How we’re working with clients and SmartCloud Entry
A nationwide retailer using SmartCloud Entry
• Retailer has requests come in from their internal clients (i.e. development)
• These unplanned requests typically take 3 weeks to address
– 1 week for storage team; 1 week for system team; 1 week for network team
• It’s an ineffective, untimely approach
• Using SmartCloud Entry to create a private cloud
• SmartCloud Entry was an attractive entry point to cloud because it allowed the retailer to manage unplanned requests faster with provisioning in minutes or hours vs weeks
• The IT department is more responsive to the needs of the business without utilizing additional resources

How we’re working with clients and SmartCloud Entry
Hosting business is becoming a Cloud Service Provider
• This business wants to expand their business model
• Wants a simple, self-service portal for administrators to be able to build systems for their clients
• Wants an automated way to deploy AIX, IBM, i and Linux
• They have 90% of the underlying software infrastructure to deploy SmartCloud Entry – so it’s an efficient, cost-effective way to deploy a cloud
