Private Cloud Must Haves….

Resource Pooling (storage, processing, memory, virtual machines…)– Resources pooled for multiple consumers using a multi-tenant model– Resources dynamically assigned/reassigned by consumer demand

Broad network access– Capabilities accessed over the network through standard mechanisms

Rapid Elasticity (and Provisioning) of Resources– Fast, automated allocation for quick scale out and release to scale in– Appearance of unlimited resources - purchase any-quantity-any-time.

On-demand Self-Service– A consumer can unilaterally provision computing capabilities– Not requiring human interaction with each service’s provider

Measured Service– Systems automatically control, optimize and measure resource use – Usage monitoring, control, and reporting provide transparency

Additionally: High Availability, Fault Tolerance is implied

Simplify storage of thousands of images

Simplify storage of thousands of images

Create Images

• Easily create new golden master images and software “appliances” using corporate standard OS

• Convert images from physical systems or between various x86 hypervisors to use cheaper tooling

• Reliably track images to ensure compliance and minimize security risks

• Conserve resources, reducing both the number of images and the storage required for them

• Deployment of application images across compute and storage resources

• End user self service for improved responsiveness

• Ensure security through resource and VM isolation, project-level user access controls

• Easy to use - no need to know all the details of the infrastructure

• Protect your investment through full support of your current virtualization environment

• Optimize performance on IBM systems with dynamic scaling, expansive capacity and continuous operation
