1 The IBM Platform Computing HPC Cloud Service Solution Overview

2 Industry-leading workload management 20 years managing distributed scale-out systems with customers in many industries High performance workload management combined with intelligent resource scheduling engine Unmatched scalability (small clusters to global grids) and production-proven reliability Heterogeneous manages System x and Power plus 3rd party systems, virtual and bare metal, accelerators / GPU, cloud, etc. 23 of 30 largest commercial enterprises 60% of top financial services companies Over 5M CPUs under management Shared services for both compute and data intensive workloads Integrated solutions with vertical reference architectures 2

3 3 Elastic Storage (GPFS) - The Industry Standard for High Performance, Scalable Storage 15 years in the marketplace Broad adoption across many industries Technical computing - Government, Educational Enterprise computing - Business Analytics, Financial Services, Electronic Design Automation, Life Sciences, Oil & Gas Exploration, Media Over 3,000 customers world-wide Growing in double digits year to year Industry proven, minimizing risk

4 What s driving our clients to the Cloud Strategic direction set by CxO Moving IT to the cloud across the business Demand for greater flexibility to meet varying workload demands No spare capacity in current data centres Re-focus IT staff to higher value work to better serve business needs Compute demands are increasing but staffing budgets are not IT expected to deliver greater agility to better serve needs of the business Reduce capital expenditure and move from capx to opex IT model New business models made possible by cloud adoption (ISV SaaS) Low capital outlay test / dev environments for migrations, new developments Deploying shared resources for collaboration, joint research, sub-contractors 4

5 But Deploying high-performance applications in the cloud can be harder than it seems! 5

6 Challenges deploying applications in the cloud Performance Clients may experience poor or unpredictable performance making it impossible to guarantee service levels 6

7 Exceptional performance Bare-metal, dedicated infrastructure Fast networks, specialized hardware Advanced data management Meet performance goals in less time at a lower cost 7

8 Exceptional performance Benefit from continual technology refresh Performance Cloud resources Benefit from continuous infrastructure upgrades Onsite resources Performance remains fixed for the life of the assets Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 8

9 Challenges deploying applications in the cloud Performance Privacy & security concerns Concerns about placing sensitive data on a shared infrastructure where it may be visible to others, legal requirements, geographic boundaries etc.. 9

10 Security and data integrity Dedicated, isolated environment Each cluster isolated on private VLAN Secure, encrypted tunnel Secure, reliable file system Decomissioned disks scrubbed with DoD approved methods 10

11 Challenges deploying applications in the cloud Performance Privacy & security concerns Lack of cost transparency Concerns about escalating costs and being locked into a public cloud only approach without the freedom to run applications locally as needs evolve 11

12 Cost transparency & flexibility assured Dial resources up and down as needed Retain flexibility to deploy on-premise or in the cloud Burst to cloud resources based on business policies Reporting, usage-based accounting On-premise On-cloud 12

13 Challenges deploying applications in the cloud Performance Privacy & security concerns Lack of cost transparency Local points of presence Local in-country presence for better network performance, or to meet specific legal or regulatory requirements 13

14 Massive, global datacenter footprint Amsterdam London Frankfurt Paris India China Hong Kong Tokyo Montreal Seattle Toronto Chicago San Jose Denver New York City Dallas Washington D.C. Los Angeles Houston Atlanta Miami Mexico City Singapore BRAZIL New Data centers in 2014 Data center and Point of Presence Network Point of Presence Melbourne Sydney 14

15 Massive, global datacenter footprint 100,000+ servers 21,000 customers 20,000,000 active domains 40 data centers, 5 continents Global DNS, DDOS mitigation 15

16 Challenges deploying applications in the cloud Performance Privacy & security concerns Lack of cost transparency Local points of presence Unique requirements Some applications have unique requirements fast interconnects, parallel file systems, specialized hardware 16

17 Challenges deploying applications in the cloud Performance Privacy & security concerns Lack of cost transparency Local points of presence Unique requirements Support You are an expert in your application, but you don t want to be an expert in cluster and workload management. Also, you may not have budget for additional required infrastructure 17
