The world is connected: economically, socially and technically.
An educated workforce, scientific research, and innovation are all essential
to the development of a sustainable economy where today’s students will be:
� Doing jobs that have not been invented yet
- Estimates are 85% of the jobs today’s learners will be doing don’t yet exist
- The top 10 in-demand jobs in 2010 did not exist in 2004
� Using technologies that don’t currently exist
� Solving problems we don’t know are problems yet

Cloud Platform for Information Systems R&D
� Ho Chi Minh City University of Information Technology (or UIT) is a member of Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City. This project is to setup a R&D lab for information systems based on cloud computing - providing IaaS and PaaS (DBaaS, GIS applications) to researchers and students. This is also a research lab for cloud computing with focus on PaaS in collaboration with Cloud Labs (developing patterns for DBaaS, web applications, GIS applications, etc).
� DOU between UIT and Cloud Labs ASEAN for collaboration in cloud computing and participation in IBM Cloud Academy.
� First PureFlex in Vietnam and first PureFlex+IWD in ASEAN

University of Technology - Cloud Computing R&D Lab� Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HCMUT)
was established in 1957 and has been recognized as a centre of excellence among technological universities in Vietnam.
� The university signed DOU with IBM on setup of
cloud computing lab and SSME in 2009 and joined
IBM Cloud Academy in 2011
� The cloud computing R&D lab focus on key research
topics such as cloud security, HPC cloud and virtual computing lab.

The University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce Extends e-Learning to the iPad with IBM Smart Business Desktop Cloud
� Business Challenge
– The University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce (UTCC) is the oldest private non-profit higher education offering degrees in Business Administration, Accounting, Economics, Humanities, Science, Communication Arts, Engineering and Law. The University has over 20,000 undergraduate and graduate students
– Computer based learning in UTCC was delivered to a mix of student-owned devices as well as computer lab PCs. UTCC’s challenges were:
• Distributing to and supporting UTCC learning applications on student-owned devices (5,000 new users every year)
• Computer lab PCs were insufficient to support students which did not have access to their own computing devices
– Additionally, UTCC wanted to introduce the use of the industry leading iPad tablet device by issuing each AY 2011 student with an iPAD. However, its existing learning applications could not run natively on the iPad
� Solution
– IBM proposed a Desktop Cloud system to provide a single learning access platform
• An SBDC infrastructure to be built in UTCC’s main campus in Bangkok
• Phase 1 to cover 300 concurrent student accesses – those of the foreign language class
• Students to access the Windows-based learning applications using their iPads
• Computer labs to be re-equipped with Thin Client devices progressively, thus lowering TCO of the labs
� Benefits
– Lowered operational and support costs:
• UTCC technical staff no longer need to undertake the gruelling distribution of applications to 5,000 incoming students. Ongoing support is greatly simplified
– UTCC is able to take its e-Learning to a higher level with the iPad
– User crunch at UTCC’s computer labs eased

HPC Cloud: HPC-as-a-Service Model
IBM and NTU join
collaborative effort to converge Cloud Computing
and HPC
Business challenge• To provide the capabilities needed to meet the HPC
Requirements for the NTU Research community.
• To provide and promote Parallel Computational training and
consultation for the Research community at NTU, including:• Understand earth Teutonic movements
• Simulation of flight dynamics
• Scientific Computational Research
• Rendering of animation and movies
Rethinking IT• IBM Smart Cloud Solution with Tivoli’s TSAM and STG’s HPC Cloud Management Suite
NTU’s cutting-edge research is supported with HPC and a Green solutions approach
Business challenge• To continuously advance to the next level
of research, NTU needed a new High
Performance Computing (HPC) Centre
that can manage extensive data handling,
compute-intensive analysis and large-scale
modeling.
Rethinking IT• 300 units of IBM System x “iDataFlex”
• Green Data Centre Design that
significantly reduces power consumption
• IBM hardware design virtually eliminates
data centre cooling requirements, enabling further cost and energy savings.
