Cloud Computing – Transforming Software Delivery Michel SPERANSKI IBM Rational Market Manager [email_address]

Virtualization is a Fundamental Imperative “ Virtualization is the process of presenting computing resources in ways that users and applications can easily get value out of them, rather than presenting them in a way dictated by their implementation, geographic location, or physical packaging. In other words, it provides a logical rather than physical view of data, computing power, storage capacity, and other resources .” Jonathan Eunice, Illuminata Inc. Virtualization is far more than just partitioning or single products. It is rapidly becoming a core IT technology, an additional platform. “Server Virtualization is now considered a mainstream technology among IT buyers” - IDC Report, 2006

An Effective Cloud Deployment is Built on a Dynamic Infrastructure …. = CLOUD COMPUTING … leveraging virtualization, standardization and automation to free up operational budget for new investment. VIRTUALIZATION + STANDARDIZATION AUTOMATION + Cost Flexibility

Cloud Scenarios Private Cloud Hybrid Cloud Public Cloud IBM Development Platform as a Service is deployed in customer site or on IBM servers with VPN connection to customers network (Virtual Private Cloud) Primary Servers are in customer site but some agents and worker machines are deployed externally (spillover). For example: Build Forge using an Amazon EC2 or IBM SDS cloud server as an Agent. Servers and Agents are hosted by IBM and the entire stack (Paas and IaaS) is rented IBM Hosted Servers IBM Hosted Servers Amazon EC2 Agents Enterprise Private Cloud IBM / OEM Public Cloud VPN IBM Public Cloud ( IaaS) IBM Development Platform aaS IBM Development Platform aaS Enterprise Private Cloud IBM Development Platform aaS IBM Development Platform aaS

Enterprises are more comfortable with test and development “in the cloud” than production use “ For each of the following workloads, what is your company’s type of use or expected type of use for pay-per-use hosting of virtual servers?” Source: Enterprise And SMB Hardware Survey, North America And Europe, Q3 2008 Base: 439 North American and European hardware decision-makers at enterprises with interest in or implementation of pay-per-use hosting of virtual servers Test and development Production

Developer Cloud Provisioning an unmanaged tool service (RTC) in the cloud 2. User selects the virtual image for the tool required in the RAM catalog and agrees with T&Cs 1. User logs in the developer cloud through the cloud logging portal. RRC Developer Cloud RAM RQM RTC 3. User selects and rents the server and storage required for the service based on his/her needs IaaS 4. User requests the provisioning of the selected tool on the selected HW in the cloud RTC 6. When service is completed, user deprovisions the service, returning the HW for other users 5. User can use tools to simplify, automate and govern software delivery for his development team Tools in the cloud Instant Access Best Practices encapsulated in the virtual image
