6 Oblasti nevhodné pro Cloud Computing
DevOps Disaster Recovery Archive Moving to Cloud Database Workloads Collaboration Risk & Compliance Web Applications Mature workloads Big Data & Analytics e-Commerce Isolated workloads Customer Service Applications with Sensitive Data Mobile Front Office / Desktop May be ready for Cloud Social Business 3rd Party Applications Development & Test Workloads Applications with complex processes & transactions By definition clouds are workload specific and need to be highly optimized to the work. For example, different workloads have very different architectural characteristics – think about how Google is optimized for search or massive reading, Amazon for web displaying, and Salesforce for a heavy multi-tenant environment. Those areas that have a high degree of affinity with the cloud model – technically and from a risk/reward perspective – include Infrastructure as a Service and Software as a Service solutions. Workloads that clients are adopting now include test and development, desktop, collaboration, storage, compute and analytics. All of these are highly standardized….the more standard the environments the better the economics are going to be. There are other workloads that will never move to the cloud due to regulations, criticality, or security concerns. And new workloads are being made possible due to the benefits of clouds - massive scalability and self-service, economies of scale – such as medical images, fraud detection, or energy management. IBM takes workloads into account when building our cloud solutions… IBM’s Cloud Approach Our cloud solutions are based on workloads, grounded in service management, and offer flexible delivery choices to help our clients create an infrastructure that is designed to support their business. Workload optimization Development and Test; Desktop; Collaboration; Analytics; Compute Rapid return-on-investment and productivity gain Deployment choices Public, private, hybrid We have Smart Business services, which are the private cloud and IBM cloud delivered solutions. . .these allow us to help clients build cloud-based infrastructures either on the IBM cloud – such as the Information Protection Services – or behind the clients’ firewall. We also have our Smart Business Systems, which are pre-integrated, purpose-built hardware and software systems that are optimized for a specific workload. We’ve introduced the new CloudBurst solution – a complete package that features one vendor, one order, a single packaged price, one install – all done by IBM. And the IBM Smart Analytics System – which integrates IBM’s powerful analytics software with power systems, storage and networking – to deliver an easy-to-deploy Smart Business System. Service Management: Service delivery, service request, service monitoring Lowers operational costs, drives efficiency, enhances security Delivering these new services -- on-demand and without interruption -- requires the datacenter to become even more highly automated. Hardware, software and processes must work seamlessly as a comprehensive service management system to optimize workloads and maintain service quality. We provide the service management layer where our clients can gain control over the operational dimension of cloud -- utilization, governance, security, etc. But service management doesn’t stop in the datacenter. You need to be able to manage the entire service lifecycle, across all areas of IT. Processes, tools and functions must be integrated and aligned across enterprise architecture, development and test, and IT operations. This is the focus of IT service management, and ITIL v3. Service management is the discipline that keeps your data center together. Consulting Services: I also know that many clients – and some of you might be in the audience – are still grappling with how to best leverage cloud within your own environment. To help with this, we’ve developed consulting services to help select appropriate workloads based on business impact to your business. We find using this entry points helps ensure success rates on first cloud projects.

15 IBM je dlouhodobě podporovatelem „Open“ technologií
Application Servers Cloud Computing Service Oriented Architecture Service Orientation Social Business Open Cloud Architecture June 1998: IBM enters into an engineering agreement with The Apache Group for development of the open-source Apache HTTP server software eventually becoming the leader of the new Application Server market Let’s set the stage for the importance of an open cloud by looking at IBM’s recent history since the mid-90s. From this timeline, you can see that IBM has a history of using and fostering innovation to drive open solutions by ensuring that industries come together on specific technology areas to accelerate growth and innovation. For example, can you even imagine what our world would look like if we were still fighting over standards for web pages? Of course not, but the only reason we are NOT still arguing over the format of web pages is because companies like IBM championed and grew the early standards required for a standardized web experience including HTML and HTTP standardization. The same can be said for SOA and now Cloud Computing. We must standardize technology in order to accelerate growth and innovation. But our story here is not just about developing open source and open standards for standardization across the industry, it must also be about providing valued differentiation around open source and standards, creating interoperability and then putting it into our products with increased value. This is exactly what IBM has done for open source and standards in the past and will continue to lead moving forward. It’s important for you to know that you can all be proud when we talk about IBM’s open cloud leadership and cloud solutions. IBM is leading THE major open source and standards initiatives across industries and then building these technologies into our solutions to ensure interoperability and flexibility for our clients. March 2014: IBM joins the launch of The Cloud Foundry Foundation to evolve PaaS and application development for the cloud. September 2012: IBM orchestrates the launch of The OpenStack Foundation boasting $10 million in funding and 5,600 members changing the dynamics of the Cloud ecosystem September 1999: IBM capitalizes on an untapped market trend and begins participating in the community development of Linux with a $60M annual investment November 2001: IBM rallies 150 influential vendors and the development community around a new tools environment with a $40 Million software donation disrupting the leadership of the software development ecosystem 15

685 Data centra 13 Síťové vstupy 17 Let’s start by introducing SoftLayer, an IBM Company. SoftLayer is one of the largest cloud infrastructure providers in the world, with more than 100,000 devices under management for 21,000 customers in 140 countries. SoftLayer operates a global footprint of 13 data centers and 17 network points-of-presence around the world, filled with servers, storage, routers, firewalls and load balancers. But the heart of this service isn’t servers or network cables. It’s a software platform that provides a complete operating system for the data center – that automates every aspect of infrastructure as a service – and that allows us to deliver the industry’s broadest and highest performing cloud platform. A brief history – SoftLayer was founded in 2005 by a team of technology and business leaders with a wealth of experience providing managed hosting and infrastructure services. Their vision was to build a new kind of on-demand hosting company, driven by software automation and sophisticated management tools – cloud computing before the term was widely used, you might say. By 2013 SoftLayer had become a global company with a management team comprised of seasoned hosting and cloud computing leaders; the market leader in Web hosting and home to more of the world’s top 100,000 sites and apps than any other provider. In July we were acquired by IBM, combining our leadership and innovation in cloud with the technology industry’s global innovation leader. Top 100,000 Sites By Hosting Provider Source: Hostcabi.net

Row upon row of x86 server sits patiently waiting to be pressed into service. You can deploy virtual instances into a shared public cloud environment, build high-performance dedicated servers or provision private clouds with your choice of several different virtualization stacks. Connect virtualized and bare metal, leverage onboard storage – SAS, SATA or SSD – SAN and NAS solutions or build on top of our global Object Storage platform. Add firewalls and load balancers for security and availability. Provision everything from a robust management portal or build autoscaling functionality directly into your app via our API. Deploy physical or virtual from a unified, image-based server provisioning system, and organize your infrastructure into Virtual Racks for ease of management and communication. You can start with a virtual server, snapshot with our Flex Images technology and instantly deploy a mirror image on a physical device – all the necessary conversion happens behind the scenes. Go the opposite direction and move from dedicated to virtual, or leverage a suite of features on bare metal – such as server cloning and image-based deployment – previously available only on a virtualized platform.
