ESEconf2011 - Cruywagen Leon: "Cool ways to work smarter in the cloud"Aberla
Leon Cruywagen discusses how cloud computing can help businesses address challenges through reduced costs, improved security and resiliency, and increased agility. Cloud computing offers a new consumption and delivery model for IT resources on-demand via the internet. IBM is investing in cloud computing to meet internal and client needs through data centers globally and a portfolio of cloud services across planning, building, and delivering clouds. Working with partners, IBM aims to help businesses optimize their cloud journey and take advantage of the opportunities cloud provides.
This document discusses cloud computing trends through 2012. It notes that cloud computing has become a major IT trend and that 69% of online users already utilize public cloud services. However, not all enterprises fully subscribe to the cloud due to constraints versus benefits. The document explores what cloud computing is, how it has evolved from previous technologies, and the value it provides to businesses through flexibility, economies of scale, and pay-per-use models.
SOA involves exposing business functions as reusable services. This allows for greater agility, flexibility and reuse of services across different applications. SOA breaks down monolithic applications into discrete services that can be accessed over the network in a standardized way. This trend is driving the development of loosely coupled, interoperable services that can be discovered and orchestrated to meet business needs.

Topic: The Value of the Cloud in the Business Technology Ecology
BDPA New York Chapter
This document discusses SOA and cloud computing and how they are complementary. It defines five key attributes of cloud computing: service-based, scalable and elastic, shared, metered by use, and using internet technologies. It then discusses different types of cloud service offerings and SOA types. The document notes that adoption of externally facing APIs is accelerating. It discusses enterprise-level challenges and possible solutions involving leveraging core capabilities and horizontal platforms while integrating on-premises and on-demand solutions.
This document introduces the Real-Time Cloud, a cloud computing platform tailored for the software industry. It highlights challenges software companies face around sales, customers, and competition. The cloud delivers lower total cost of ownership through no upfront license fees, lower implementation costs, free upgrades, and predictable expenses. Customers can succeed immediately in the cloud with rapid implementations and fast business results like increased sales and improved customer satisfaction. The Real-Time Cloud provides cloud solutions for software companies' executive teams, R&D, marketing, sales, service, professional services, and more.
SmartCloud Monitoring, Peter Vernegreen, IBMIBM Danmark
This document discusses IBM Global Technology Services' use of Tivoli software to manage its IT infrastructure and support clients. Key points:
- GTS uses Tivoli to manage over 20,000 server images across its Nordic landscape supporting various industries.
- Tivoli supports GTS' strategy of delivering high quality IT services through 10 product lines like IT strategy, middleware, and security services.
- GTS has a global deployment of Tivoli tools including monitoring, discovery, and asset management to provide standardized solutions.
The document summarizes an executive panel and Q&A session at IBM's Pulse 2011 conference. The panelists include senior vice presidents and general managers from IBM divisions focused on middleware, software, security, systems, and rational software.
The panel likely discussed key messages around improving infrastructure affordability and flexibility, enabling product and service innovation, and unleashing analytics to gain insights and improve business predictability. Integrated service management plays a role in achieving these goals across areas like virtualization, cloud, security, and analytics.
The discussion focuses on evolving integrated service management capabilities for a new era of smarter computing across IBM's portfolio.
Similar to Acclerating jounrey to cloud computing (20)
The document discusses how virtualization can help organizations achieve maximum value through improved power efficiency, reliability, and more integrated systems. It notes that digital data is growing exponentially and many companies will need to modify their data centers to handle this growth. Virtualization can help organizations reduce costs, improve service delivery, and better manage risk by consolidating servers, storage, and networking infrastructure. When combined with integrated service management tools, virtualization provides improved visibility, control, and automation of IT resources.
Drive business performance with information analyticsVincent Kwon
The document discusses IBM Cognos Express, an integrated reporting, analysis, and planning solution designed for mid-sized companies. It highlights that mid-sized companies are important drivers of economic growth but often lack tools and resources for effective business intelligence. IBM Cognos Express is presented as an affordable and easy-to-use solution that mid-sized companies can use to gain insights from their data, align resources based on analysis, and capitalize on opportunities.
The document discusses managing and mitigating risk in businesses. It outlines an evolving risk landscape with new technologies, data growth, and regulatory compliance challenges. Different types of risks are described, from frequent low impact issues to infrequent high impact disasters. Key success factors for managing risk include lowering costs, ensuring compliance, protecting data and applications, and securing the data center. IBM is positioned as being able to help businesses fuel innovation, secure data, meet compliance, and secure their data centers from threats to ensure productivity and reputation.
The document discusses how companies are leveraging cloud computing solutions. It provides examples of how IBM has helped various organizations adopt cloud technologies to improve collaboration, access to resources, and IT efficiencies. Key benefits mentioned include reduced costs, improved flexibility, scalability and security. The document also outlines factors to consider when evaluating cloud solutions and ROI areas to investigate.
The document discusses cloud computing as a new IT delivery and consumption model inspired by consumer internet services. It is driven by virtualization, automation, and standardization which enable economies of scale, flexible pricing, and self-service. Adoption of cloud computing will be shaped by analyzing workload characteristics and risks to determine the best delivery models of public, private or hybrid cloud.
Open systems Specialists: XiV Storage ReinventedVincent Kwon
The document provides an overview of the XIV storage system. It discusses how XIV differs from traditional enterprise storage solutions by using a scale-out architecture instead of a scale-up approach. It also describes XIV's distributed storage algorithm which spreads data across all disks in the system and maintains equilibrium when hardware is added, removed, or fails. The presentation concludes with a live demo of the XIV system management GUI.
This document summarizes IBM Lotus collaboration solutions. It discusses IBM Lotus' mission of empowering people to be more effective, responsive and innovative in their work. It highlights that people complete business tasks based on their individual needs and preferences, and that Lotus collaboration tools provide flexible access to information and expertise.
