Getting There: Easier than you think!

© 2012 IBM Corporation28IBM Cloud LabsIBM SmartCloud Center

Step 1. Choose the right partner IBM provides the right hardware, software and expertise and global reach to help your organization fully leverage the cloud.

A next-generation combination of technology, expertise and reach helps you advance your cloud deployment.

2000cloud engagements in the first 6 months of

2011 alone.

1Mmanaged VM

machines.

4.5M daily client transactions

through public clouds.

“IBM has one of the most comprehensive cloud portfolios.”

– Jeff Vance, Datamation


Things to think about

Is your current structure delivering all of the available data points and insights required to run your business?

How long does it take you today to add a new server or VM instance to your existing application landscape? How many new servers or VMs are you adding per week or month?

Do you have the integration and management skills available to meet the required timeframe?

Once this implementation is successful, how many more cloud services would you like to deploy in the next 12-24 months? Will you have the budget to manage, and the skills available to deploy them?

Do you have the skills available to achieve your desired security level within the desired timeframe?


Getting to Cloud!
