No Cloud is an Island

The document discusses how DevOps approaches can help organizations accelerate software delivery through expanded collaboration, automating processes, and reducing feedback times while balancing speed, quality, cost and risk; it also examines challenges of adoption at scale, maintaining innovation versus optimization in multi-speed IT environments, and how IBM capabilities can help organizations achieve continuous delivery across hybrid clouds.

The document discusses how technology is transforming the way we live and work at an increasing pace. It describes how the focus over the last 15 years was on IT-centric systems of record and transactional data, while the next 15 years will focus on business-centric cloud-native apps, systems of engagement and insight, and streams of data and analytics. Digital businesses need a truly digital workforce that can empower new ways of working, modernize the user experience, and innovate by pushing decision-making to the edge. Dell EMC aims to help customers transform by combining industry-leading capabilities and expertise across converged infrastructure, storage, data center infrastructure, secure laptops, cloud IT infrastructure, server virtualization, and more.

IBM Blue Box is a private cloud as a service offering that provides a dedicated, scalable OpenStack cloud infrastructure either hosted in IBM data centers (Blue Box Dedicated) or on a customer's own premises (Blue Box Local). Key benefits include fully managed infrastructure, high availability, security, and flexibility to scale compute, storage, and networking resources as needed. IBM provides expertise in deploying and managing the OpenStack environment so customers can focus on applications.

Executive summary of implementing containers, microservices and continuous deployment in the enterprise data centre.

IBM provides a portfolio of cloud services including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). These services can be delivered through IBM's public cloud (SoftLayer), private cloud, or on-premises to help customers build hybrid cloud solutions. IBM also offers professional services to help customers design, deploy, and manage their hybrid cloud environments.

This document provides an overview of cloud computing. It introduces Nathaniel Gates and Keith Dobson, who will discuss cloud computing. The agenda includes an overview of cloud computing, why it is relevant now, how to get started, and the future of IT in Alaska. Cloud computing provides on-demand computing resources over the internet. It can save companies money compared to traditional infrastructure models by providing flexibility and scaling. There are different types of cloud including Software as a Service (SaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), and Platform as a Service (PaaS). Cloud adoption is growing rapidly and expected to continue growing strongly in coming years.

IBM Presentation during Seminar Seminar Accelerating Business Using Microservices Architecture in Digital Age

By 2021, 98% of organizations plan to adopt multicloud architectures, but only 41% have a multicloud management strategy and just 38% have procedures and tools to operate a multicloud environment. As an IT leader you don't want to stifle forays into multicloud as it is an engine to efficiently support growth, innovation and transformation, however, it can be one of the most challenging changes that organizations face. Join IBM for the keynote presentation where we’ll discuss: • Opportunities and inherent challenges for organizations as applications across categories migrate to multicloud • Stages of multicloud transformation • Best practices from organizations that are succeeding with a multicloud environments

The document discusses the shift in the IT industry towards cloud computing. It notes that cloud computing represents a new deployment option that offers flexible consumption of computing resources and storage on demand. While cloud computing promises potential cost savings and business agility, organizations need to carefully assess which workloads and applications are suitable for a cloud environment versus maintaining existing on-premises infrastructure. A hybrid approach that combines on-premises systems with cloud-based services may provide the optimal solution for most businesses.

This document provides an overview and agenda for a presentation about VMware's end user computing portfolio including Horizon 6. The presentation covers VMware's vision of delivering a secure virtual workspace to users on any device from the datacenter or cloud. It summarizes Horizon 6's capabilities for delivering virtual desktops and applications from the datacenter in a flexible way to promote an engaging user experience. The presentation also highlights technologies like App Volumes for application delivery and Mirage for image management.

The document discusses EMC's hybrid cloud solution. It provides an overview of EMC and VMware's federated architecture and hybrid cloud approach. Key features of EMC Hybrid Cloud 2.5 are highlighted, including automated provisioning, monitoring, backup/recovery, and the ability to migrate workloads between private and public clouds.

Cloud-delivered desktops are virtual desktops delivered as a managed service via the cloud, allowing secure access to applications and data from any device from anywhere. Traditional desktop management has issues for IT, businesses, and users. Cloud-delivered desktops address these issues by offering all necessary servers, networking, security updates, and licensing as a monthly fee. This solution provides benefits like efficiency, optimization, security, cost savings, flexibility, and control for businesses while being environmentally friendly.

This document discusses developing a multi-cloud strategy to accelerate digital transformation. It outlines a 6-step process: 1. Identify business drivers through stakeholder interviews and use case analysis. 2. Assess cloud readiness by analyzing applications and determining best deployment options. 3. Define enabling capabilities like automation, cost management and security. 4. Choose a management platform and reference architecture for consumption. 5. Organize people and processes with new roles and cross-functional teams. 6. Create a roadmap with workstreams for implementation and ongoing optimization.

Cloud computing is the fifth generation of computing that allows applications to be accessed from anywhere via the internet. It is projected to grow six times faster than traditional IT spending, reaching $42 billion by 2012. Key benefits include lower upfront and ongoing costs, easier application access, and improved datacenter utilization. However, security concerns, latency issues, and lack of control present barriers for some applications. Private enterprise clouds can provide cloud advantages internally while addressing barriers through server virtualization, availability, and control over resource allocation.

Cloud computing allows users to access computational resources like software, data storage, and computing power without needing to know details of the physical systems delivering those resources. It provides dynamism through flexible scaling of resources to meet fluctuating demand, abstraction by hiding technical details from end users, and resource sharing to improve utilization. The three main types of cloud computing services are Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). Cloud computing spending is growing much faster than traditional IT spending and is projected to become a large market.
