Recent economic conditions have changed the way that business operates. To adapt demands innovative ideas and solutions. At the same time, the world is becoming smarter—more instrumented, interconnected and intelligent. Businesses have to manage increasingly large data pools and a customer base with higher expectations, without spending more on IT...
The document outlines the structure and responsibilities of an Exchange & Service organization. It includes three subdivisions: Outgoing Exchange, Incoming Exchange, and EP Management. Outgoing Exchange works with outgoing exchange participants and CEED selection. Incoming Exchange focuses on matching trainees, receiving CEEDers, and quality tracking for internships.

Este documento anuncia una nueva funcionalidad para el licenciamiento de puertos en switches Flex que permite mayor flexibilidad. Ahora cada licencia habilita un pool de puertos del que el usuario puede asignar libremente entre puertos internos y externos, en lugar de habilitar un puerto fijo por nodo como antes. Esto ahorra costes al permitir cubrir más puertos con menos licencias. Los switches deben tener la versión 7.8 del sistema operativo de IBM para usar esta nueva funcionalidad.
The IBM Flex System Interconnect Fabric provides a scalable network fabric for connecting compute nodes and storage within a Flex System POD using a single IP management approach. Key components include the SI4093 System Interconnect module for connecting nodes within a chassis and G8264CS aggregation switches. The fabric reduces latency and simplifies management by representing the POD as a single network element to upstream networks while providing a loop-free Layer 2 network internally.

AVALON IBM Sys-X Hybrid Cloud
1. IBM Systems and Technology
Case Study
Computer Services
Avalon
Differentiates itself from the competition with an
innovative hybrid cloud solution
Overview
The need
IT hosting provider Avalon was growing
rapidly, but its infrastructure was
struggling to keep pace with client
demands for more agile and flexible
hosting services and cloud-based
offerings.
The solution
Built a hybrid cloud on IBM® System x®
servers that supports both Windows
on the Hyper-V hypervisor and CentOS
Linux on the KVM hypervisor, and
integrates seamlessly with public
cloud services.
The benefit
Performance has increased dramatically,
despite a 50 percent reduction in
hardware footprint. Ongoing server
and networking costs cut by 50 percent.
Redundancy boosts availability above
99.9 percent.
Avalon is a premium web hosting provider in Croatia. It has
around 6,000 clients, mostly from the Adriatic region, and manages
16,000 domains. It is currently the only Croatian company that has
attained both ISO 9000:2008 quality management and ISO 27001:2005
information security certification.
Meeting growing client demands
To support the growth of its business, Avalon needed to replace its aging
infrastructure of dedicated Dell servers with a virtualized cloud platform
that would be scalable and flexible enough to meet its clients’ demands
for on-demand computing.
Damir Mujic, founder and CEO of Avalon, comments: “Public and
private cloud infrastructures each have their advantages in different
situations. We wanted to find a hybrid infrastructure that could offer
our clients the best of both worlds.”
Avalon’s customers want the freedom to deploy the best
computing resources for each requirement, regardless of the
underlying platform. “Our IBM System x solution enables us
to create hybrid cloud solutions that allow our customers to
scale both horizontally and vertically, bringing together
private and public resources.”

Innovative hybrid cloud solution
Working with IBM and IBM Business Partners Altus IT, BCS
and M-San, the Avalon team replaced its Dell servers with
16 IBM System x3550 M4 servers to handle the hosting workload, plus
a pair of IBM System x3650 M4 servers as backups. The System x servers
use the latest Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v2 series processors, which offer
an optimal combination of performance, built-in capabilities and cost-
effectiveness. Avalon also upgraded its network with IBM System
Networking RackSwitch™ G8052 switches. IBM Global Financing
arranged payment terms that enabled Avalon to optimize its cash flow
by spreading out the capital cost over time.
“The new infrastructure provides full redundancy at the network,
hardware, storage and hypervisor levels, which enables us to offer
better than 99.9 percent availability,” says Mujic.
The Linux cloud services offered by Avalon are hosted on CentOS
servers virtualized using the KVM hypervisor. They are managed using
OpenNebula cloud management software, which is REST (representa-
tional state transfer) API compatible with Amazon S3 and EC2 cloud
services. Similarly, the Windows cloud services—based on Windows
Server 2012 virtualized on Hyper-V with the Windows Azure Pack—
provide REST API compatibility for public Azure clouds.
“Our Linux and Windows private cloud environments can be seamlessly
integrated with public cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services
and Microsoft Azure,” says Mujic. “Effectively, our customers are already
running S3, EC2 or Azure in their own private environments, and can
use RESTful APIs to extend those environments into the public cloud.
This gives our customers an enormous amount of flexibility in how
they manage their clouds, and practically unlimited scalability.”

Case Study
IBM Systems and Technology Computer Services
“None of our competitors
currently offers a true cloud
service in our region, so the
IBM solution really
differentiates us.”
—Damir Mujic, founder and CEO, Avalon
Impressive cost savings
Compared to the old Dell servers, the new IBM hardware provides
better performance while reducing the total physical footprint by more
than 50 percent—saving space, power and cooling in the data center.
“With the System x servers, our ongoing hardware and networking costs
have been reduced by about 50 percent, and we now have a much more
powerful and flexible platform on which to build our future business,”
says Mujic. “The x3550 M4 servers offer excellent performance for
multiple virtual environments, enabling us to support a large and
diverse multi-tenant cloud.”
As its customers’ requirements grow, Avalon can quickly and cost-
effectively provision new virtual machines for them. Rather than investing
in their own permanent in-house infrastructure, these customers can
adjust their landscapes up and down in line with changing patterns of
demand. For intense, short-term peaks—for example, during seasonal
sales periods—users of the Avalon cloud can even rapidly add new servers
from the Amazon or Azure public clouds to help them manage elevated
levels of web traffic.
“Crucially, thanks to the IBM solution’s full integration with external
public cloud services, it also enables us to scale both vertically and
horizontally, giving our clients the IT resources they need, as and when
they need them,” says Mujic. “Instead of making large investments in
their own infrastructure, our customers benefit from a secure, flexible
and highly cost-effective hybrid cloud.”
“None of our competitors currently offers a true cloud service in our
region, so the IBM solution really differentiates us,” he concludes.
