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.*

OpenStack IBM Cloud x86-only
IBM is a platinum sponsor of OpenStack Foundation
OpenStack open source codecan manage IBM compute, network and storage resources OpenStack supports x86, POWER Systems and z System mainframe
IBM offers Cinder interfaces on most of its major storage products and Swift interfaces for object access
IBM Cloud is based on OpenStack open source code, with value-added proprietary features from IBM
IBM Cloud Orchestrator andIBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack support a variety of server hypervisors
IBM Spectrum Control™ provides reporting and provisioning. IBM SmartCloud Cost Management provides chargeback capabilities
VMware and Microsoft are entirely proprietary, but have large market share for x86-based server infrastructure
IBM was VMware’s first OEM and joint development partner (since 1998). IBM Global Services is one of VMware’s largest customers
IBM and Microsoft agreement to offer SQL Server and .NET on IBM Cloud and IBM software on Microsoft Azure
“Some assembly required” Enterprise-ready out of the box

Cloud Storage Taxonomy
Reference Storage
• Archives• Images/Video• WORM/NENR
Ephemeral Storage
• Typically boot volumes, page files and temporary data
• Goes away when VMis shutdown
Persistent Storage
• Persists across VM reboots
• Can be shared between VMs
• Transactional• High Performance
Storage as the Storage CloudStorage for Compute Cloud
Hosted Storage
• File and Object access• File Sync & Share• Backup/Disaster Recovery
© Copyright IBM Corporation 2015
Cloud Storage Overview
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 the lifecycle of a single VM (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
• 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 to retrieve)
• An object in online storage is immediately accessible
• An object in archival storage may require minutes to hours to be accessible
