The Trends
Today s Business Environment Companies are looking for: Hard dollar savings (no soft costs) 12 month ROI Avoid technology refresh Companies that are publicly traded are interested in: Pushing expenses to the next quarter/year Meeting Wall Street s expectations Financing (to keep cash on hand) Links: http://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/us/en/centerf orappliedinsights/dashboard14/ Trends by Industry
The Industry Outlook IDC Forecasts Public IT Cloud Services Spending Will Reach $127 billion in 2018 as the Market Enters a Critical Innovation Stage
Many Clients Start the Cloud Journey with a Hybrid Cloud Clients are looking for benefits from Hybrid clouds And are preparing infrastructure to build the foundation Higher availability of systems and applications Lower total costs and better utilization of hardware Improved quality of IT services Secure start behind enterprise firewall Highly standardized infrastructure Virtualization Multi-tenancy Service catalog Dynamic resource scaling Half of leading cloud adopters are planning to include multiple systems in their cloud infrastructures
The Realities
The Business Case (Note that acquisition costs are a small part of overall TCO) 10%-50% Acquisition Cost Deployment Maintenance TCO Downtime Security Software 50%-90% Power Asset Management Space For modern IT platforms, 30% of the total cost is the cost of acquiring the equipment. The balance is for IT labor/services to configure, maintain, upgrade, reconfigure, and ultimately decommission the equipment. -- IDC IT organizations are spending from 70-80% of their total IT budgets on maintenance and ongoing operations. -- Forrester

Infrastructure Matters
Infrastructure Matters By implementing cloud services with the right infrastructure your IT environment can provide the agility to respond to the needs of the enterprise.
POWER Infrastructure as a Service Traditional IBM Power System Workloads can be easily migrated and run on the Cloud IBM i (iseries, AS/400) AIX Power Linux
16 Infrastructure Matters POWER8 Is Designed for Superior Performance
Infrastructure Matters Power 8 Agile, Faster, more Scalable DevOps Platform Open, Speed, Agility, Secure, Available POWER8 Advantages POWER8 brings 12 processor cores per socket (50% more that before Higher performance cores shrink the physical server footprint and deliver data faster Much larger memory bandwidth(4x Intel) and capacity means more memory can be placed under a single CPU, providing a better user experience on more devices. Built in encryption accelerators are highly efficient and fast, enabling end-to-end encryption from the device through the network, server and all the way to storage.
More than 50% of the world s web and mobile workloads run on LAMP What is LAMP Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP Scale-out architecture Key solution categories: E-commerce, Content Management Mobile app development Key challenges Open source culture leads to a lack of process & control Known performance issues with many solution leaders on x86 Order and assemble the piece parts On your own to install, configure, tune and support Commodity server RAS, security
