We are here to talk about: Our strategy and our approach to Cloud workloads. Get your view on our approach, how we can work together closer on the virtualization and cloud opportunity. We want to disclose BladeCenter Foundation for Cloud, which is announcing Aug 9 th (Note: Availability is Aug 16 th for all except BladeCenter chassis with BNT which is Aug 31 st ) Lastly, our partners have been telling us that we are silent on Cisco’s entry into x86 space. So we included a topic on Cisco UCS from a competitive standpoint. We want this to be a discussion and want to get your feedback and views on how we can work together closer.
A journey needs to transformation needs to be scalable. Progression toward transformation starts with optimizing existing assets/processes and leverages best in class technology at each transition. Each step balances improvements in efficiency and effectiveness and can be measured by business returns. You may have done some tradititional IT or consolidation or server virtualization. Virtualization alone is an essential step towards full cloud capability. But much more value can be attained by continuing on the path (standardize, automate etc). Doing virtualization but not virtualization optimization leaves many organizations without the the tools to determine whether the virtualized images are in fact being utilized per their targets. Readying the infrastructure requires the implementation of a Dynamic Infrastructure: consolidate your servers and storage, implement virtualization technologies to increase utilization, standardizing processes for operational efficiency, automating procedures for a more flexible delivery and enabling clients for self-service. Then you can identify common workloads and set up shared resources, and finally, to achieve a true cloud-enabled environment, clients must be able to provision the workloads in a dynamic fashion. An organization can move to cloud systematically taking one step at a time, or they can move right to a public OR private cloud deployment if it aligns best with their strategic vision for the business What level are you at in this Journey ? And what help are you looking for to get to the next level?

The key message is that ISDM is an integrated software suite pre-installed on cloudburst but can be implemented on existing customer servers to provide the full benefits of cloud. While virtualizing a standardized infrastructure is the first step in moving towards a private cloud – introducing automation, a self-service portal, approval processing, monitoring of services and chargeback is where organizations reap the full rewards of a complete cloud delivery model. IBM’s solution delivers more value in a pure feature by feature comparison. We have included the best features from our mature service management suite of solutions- but integrated them into a single solution offering, so that you don’t have to worry about integrating components and maintaining a long list of products that comprise a single solution. Service Delivery Manager orchestrates provisioning of virtualized systems – on demand via a self service catalog or manually – immensely speeding up the time to deploy new services and improving the reliability of the process by removing human manual processes. It can also help manage large numbers of virtual images with our VM versioning and library – which significantly decreases the complexity of a large virtual environment. Service Delivery Manager does not stop there – it also offers monitoring to make sure that virtual applications are up and running, monitoring for energy utilization, high availability to restart services, and usage and accounting to charge users for the “services” consumed. Service Delivery Manager is the powerful, engine behind whatever cloud delivery model - IaaS, PaaS or SaaS – you choose to deploy. TSAM, ITUAM, ITM, TSA; IBM Systems Director and VMControl

The blue dotted line indicates the pervasiveness of the virtualization platform as a base across the cloud offerings --- either in the factory integrated form or as reference configurations. The yellow box denotes that we are focusing our incentives on BCFC, Ref configs from BCFC, and Cloud Starter Kit. We could muddy up the slide further and show the Cloud Starter System, but I thought better of it. Starter System - = BCFC with Starter Kit for now (eventually will have other system x offerings).
