The Technology and the Business Side of Cloud
Cloud computing is a model for enabling
convenient, on-demand network access to
a shared pool of configurable computing
resources (e.g., networks, servers,
storage, applications, and services) that
can be rapidly provisioned and released
with minimal management effort or service
provider interaction.*

Simplified Management– Improved admin productivity
– Lower skills required
Fewer Servers and Network
Connections – Fewer cores and connections
– No need for Fibre Channel SAN
Higher Storage Utilization– Deliver SLAs with increased utilization
Lower Software License Costs– Fewer cores
– Database, infrastructure, SW
Lower Environmental Costs– Power / cooling, floor space

Cloud Storage Types and Definitions
Block
File
Object
Archival
Online
Ephemeral
Persistent
• Block storage offerings are differentiated by speed/throughput (as measured in
IOPS) and segmented by lifecycle of the disk. Device location does not matter.
• Ephemeral storage is tied to a single VM and a lifecycle (i.e. it is provisioned
when the VM is provisioned and destroyed when the VM is destroyed)
• Persistent storage has a lifecycle independent of any single VM and can be
provisioned/destroyed at any time and attached/detached to many VMs during
it’s life
• File-based offerings are uncommon among providers, especially among those
targeting cloud native applications
• Primarily targeted at cloud enabled workloads, including big data analytics
• Usage is being replaced in new application development with online object
storage
• Object storage offerings are differentiated by the durability of the data (i.e.
odds of irrecoverable loss) and segmented by the availability of the data (i.e.
time required retrieve).
• An object in online storage is immediately accessible
• An object in archival storage may require minutes to hours to be accessible

Understanding SoftLayer Storage (cont.)
SoftLayer Storage…
Integrates industry-leading protocols by utilizing the most widely used storage protocols,
providing a wide range of fast, reliable, cost effective, and scalable storage options. Administrators
can choose the level and type of storage that meets their resources and needs.
Provides enterprise-grade security by transferring all data directly from customer’s private
VLANs. SoftLayer’s revolutionary Network-Within-a-Network topology gives the private network the
highest level of security while not obstructing administrator access.
Maintains exceptional connectivity by leveraging SoftLayer’s notable connectivity within and
between its geographically diverse data centers, transferring data fast and dependably. Each server
rack features 10 Gb uplinks to the array, utilizing jumbo frames for maximum performance at near-
zero latency.
Offers geographic diversity by working between SoftLayer’s data centers across the country,
seamlessly transferring data from one geographic location. Customer’s can have a server in any of
the data centers and integrate it with a combination of storage options in one or more other
locations.

license that provides unlimited licenses for VMs
• Customer may also bring their own license for the hypervisor,
including operating systems for VMs
Local vs. SAN-Based Storage Private Cloud IP Addressing
Local Storage• Best performance

SAN-based Storage• High availability
• Ideal for light, front-end operations
• Ability to assign larger volumes
• Lives on SoftLayer managed SAN
Performance and Endurance Storage optionalNote: All secondary volumes are considered portable storage and may be
transferred between servers; can be either local or SAN.
• Each Virtual Machine requires a unique IP address
• Purchase a portable IP block to assign and reuse IP addresses on
VMs
• VMs on Private Clouds require appropriate route entries configured
for 10. network so VMs can route on SoftLayer’s backend network
© 2015 IBM CorporationPage 31Webinar – UP, UP & AWAY

your own backup solution, for example Tivoli Storage Manager
including TSM Node Replication, Veeam, etc.

What are the RIGHT questions to ask?
Why are you considering cloud?
“What are the top business problems where Cloud can help?”
“Can you describe the key pain points?”
“How well does that work today?”
“How are you adapting to market changes as fast as your competitors?”
Driving the right business outcomes
“Can you describe the business outcomes you would like to see?”
“Are you trying to be a Cloud Provider or a Cloud Consumer?”
“How will that outcome be measured?”
Aligning cloud business value with business outcomes
“Which are the greatest problems to solve first / in 3m / 6m / 12m?”
“How quickly can we shift to the Cloud model?”
Selecting the right workloads for the Cloud
“What are the easiest workloads to start with?”
“Which workloads will have the greatest to gain from a Cloud model?”

Notes:
Performance is in Internal Throughput Rate (ITR) ratio based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput that any user will
experience will vary depending upon considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore,
no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve throughput improvements equivalent to the performance ratios stated here.
IBM hardware products are manufactured from new parts, or new and serviceable used parts. Regardless, our warranty terms apply.
All customer examples cited or described in this presentation are presented as illustrations of the manner in which some customers have used IBM products and the results they may have achieved. Actual
environmental costs and performance characteristics will vary depending on individual customer configurations and conditions.
