Effectively Plan for Your Move to the CloudPrecisely
Many companies using Power Systems running IBM i are looking to more some or all of their workloads to the cloud. Whether the motivation is to optimize their spending or allow for a more flexible consumption model, the cloud can provide unique opportunities to optimize their IBM i environment.
IBM Power Systems Virtual Server is one way to get the benefits of hybrid cloud, maintain the high performance of IBM Power Systems while modernizing at your pace and price point, on and off premises.
As companies move to a cloud environment, they need to consider the challenges of migrating their workload. Migrations always require detailed, coordinated planning and flawless execution. This is especially true today when downtime of any duration is completely unacceptable. So, above all other considerations, maintaining continuous uptime throughout the process is absolutely mandatory.
Watch this on-demand webinar to hear about:
• Benefits of a hybrid cloud approach for IBM i
• Ways the IBM Power VS can add value to your IBM i environment
• How to effectively scope and execute a migration to the cloud.

OpenStack Summit: How companies of all sizes leverage OpenStack based private...Duncan Johnston-Watt
OpenStack Summit Boston, May 8-11 2017
Session: 18810
IBM is all about open technologies and pairing up with best of breed technology partners to build cloud solutions that enable customers choice and efficiency at scale. With years of experience delivering private clouds for companies of all sizes, IBM has collected technical expertise and lessons learned that are re-invested upstream to the OpenStack community and ultimately codified into our solutions.
In this session, Azmir Mohamed, IBM Bluemix Private Cloud Offering Manager, will share customer use cases for hosted and on-premise private cloud deployment models and address how these models meet differing customer requirements. Duncan Johnston Watt, Founder and CEO of Cloudsoft, will join Azmir to discuss why Cloudsoft selected Bluemix Private Cloud two years ago and how the recently announced Bluemix Private Cloud with Red Hat option has extended the value Bluemix Private Cloud brings to the market.
