The document discusses cloud computing and its benefits. It summarizes that cloud provides a flexible way to deliver IT solutions and lower costs. It presents three use cases where cloud computing can help by reducing time-to-market, providing elastic computing power when needed, and allowing organizations to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure maintenance. The document promotes IBM's cloud strategy and services for developing and implementing cloud solutions. It highlights IBM's BlueMix platform and SoftLayer infrastructure as key offerings.

2. Agenda
• Why Cloud?
• Cloud consumption models
• Why IBM?

3. Your company is using solutions „as a Service” since a long time.
Now it is time for IT to embrace flexible and convenient way of delivering
Infrastructure, Platforms and Software as a Service.

4. What is Cloud???
Cloud is not a specific solution,
platform nor product.
Cloud is a new way in which IT solutions
are delivered & consumed by Business.
Private Cloud & IT
Pros:
• Full control
• Advanced management
• Strong security
IBM PoV: Hybrid Cloud
The best features from both worlds
Maximization of investment
Matching infrastructure with application
Balance between security and elasticity
Equalized investment (Capex vs. Opex)
Shorter innovation cycles
Pros:
• Low entry costs
• Pay-per-use,
• Elasticity
Off-premises / Public Cloud
Dynamic Hybrid
Hybrid Cloud+

5. Cloud use cases
Case #1:
Challenge: New project initiative requires PoC (Prove of Concept).
Additional development platform and dedicated server is needed.

IBM Cloud allows you to focus
on what is really important
Maintenance vs. Innovation
Case #3:
Challenge: Organization is maintaining complex ERP system landscape (many
environments, many systems).
Large & dedicated team is needed just to keep this platform running.
