Documented CIO IT Storage Related Challenges Year after Year

Multiple point solutions, often from different vendors

Need to transition among storage software offerings

on-premises to Multi-Cloud as business needs change

Adding and removing software licenses is complex and

may lead to dramatic cost changes

– Different licensing metrics

– Different vendor policies

– Can delay projects for procurement

Executives searching for lower and more

predictable IT costs

Inconsistent user interfaces among offerings reduces

productivity and may increase errors

Traditional Data Center Infrastructure Challenges




Traditional IT


According to IDC, by 2020, the

demands of next-generation

apps and new IT architectures

will force 55% of enterprises to

upgrade their existing facilities

or deploy new facilities because

of native cloud application(s)

capabilities.

What problem(s) does it solve?

Converged Infrastructure


What is it?



What is a Converged Infrastructure (CI)?

Converged Infrastructure

• Bundles compute, network and storage in a

single cabinet with common management

• Independent products each with its own

configuration rules and policies

• Reference architectures or bundles

• Sold together or integrated in channel or by

customer

Value:

• Faster deployment path than non-converged

• Integrated management for easier use

• Ease of deployment, updating and technology

migration

• Confidence in a tested infrastructure

• Hardware and space consolidation

• Private cloud orchestration

Multi-Cloud Strategy Leveraging the Latest Technology using

Containers for Kubernetes, Docker, microservices

SECTION




The What and Why of Docker Containers?

Advantages of Containers

• Lightweight footprint & minimal

overhead

• Portability across machines

• Simplify DevOps practices

• Speed up Continuous Integration

• Enable microservice architectures

• Isolation

Containers are an abstraction at the

app layer that packages code and

dependencies together




Properly Evaluate a Multi-Cloud Strategy for Each Workload & Next

Gen Open Source Apps

“Multi will be the most common usage of the cloud.” Gartner, June 2016

Open. Intelligent and adaptive.

Make your infrastructure:

1 2 3Multi-site aware.

Make your software and

hardware open: built on

standards, runs everywhere,

connects to everything

To drive choice

Make your environment smart:

use policy-based automation

and machine learning

To channel opportunity

and innovation

Make your infrastructure

aware: knows where data

is, can move data around

On-Premise IBM Cloud Private Solution

SECTION



Welcome to IBM Cloud Private

The Platform: The core platform is built on

Kubernetes, a container orchestration platform

that works across private, dedicated, and public

clouds and can integrate open source

application runtimes, Helm charts, and other

apps in its containers.

The Catalog: You can discover new services to

use in your applications and quickly deploy

trusted IBM middleware to your private cloud

from the catalog.

Managing your cloud: A core set of management

services for the application runtime frameworks

and the applications that you develop is included

as part of the platform. These management

services include logging, monitoring, access

control, and event management. You can

integrate these tools with other enterprise

management service instances so that you

access all of your management tools from one

location.

Converged Infrastructure Running ICP and/or Public Cloud Offerings

Simplicity with Easy Tier and Best-In-Class Migration

Automatically migrates data to the most appropriate tier of storage and manages it moving forward

for valuable gains in performance and TCO

Efficiency with selectable Real-Time Compression and deduplication or always on Real-Time Compression and deduplication

Stores more as primary active data is compressed / deduped by up to 85% – on the fly – with

increase in performance. Makes current installed storage faster, less expensive, easier to manage.

Versatility with External Virtualization

Ability to virtualize and consolidate other vendor’s installed storage, a feature unique in the industry

with widest range of External Storage Virtualization support available

Flexibility with Modular Scalable architecture

Scale each component (storage, compute, networking) easily without rip & replace with great

flexibility and choice (flash or hybrid) for agility and affordability

No other x86 converged system on the market today brings all these capabilities together
