1 An IBM Proof of Technology IBM Workload Deployer Overview

2 WebSphere Infrastructure: The Big Picture Vertically integrated and horizontally fit for purpose Operational Management & Efficiency IBM Workload Deployer (Images, Topologies, Patterns) WebSphere Virtual Enterprise (Intelligent Management Pack) Batch Processing & Distributed Caching WebSphere Compute Grid WebSphere extreme Scale DataPower XC10 Fit for Purpose Foundations & Programming Models Feature Packs WebSphere Server Foundation IBM JVM 2

3 Increasing complexity, increasing cost 70 per $1 On average, 70% of IT spend goes to maintaining current infrastructure versus adding new capabilities 1.5x Information explosion driving 54% growth in server, storage shipments every year 85% idle In distributed computing environments, up to 85% of computing capacity sits idle 3

4 Growing customer pains increased time to market Avg. lead time to get new application up 4 to 6 months Creation of middleware infrastructure takes too long Delay caused by approvals, procurement, shipment, hardware installation, license procurement, OS installation, application installation, configuration Bugs are introduced by inconsistent configurations 30% Manual or semi-automated efforts are error-prone Often most difficult variety of bugs detected during the move from development to QA or production Poor resource utilization results in increased cost of labor and hardware Setting up an environment is expensive, so there is an incentive to hold onto it just in case even when no longer needed Slow down in technology adoption Future environments require new hardware, instead of recycling returned hardware; cycle repeats 4

5 How cloud computing delivers value ORGANIZATION AUTOMATION STANDARDIZATION VIRTUALIZATION Improves consistency, cost-effectiveness, agility, time to value, and awareness 5

6 VIRTUALIZE: Bring your own private cloud IBM Workload Deployer is a secure, selfservice cloud management hardware appliance Design and deploy consistent and repeatable middleware patterns into your private cloud of virtualized hardware IBM Workload Deployer supports VMware ESX, PowerVM, z/vm Bring your own cloud to leverage your existing underutilized hardware Full lifecycle management for IBM middleware, limited lifecycle management for third part products VM VM VM IBM Workload Deployer VM VM VMware ESX VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM VM z/vm PowerVM 6

7 STANDARDIZE: Middleware models Existing Middleware Standard software installation and configuration on OS Images created through extend / capture Traditional administration and management model Virtual System Patterns Packaged for virtual environments Automated deployment of middleware topologies Traditional administration and management model Virtual Patterns Built for the cloud environment Highly automated, policybased deployment Leverages elastic workload management services Workload Platform Services Virtualized Middleware Services Virtualized Infrastructure Services Standard TCO existing applications Good Improved TCO virtualized applications Better Best TCO cloud applications Best 7

8 AUTOMATE: Factor out repetitive tasks These processes are executed serially for each application environment: Approvals Procurement Hardware Installation Operating System Installation Middleware Installation Installation / Configuration 4 6 months lead time! Factor out repetitive tasks to reduce lead time: Approvals Procurement Hardware Installation Done once at cloud creation / expansion time Operating System Installation Middleware Installation Installation / Configuration Done once at image customization and pattern creation time Click Deploy Done for each new deployment Hours or minutes lead time! 8

9 ORGANIZE: Manage cloud resource usage Dispense a single image, topology or workload 1 2 Run deployment in the virtual cloud computing environment 4 Return capacity to the pool of available resources 3 At end of reservation, remove deployment from the cloud 9

10 IBM Workload Deployer compared to general purpose management Workload Deployer understands what it is dispensing Can do more of the work required for deploying an environment, compared to black-box-dispensing competition Competition considers all deployed products to be black boxes Workload Deployer offers full life cycle management for workload patterns General purpose management products cannot do things like middleware-aware auto-scaling, configuration of connections between different components Use of Workload Deployer results in following benefits: More of the deployment is automated More labor savings More consistent deployments VM Competition VM VM VM VM Deploys machines as black boxes; each VM is treated the same, regardless of its content Workload Deployer IBM HTTP Server WebSphere Server DB2 DB2 WebSphere Portal Server Workload Deployer understands inner workings of IBM products and how to connect them; topology patterns are automatically wired together; workload patterns have full life cycle management 10

11 What does IBM Workload Deployer do for me? Reduces risk / errors by codifying infrastructure and taking a declarative approach to your application environments Offers choices for delivering services in your private cloud Existing middleware, virtual systems, virtual applications Reduces time and effort in installation, configuration, and integration of application environments Simplifies monitoring and management for your application environments 11

12 Deployment models Labor Savings Virtual s Delivered as full solutions, tailored for a use case (for example, IBM Workload Deployer Pattern for Web s) Products in workload patterns are subsets of their GA forms, delivered as an atomic unit Optimized-for-purpose results in limited ability to customize (no scripting required / allowed) Flexibility Virtual Systems Hypervisor Edition Images (from IBM or custom-built) Custom arrangements of Hypervisor Edition virtual images (one image per product), and user scripting IBM sells Hypervisor Edition images containing full function of a single GA IBM product IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool is available on alphaworks Shared Resource Management Shared resource management infrastructure services apply to all models: Cloud resources User/group permissions management Logging, monitoring, license tracking 12
