Cloud computing is a new

consumption and delivery model

inspired by consumer

internet services.

• Essential characteristics:

1. On-demand self-service

2. Broad network access

3. Location independent resource pooling

4. Rapid elasticity

Challenge: Accelerate Cloud Enable a secure, integrated cloud with rapid provisioning of compute resources

PureFlex System

When clients are looking to leverage integration across compute, storage and networking with integrated platform, virtualization and cloud management to most rapidly deploy cloud environments vs. having to assemble all the elements of the cloud from components. Lead with PureFlex System when the competition is threatening to take out an existing IBM system or when we have the opportunity to set the converged infrastructure agenda where IBM does not have hardware incumbency.

BladeCenterSystem x High Volume Rack

When clients are looking for an integrated hardware solution that forms a strong virtualization system or foundation for cloud, with lower level management requirements.When clients are looking for flexible and entry price point for cloud deployment to drive lowest total cost of acquisition.

Enterprise Power Systems

When the client desires to extend their current enterprise infrastructure to deploy a resilient, scalable and secure private cloud for UNIX, IBM i and Linux applications.

zEnterprise When the client desires a private enterprise cloud to achieve the highest levels of utilization, multi-tenancy, fine-grained usage and accounting, workload automation and security.

PureApplication System

For clients building highly automated, elastic clouds with all required cloud management for transactional web and other application types delivered via application or system patterns for platform as a service.

Advanced Provisioning and Image Management

Create Images – Simple UI tooling simplifies creation of virtual images and deployment patterns simple UI • Packages are reusable across different platforms

Store Images - Federated image library allows management of image complexity across multiple image repositories and hypervisors • Understand how which images are deployed where and how images relate

(or don’t relate) to each other• Images stored in hypervisor-neutral format

Analyze and Manage Images - Introspect images and perform analytics to reduce risk and duplication• Ensure that virtual machines are created with the proper level of security

patches• Reduce duplicate or near-duplicate images to save storage and reduce

management

Entry Level is an easy to deploy, simple to use software offering that features a self-service portal for workload provisioning, virtualized image management, and monitoring. It's an innovative, cost-effective approach that also includes security, automation, basic metering and integrated platform management

Think about a conductor in an orchestra…………

1. Customers are looking for end to end automation of cloud service delivery to achieve greater returns2. Provisioning play a key role, but is just one of many steps that must be automated3. Each customer has unique requirements to integrate with existing data center processes and tools.

Patch and

Compliance

Patch Management:

• Reduce security risk by slashing remediation cycles and reduce patch cycle time from weeks to days/hours

• Gain greater visibility into patch compliance with flexible, real-time patch monitoring and reporting from a single management console

• Efficiently deploy patches, even over low-bandwidth or globally distributed networks reducing labor requirements by over 75%

Discover and analyze images for security breaches to patch endpoints for over 98.5% compliance

Storage Management for Virtual Environments: Reduce storage footprint by 90% and improve time to value backing up thousands of VMs in

minutes

• Simplify the protection and management of data with 30% improvement in storage tier utilization• Automate data replication to reduce labor by 36% while minimizing service disruptions and speed restorations and

backups• Increase efficiencies and conserve resources with data de-duplication and a hierarchy of storage• Enhance data security with advanced access and encryption features

Reduce storage footprint by 90% and improve time to value backing up thousands of VMs in minutes

Cost Management: metering and billing (showback)

• Visibility of virtualization resource costs for invest/ divest decisions• Determine rates based on resource cost and real resource usage• Provide resource usage and enable accurate billing • Control resource supply through showback

25% reduction in financial accounting labor cost

Advanced Monitoring: Optimize availability with resource utiliztionIncrease visibility by monitoring physical and virtual environments and lower TCO with 75% improvement in capacity

• Gain visibility into health and performance across physical and cloud resources• Reduce VM resource consumption by 50% with capacity planning driven by historical

performance data• Spot bottlenecks in workload deployments and improve availability in 30% less time• Reduce hypervisor license costs by 20% or more by consolidating VMs onto fewer physical

hosts

Dynamic Application Patterns: Proven best practices and expertise learned from decades of client and partner engagements

To efficiently deliver an optimized platform, service providers need to implement software patterns

• Pre-defined architecture of an application or Cloud service

• Captures best practices for complex tasks

• Optimized into a deployable form for private or public cloud

• Repeatable deployment with full lifecycle management
