The Technology and the Business Side of Cloud
Cloud computing is a model for
enabling convenient,
on-demand network access to a
shared pool of configurable
computing resources (e.g., networks,
servers, storage, applications, and
services) that can be rapidly
provisioned and released with
minimal management effort or service
provider interaction.*

OpenStack IBM Solutions Partnerships
IBM is a platinum sponsor of
OpenStack Foundation
OpenStack open source code
can manage IBM compute,
network and storage resources
OpenStack supports x86, POWER
Systems and z System mainframe
IBM offers OpenStack Cinder
interfaces on most of its major
storage products and OpenStack
Swift interfaces for object access
IBM offerings are based on
OpenStack open source code with
value-added proprietary
features from IBM
IBM Cloud Orchestrator
supports a variety of server
hypervisors. IBM BlueBox and
IBM PowerVC provide additional
features
IBM Spectrum Control™ provide
reporting, provisioning, trouble
shooting and chargeback
capabilities for storage
VMware and Microsoft are
entirely proprietary, but have a
large market share for x86-based
server infrastructure
IBM was VMware’s first partner
since 1998. IBM has expanded its
partnership with VMware, offering
new cloud tools to make it even
easier for enterprises.
IBM and Microsoft agreement to
offer SQL Server and .NET on
IBM Cloud and IBM software on
Microsoft Azure

Cloud Storage Taxonomy
Reference Storage
• Archives
• Images/Video
• WORM/NENR
Compliance
Ephemeral Storage
• Typically boot volumes,
page files and temporary data
• Goes away when VM
is shutdown
Persistent Storage
• Persists across
VM reboots
• Can be shared
between VMs
• Transactional
• High Performance
Storage as the Storage CloudStorage for Compute Cloud
Hosted Storage
• File and Object access
• Enterprise File Sync & Share
• Backup/Disaster Recovery
8

Cloud Storage Overview
Block
File
Object
Reference
Hosted
Ephemeral
Persistent
• Block storage offerings are differentiated by speed/throughput (as measured in
IOPS) and segmented by lifecycle of the disk. Device location does not matter.
• Ephemeral storage is tied to the lifecycle of a single VM (i.e. it is provisioned
when the VM is provisioned and destroyed when the VM is destroyed)
• Persistent storage has a lifecycle independent of any single VM and can be
provisioned/destroyed at any time and attached/detached to many VMs during it’s life
• File-based offerings are uncommon among providers, especially among those
targeting cloud native applications
• Primarily targeted at cloud enabled workloads
• Usage is being replaced in new application development with online object
storage
• Object storage offerings are differentiated by the durability of the data (i.e. odds of
irrecoverable loss) and segmented by the availability of the data (i.e. time required
to retrieve)
• An object in online storage is immediately accessible
• An object in archival storage may require minutes to hours to be accessible

Complies with NIST SP 800-131A
Data-at-Rest Encryption
• Files are encrypted by application node
• Each file assigned random File-key
• Master-key granularity by file or fileset,
determined by policies
• IBM SKLM stores Master-keys, and nodes must
have appropriate RKM credentials
• Data is encrypted from application node all the
way to NSD (flash or disk) media
• FIPS 140-2 certified
Secure Erase
• Files are cryptographically erased by deleting
their Master-key
• Files that “stay” are re-Mastered to new key

How is Object Storage Different?
Block and File Storage
– Decide where to put it
• For block, which array/volume/LUN
• For file, which filer/subdirectory
– Remember where it is to get it back
– Read/Write records, append data
– Limits on LUN size, number of files
Object Storage
– Provide data over to the Object
storage
• Get “claim stub” reference locator
– Use or share “claim stub” to access
data HTTP, Openstack Swift, S3
– Get/Put/Delete object in its entirety
– Effectively “unlimited” scalability
