[A] HELLO WORLD
[J] Jesse Proudman, CTO of Bluebox
[A] Angel Diaz, VP, IBM Cloud Technology & Architecture
[J] We’re proud to be here on behalf of International Business Machines.
[J] You may remember us from such technologies as… the punch card, the selectric typewriter, or The System 360
[J] You may not remember us from other memorable events such as the moon landing. Over the last century, IBM has continuously been involved with some of the greatest changes and innovations in tech
IBM has also been at the forefront of workplace innovation
1914, 76 years before the Americans with Disabilities Act IBM hired its first disabled worker
1935, first professional training school for women
1953 IBM’s first Equal Opportunity policy letter, 10 years before the American Civil Rights act
[A] Despite everything we’ve accomplished, it’s become evident that IBM isn’t well known for cloud.
At the beginning of the year IBM assembled its diverse cloud expertise under a single umbrella: IBM cloud
[A] Cloud computing is at the core of IBM’s strategic initiatives. It is central to the innovation we’re driving across our portfolio. OpenStack is the foundation of our cloud strategy. IBM believes OpenStack is essential to build the next generation of our enterprise cloud technology
[A] IBM Cloud is Open by design. IBM made the decision long ago to support & build on open technology because it offers unparalleled choice & flexibility, enables widespread adoption in the market & because unlike Amazon & Microsoft, we do not believe that we can out-innovate the world. As a cloud provider, no longer can you differentiate with just software. It’s about the experience & the service you deliver to your customers
[J] Open by design empowers IBM’s open cloud architecture. Ultimately, customers care about solutions. Solutions are built on software. Software is derived from composable services, powered by a reliable infrastructure.
This platform of composable services supports customer innovation across a spectrum of domains, including Mobile, Data & Analytics, IoT.
[A] The ability to run across different types of compute models, and connect through a library of connectors & APIs provides powerful place to create and deliver real business value. Software & solutions can be delivered where you need them, when you need them.
IBM Cloud is focused on enabling you consume your cloud where you want it, in a consistent manner across all of your assets. Seamless delivery of assets across a common service model enables clients to build, deliver & manage the business applications better & faster than ever before. One cloud platform, one user experience, built open by design from the bottom, up.
[J] Our commitment to OpenStack isn’t just lip service to the community. We were here from the beginning of the foundation, and as of today… <Build slides>. And we’re in it for the long haul.
[A] We understand that OpenStack is nothing without the code that powers the technology. And if you look at our contributions, from reviews to commits, you’ll see that manifestation of commitment represented in our increasing velocity

[J] To do all of that, it takes quite the team. And IBM’s built just that.
Some may even call it the A-Team. We love it when a plan comes together.
IBM is focused on both upstream contribution and building the world’s best OpenStack offerings

[A] As you can see, a lot has been happening with IBM Cloud. In case you missed it, in June IBM acquired Blue Box.
[J] And we’ve been busy. 90 days after the acquisition we announced blue box dedicated available on Softlayer globally.
[J] And we’ve been busy. 90 days after the acquisition we announced blue box dedicated available on Softlayer globally.
Imagine if you could get all of the power of a public cloud dedicated to you
Imagine if you could have all the power of OpenStack, with none of the pain: That’s Blue Box Cloud.
And it’s available today across SoftLayer’s global network of 30+ data centers
[J] But wait, there’s more: Today we’re proud to announce the general availability of Blue Box Local.
Blue Box local brings all the same capabilities & benefits of Blue Box dedicated into your data center, anywhere in the world.
With Blue Box local, there’s no longer an excuse for a failed product cloud deployment
[A] Dedicated & local are only part of the story. You may have noticed we’ve brought Monty Taylor into IBM Cloud. Because, unlike other players, we’re dead serious about this trifecta of consumption
[A] It isn’t just about infrastructure. IBM brings the power of Cloud Foundry, Containers & a complete service catalog to OpenStack. Public, dedicated, or local, we deliver these capabilities where the customer wants them.
[J] Some of you may remember Watson on Jepordy in 2011. We cleaned up. To the tune of $1M
[A] Powered by OpenStack & Bluemix, IBM Cloud has published more than 30 Watson APIs, ushering in the era of cognitive computing.
[J] Everything we’ve discussed here today is possible because we – all of us in this room – understand that, as individuals, we cannot out-innovate the world. And we all need to help OpenStack continue its global expansion as the premier enterprise-ready cloud software.
Taped under your seat, you’ll find a glow stick. Now, don’t open it yet. Just pull it out from the bottom of your seat & be ready to crack it when you hear the description that matches you.
We are all part of the Global OpenStack Community. And it’s important to take the skills that we have and the things we’ve learned here and use them to help grow our community by getting others involved locally.
Now let’s see how far our influence can reach, if we each go home & help build our communities from there.
If you’re from Japan, please crack your glow stick and raise it in the air. [ADVANCE SLIDE]
[A] Now If you’re from Asia or the Pacific region…
If you’re from the Americas, or the Middle East…
Crack your stick if you’re from Europe or Africa…
Every one, crack your glow stick & raise it up…
We believe OpenStack will win because of all of you. Let’s make sure we carry it forward, thoughtfully, into its fast and furious future…
