Caratteristiche differenzianti di Softlayer
• Isolamento: offerta «bare metal» che prevede server, storage e
apparati di sicurezza completamente dedicati al cliente,
aggregabili in soluzioni Private Cloud.
• Offerta IaaS completa: server x86 (OS: *linux*, Windows,
Vmware, Citrix), storage (endurance e performance), apparati
di rete e sicurezza: tutti virtual o dedicated
• Isolamento fisico della rete privata (locale e geografica) dai link pubblici attestati su
Internet. Rete privata tra i DC utilizzabile senza costi aggiuntivi
• VLAN indipendenti per ogni cliente, apparati di rete e sicurezza dedicati
• Compliance: Softlayer è contrattualmente conforme ai requisiti normativi
sulla gestione dei dati in termini di Privacy. EU Model Clauses nei contratti italiani
• Virtual Core garantito a 2.0 Ghz, oltre la media dei vCore offerti sul mercato per VM
• Prezzi da intendersi “chiavi in mano”, senza costi nascosti:
• supporto tecnico 7x24 gratuito via ticket, email, chat o telefono
• Traffico Internet in uscita incluso nel prezzo di ogni macchina mensile (250/500 GB).
• Tutto il traffico Internet in entrata è comunque gratuito

Partnership
Key
takeaways
Accelerate enterprise hybrid cloud adoption by enabling customers to easily
and securely extend their existing vmware workloads, as they are, from on-
premises data centers to the cloud.
•VMware on IBM Cloud takes advantage of bare metal performance, jointly
designed architectures and IBM services to allow users to operate a consistent
and seamless cloud that spans hybrid environments
•VMwware customers can take advantage of IBM’s growing footprint of 46
Cloud Data Centers worldwide
•IBM and VMware jointly offer hybrid cloud deployments : workload migration,
disaster recovery, capacity expansion, data center consolidation
