Transformation: Cloud Back in 2011 we worked with multiple managed service providers in multiple data centres. We started the process of automation early though, adopting Puppet even at this stage. 2011

We used automation and built tools to ensure customers didn’t even notice.

Transformation: Data & IoT - challenge How to become more data led when productizing a phone? Hundreds of mobile devices under test with individuals Who has tested what, for how long? How many phone / modem / system crashes? Can we launch?

How to make an Android mobile phone

Drivers Qualcomm provide a layer of drivers to work with their hardware. Power Management, Camera, Modem, Security, Sensors etc. Qualcomm provide a layer of drivers to work with their hardware. Power Management, Camera, Modem, Security, Sensors etc.

How to make an Android mobile phone Drivers Linux The Linux layer consists of the kernel as well as boot code

How to make an Android mobile phone Drivers Linux “Android” - AOSP Google’s Android actually only makes up this part – the “Android Open Source Project” and “Google Mobile Services”

How to make an Android mobile phone Drivers Linux “Android” - AOSP Apps Vertu adds its own Apps, to support the services which come with our phones. Other Apps from the play store form this layer too.

How to make an Android mobile phone Drivers Linux “Android” - AOSP Apps System Integration Partner System Integration Partner As with most Android phone manufacturers, we use a System Integration Partner to help us make all these layers of software work optimally together. This involves tuning settings, making custom changes and applying thousands of patches.

Splunk’s MINT can help here! App providers will fix their own apps. Tackling quality issues in this layer is well supported and understood. Splunk’s MINT can help here!

There is a lot of software here, with many parties working on it. If it goes wrong it means your phone resets, runs out of battery, misses calls, takes fuzzy photos etc. The phone can reset silently too! This is where the big challenge lies!

Transformation: Data & IoT – our solution

Metrics collation agent During the productization phase, we run an agent on our phones to collect metrics: uptime, crashes, battery stats and other product health information

Transformation: Data & IoT – our solution Metrics collation agent The phones regularly upload metrics to a web service running in our Amazon cloud

Transformation: Data & IoT – our solution Metrics collation agent A Splunk Forwarder feeds the data into our Splunk Enterprise cluster

Transformation: Data & IoT – our solution Metrics collation agent Splunk will send out alerts to our crash analysis team whenever a phone reset is detected

Transformation: Data & IoT – our solution Metrics collation agent The project management team will use Splunk dashboards to assess the state of the software

The future Our Digital Transformation is ongoing:

The future Our Digital Transformation is ongoing:

The future Our Digital Transformation is ongoing: Using AWS resources in a smart way – auto scaling up and down, RDS and DynamoDB

The future Our Digital Transformation is ongoing: Climb that pyramid! Employ Jenkins, Packer, Consul.io to build a world class continuous delivery system

The future Our Digital Transformation is ongoing: Continue to improve our use of Splunk and data – real-time searches, new features in Splunk 6.3, more dashboards. JIRA integration
