Ability to elastically scale resources
at significantly lower
incremental management cost
Ability to elastically
scale resources and maintain
high quality of service
Common Attributes of Clouds
Enhanced user experience
Elastic scaling
Automated provisioning
Highly virtualized
End Users
Anywhere access to applications
through a simplified user interface
Financial Analysts
Rapid time to market
for new services.

INNOVATIVE BUSINESS MODELS
SIMPLIFIED SERVICES
Public Cloud
Enterprise Cloud
• New combinations of
services to form
differentiating value
propositions at lower
costs in shorter time
• Cloud applications
enable the simplification
of complex services
• A cloud computing
platform combines
modular components
on a service oriented
architecture with flexible
pricing
• An “Elastic” pool of high
performance virtualized
compute resources
• Internet protocol based
convergence of networks
and devices

Delivering Quality of Experience with Unparalleled Scale
A “cloud” is an IT service delivered to users that has:
 A user interface that makes the infrastructure underlying the service transparent to the
user
 Reduced incremental management costs when additional IT resources are added
 Services oriented management architecture
 Massive Scalability
Cloud Computing
Software as a Service
Utility Computing
Grid Computing
• Solving large
problems with
parallel computing
• Offering computing
resources as a
metered service
• Network-based
subscriptions to
applications
• Anytime, anywhere
access to IT
resources delivered
dynamically as a
service.

Cloud Computing deployments and services
Public Clouds
(provider - Internet)
Private Clouds
Hybrid Clouds
(data center - Intranet)
(public and private)
Services
Applications, Processes and Information as a service
Software platforms as a service
(optimized middleware – desktop, application
servers, database servers, portal servers, etc.)
Infrastructure as a service
(virtualized servers, storage, networking)

Industry hypothesis is that clouds will be driven by scale.
However to capitalize on this, providers must address the server management
cost problem, not just CAPEX

IBM Technology Adoption Program (TAP) Cloud Deployment
What is TAP?
The Technology Adoption Program (TAP) is IBM's new model for managing
technology to drive innovation for our internal transformation & growth
Dynamic
Scheduling
Pain Points:
•
•
•
Responding to rapidly changing business needs is difficult
Deployment of infrastructures is mostly manual, slow, tedious, labor
intensive, and error prone
Servers are not available quickly and cost effectively for innovation
Monitoring
Cloud Services
Solution:
Tivoli Provisioning Manager:
•
Automated provisioning of Servers, Operating Systems and Middleware and
Storage.
IBM Tivoli Monitoring:
•
Integrated monitoring of performance and availability
WebSphere Portal and Process Server:
•
Centralized, standard, and reliable interface
Innovation

Benefits:
•
•
•
•
Enable 25,000 IBM innovators to quickly and easily prototype and deploy
new technologies for 100,000 early adopters
Projects can start immediately – “priceless”
Reduce system admin install and configuration time of TAP solutions from 3
to 5 days to less than an hour
Lowers costs – hardware 4:1, administration 7:1
