Dynamic Hybrid

Public Cloud

Hybrid Cloud +

Hybrid Cloud Definition The connection of one or more clouds to

on-premises systems and/or the connection

of one or more clouds to other clouds

Dynamic Hybrid is the future

As workloads move to a Hybrid model, challenges are created

Integration of information and

business processes

Business processes span multiple

environments

Portability of workloads

Hybrid cloud management

Maximizing flexibility for the future

Fast, secure access to only the data

your app needs

The new hybrid cloud

The new hybrid cloud is more than

the sum of it's parts. It is open by

design, providing the freedom to choose

and change your environments, data

and services with visibility, control and

security everywhere.


Portability for Cloud Workloads

Public Dedicated On-premises

Containers are a critical foundation of Hybrid Cloud

and portability.

Building consistent APIs for Infrastructure and Services across cloud environments.

Applications can be built so that they can move from the data center to

the cloud (for example) based on business priority and demands


Management takes a new twist in Hybrid mode

Public Dedicated On-premises


A DevOps approach that delivers rapid

iteration, bursting and lifecycle

management

An enterprise security model that reaches

into the cloud to secure applications end-

to-end

Systems Management capabilities that

can monitor and manage in the cloud

and in the data center

Distribution and location of data based on

need and regulatory compliance

Ability to move workloads across different

delivery models (Private cloud, public cloud)

based on business need

Synchronization of data and information across

applications and business processes that

extend into the cloud

Integration

Security

Portability

Data

Delivery

Visibility / Control

These are the key IT architecture elements to consider when planning for Hybrid Cloud


Three things to consider when moving forward in Hybrid

1. Develop your strategy – multiple approaches to Hybrid

2. Evaluate your IT architecture for how it should evolve to

address the challenges brought about by Hybrid

environments

3. Consider evolving the role of IT to include one of “Cloud Service Broker” for the enterprise

Create Consume


Takeaways

Cloud, Mobile, Social and

Analytics are enabling

business transformation at

Internet scale and speed

The resulting Hybrid

environment creates both

challenges and opportunities

for enterprise IT

Adapting to this new Hybrid

world will be the key success

factor for CIOs and their

teams over the next few years

Applying Cognitive Computing to Message Delivery in Enterprise Systems

A Multidisciplinary Team Approach

Ann DePaolo, Barbara Neumann, Molly Stevens


Applying Cognitive Computing to Message Delivery

� This presentation will relate cognitive computing, specifically the attributes:

�Adaptive

�Intuitive

�Interactive

�Contextual

� to z/OS information development and the delivery of several thousand user and console

messages in z/OS.

� Our multidisciplinary approach uses our respective backgrounds in computer science,

technical writing, information architecture, XML, and user technology.

� How we apply our knowledge to enhance the search and information experience for

Enterprise Computing customers.

Introduction: Who We Are


Introduction: Who We Are

� Our presenters bring a diverse set of experiences to the ECC conference:

�One of us is a recent hire employee who has a background in information technology,

computer science, and web services.

�Two of us are experienced software engineers who practice content development and

information planning for many z/OS operating system releases.

�We vary in years in our user technology experience and collaborate from different

viewpoints, with our interdisciplinary backgrounds.

�All three of us have a commonality that we will use as an example, producing

documentation for z/OS MVS system messages.

� Barbara – Operating systems overview

� Molly – Tools and Infrastructure

� Ann – Collaborative teamwork


Let’s Look at the Data

� Is this content really considered “big data?” Yes, and it is structured big data.

� Thousands of system and component messages; textual information and context.

� Our z/OS library is coded in XML.

� We are tagging our XML to be compliant with computers that will use cognitive

computing/analysis to look at our documentation.

� We are set up for content classification.

� Molly plans more infrastructure tooling to use this classification.

� We want to improve search results for messages and other text.

� In the future, the tagging will help the search in the z/OS library for companies that use

XML.

z/OS Operating System


z/OS Operating System

� We will present a chart showing the design and flow of the z/OS operating system for

Enterprise Computing mainframe software. This is a historical chart that shows the z/OS

elements, including JES2, JES3, MVS, TSO/E, z/OS UNIX, z/OSMF, and other critical

components.

� We will relate the chart to an everyday task that many system programmers perform, and

show how the information, including a large number of component messages, is used.

� We are including this z/OS chart, showing the system components, as a physical poster

graphic, at the conference.
