TCO (TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP) shows the direct and indirect costs met hereby using
the AWS services TVS Motor can reduce the TCO in an effective manner. TCO hereby
compares all the direct and indirect costs met by the company so by moving to Cloud
Services provided by AWS the company could save their resources.
By moving to AWS the company could save 90% by moving the infrastructure to AWS. The
AWS resources can cut the unwanted costs spent on the On-premises that leads to excess
dependency on CAPEX is met here.
The Company used to spend a lot of money on Infrastructure maintenance, Software
Licenses and salary of employees etc. So by moving to AWS they need not worry about the
maintenance Licenses of Software and Network all of them are well maintained in AWS. BY
using the AWS, they will be cut down the employees by doing so this reduces Financial
burden of the Company and saves lot of money.
By using the AWS resources, the Sales employees of TVS Motor on field can access the
data from anywhere and it would turn out to be beneficial while by using On-premise
resources the employees have to spent a lot of money in the company. The Cloud resources
provided by AWS is useful even for the customers they can access the resources provided
by the on any devices. So by using AWS this helps the company perspectives of providing
better services to the customers.
By using AWS data backup services could be done easily and it can retrieve and use data
as compared to On-premise resources it used to lots of time to update and backup
resources by using AWS resources these services of data storage could be done by using
AWS resources like EC2, EBS etc. By using these resources, the company saves lot of
money by using these resources. Moreover, all the AWS resources are based on pay for
what you use so there is no worry of excess of money to be spent it depends on the usage
of the firm. AWS resources provides better support to the Company and AWS support these
resources.
The better feature of AWS is that if the data is lost a replica of it is stored in other place this
provides a relief to the company. As data could be lost On-premises due to some problems
whereas AWS keep a copy of data of AWS in the resources of amazon and moreover the
geographical location of choosing the datacentre is chosen based on the company’s choice
and the company need not worry in terms of security as well as networking as AWS provides
the better services to be standout.
TVS Motor could use all their enterprise software and oracle software on AWS and there is
no need to bother about the licenses as AWS provides choices of providing licenses by AWS
or On usage licenses brought by the company and more over by using the floor space of
data Centre is not an issue with AWS so all the costs can be cut down by using AWS.
By using AWS, the company could reduce the TCO and more over by moving to Cloud the
company can save lots of money. As Cloud Services provides better Security, Reliability and
all other features. It is hereby recommended that TVS Motor should use AWS Cloud
Services so they could be leading providers in automobile industry and so they could
marginally invest the money saved from IT to other resources.
TVS Motor should opt for AWS so as to reduce financial burden spent on various resources
spent on IT and hereby using Amazon Web services they can reduce their TCO.
