IT Costs Are Increasing => Motivation for change

What else?

The average lead time to get a new application environment up and running is 4-6 weeks

– Approvals, procurement, shipment, HW installation, license procurement, OS installation, application installation, configuration

30% of bugs are introduced by inconsistent configurations

– These bugs are often of the most difficult variety to detect

– They often emerge when moving between dev/test, QA, production

Because it’s so expensive to set up an environment, there is an incentive to hold onto them even when no longer needed “just in case.”

Cloud ComputingCloud Computing

“Clouds will transform the information technology (IT) industry… profoundly change the way people work and companies operate.”Scalable computing resources provided on-demand as a service from outside or inside your environment. You can access any of the resources that live in the "cloud" at any time and from anywhere across the network. The provider can track/charge for your usage.

VirtualizationVirtualization

What is Cloud Computing?

A user experience and a business model Cloud computing is an emerging style of IT delivery in which applications, data, and IT

resources are rapidly provisioned and provided as standardized offerings to users over the web in a flexible pricing model.

An infrastructure management and services delivery methodology Cloud computing is a way of managing large numbers of highly virtualized resources

such that, from a management perspective, they resemble a single large resource. This can then be used to deliver services with elastic scaling.

Industry Pains

Deployment of maintenance takes approx. 30 minutes

Deployment of maintenance is a manual process, often executed in the middle of the night

Smarter Business Outcomes

Deployment took 4 minutes!

Deployment was automated

Deployment was able to be scheduled, so no one had to wait up to kick off the process

IBM Lab Increases Productivity and Agility Using Smart SOA Infrastructure: WebSphere CloudBurst

Industry Pains

OS security compliance issues due to virtualization

Low rates of hardware utilization

Agile development requires high quality and broader testing

Smarter Business Outcomes

No OS security compliance violations in 4 months

Increased server utilization up to 90%

Reduced standardized topology deployment from over 2 hours down to 18 minutes

Leveraged existing hardware and software assets

a. Server Consolidation• Dynamic workload adjustment

A Single Pool of Resources

By running applications across a pool of resources, applications become inherently highly available; if a server fails, XD moves the work to other servers

Siloed Applications & Resources Single Pool of Resources (Grid)

By tying applications to a small set of

servers, application availability can be

compromised!

Applications can run anywhere; add more servers, applications

can run on them.
