What else?

 The

average lead time 4-6 weeks

to get a new application environment up and running is – Approvals, procurement, shipment, HW installation, license procurement, OS installation, application installation, configuration 

30% of bugs

are introduced by

inconsistent configurations

– These bugs are often of the most difficult variety to detect –

They often emerge when moving between dev/test, QA, production

 Because it’s so expensive to set up an environment, there is an incentive to hold onto them even when no longer needed

“just in case.”

Cloud Computing – a Disruptive New Paradigm that Expands on Previous Paradigms

“Clouds will transform the information technology (IT) industry… profoundly change the way people work and companies operate.”

2009 Scalable computing resources demand as a service

provided

on-

from outside or inside your environment. You can access any of the resources that

live in the "cloud" at any time

and from

anywhere across the network

. The provider can track/charge for your usage.

What is Cloud Computing?

A user experience and a

business model

 Cloud computing is an

emerging

style of IT delivery in which applications, data, and IT resources are

rapidly provisioned

and provided as

standardized offerings

over the web in a

flexible pricing model.

to users An

infrastructure management and services delivery methodology

 Cloud computing is a way of

managing

large numbers of highly

virtualized resources

such that, from a management perspective,

they resemble a single large resource.

This can then be used to deliver services with

elastic scaling

Using Smart SOA Infrastructure: WebSphere CloudBurst

Industry Pains

 Deployment of maintenance takes approx. 30 minutes  Deployment of maintenance is a manual process, often executed in the middle of the night

Smarter Business Outcomes



Deployment took 4 minutes!



Deployment was automated



Deployment was able to be scheduled

, so no one had to wait up to kick off the process

IBM Lab Increases Productivity and Agility

Using Smart SOA Infrastructure: WebSphere CloudBurst

Industry Pains

 OS security compliance issues due to virtualization  Low rates of hardware utilization  Agile development requires high quality and broader testing

Application Resources Information Resources

A Single Pool of Resources By running applications across a pool of resources, applications become inherently highly available; if a server fails, XD moves the work to other servers

Siloed Applications & Resources Single Pool of Resources (Grid) By tying applications to a small set of servers, application availability can be compromised!

Applications can run anywhere; add more servers, applications can run on them.
