We want to enable your next billion dollar idea.


It starts with a line of code. Code should be

the focus.


Let’s review some common problems


Prototyping and experimenting costs money


Bluemix solution

Developer playground

environment encourages

tinkering.

Quickly deploy to the

Cloud and see results

fast.

No costs upfront (free

tier) allows freedom to

experiment.


Setting up a deployment environment takes time


Bluemix solution


Spending time installing middleware keeps

me from coding

Platform activity is difficult to monitor without

configuring additional add-on capabilities

Tour of Bluemix


Exploiting advantages of SoftLayer

• Dedicated network backbone – economic and speed benefits apply to

BlueMix

• Bare Metal allow for optimized services (e.g. Hadoop, DB on

iSCSI/SSD)

• Geographic footprint

Catalog: IBM and Third Party

• Watson services

• Enterprise services (Cloud Integration based on CastIron)

Based on open source (Cloud Foundry)

• Possible integration with other PAAS services

Key Bluemix Differentiatiors

Pricing – Example

After the 30 day trial you decide to pay for the next 30 days to run the app you developed. You chose:

– node.js that costs 0.07 per GB-Hour and has 375GB-Hours free allowance/month

– two 512MB instances (i.e 0.5GB RAM instances)

– You run your app for 30 days (720 hours)

Total cost is calculated as follows:

– 2 instances x 0.5GB RAM per instance x 720 hours = 720 GB-hours

– Apply reduction of 375GB-Hours monthly free allowance:

720GB-hours – 375GB-hours = 345GB-hours

– 345GB-hours x 0.07$/GB-hours = $24.15
