Many organizations are struggling with key questions around cloud – strategy, delivery models, and workloads

1. Could we utilize cloud services?

2. How would cloud support our organization’s objectives?

3. What would be the benefits?

4. Would our current IT infrastructure support cloud delivery?

5. How can we develop a road map to achieve our cloud objectives?

How do we plan for and get started with Cloud?

Workloads characteristics will drive the rate and degree of standardization of IT and business services, the complex transaction and information management processes for a rapid ROI and productivity gains

Risk and migration cost may be too high� Database� Transaction processing� ERP workloads� Highly regulated workloads

Workloads that can be standardized for cloud� Web infrastructure applications� Collaboration infrastructure� Development and test� High performance computing

Services that are made possible by cloud� High volume, low cost analytics� Collaborative Business Networks� Industry scale “smart” applications

The Cloud-Affinity of existing applications depends on multiple factors: compliance and cross-border issues, site-dependency (for performance or data size), app-specific benefits of migration, and the ease and cost of migration.

IBM Information Protection Services on the cloud

Information Protection Services uses cloud-based technologies to help alleviate the burden of protecting your information with professionally managed business continuity and resiliency services

� With remote data protection, automatically back up via your existing network through the cloud to our security-rich, offsite data centers or onsite to your own data center

� With fastprotect online, you can use the proven IBM Tivoli Continuous Data Protection for Files software as a service to back up your PCs and laptops

� Support for multiple delivery models

– On the IBM cloud

– On a private cloud

The United States Golf Association depends on IBM Information Protection Services cloud services, both email management express for e-mail recovery and remote data protection to back up its servers.

Jessica Carroll, managing director of IT for the

nonprofit governing body of golf, says her existing

backup and disaster-recovery plans were well

designed for business conditions five years ago. But

they were no longer adequate for today's world in

which companies can't afford to be down for even

brief periods of time. She looked for a better option

and found a cloud-based business resiliency service

from IBM. “IBM's reputation and the services it was

offering were enterprise class,” Carroll says. “I knew

right away this was the way to go. The product was

so strong.”

Typical Testing Environments* and the challenges faced today

* “Industry Developments and Models – Global Testing Services: Coming of Age,” IDC and IBM Internal Reports

Infrastructure• 30% to 50% of all Servers within a typical IT environment are dedicated to Test

• Most Test Servers run at less than 10% utilization, if they are running at all

• Test environments are seen as expensive and providing little real business value

• IT staff report a top challenge is finding available resources to perform tests in order to move new applications into production

• Testing backlog is often very long and single largest factor in the delay new application deployments

• 30% of all defects are caused by wrongly configured test environments

Testing and Managing Defects• Clients are:

– experiencing significantly higher defect density than expected, but cannot identify root causes that enable them to take actions that result in reducing the defects

– unable to keep test execution plan due to constrains related to manual test activities and resource availability

– unable to provide sufficient test coverage due to constrains related to environment availability and production like data to adequately test the system functionality
