The new hybrid cloud
The new hybrid cloud is more than
the sum of it's parts. It is open by
design, providing the freedom to choose
and change your environments, data
and services with visibility, control and
security everywhere.

Portability for Cloud Workloads
Public Dedicated On-premises
Containers are a critical foundation of Hybrid Cloud
and portability.
Building consistent APIs for Infrastructure and Services across cloud environments.
Applications can be built so that they can move from the data center to
the cloud (for example) based on business priority and demands

A DevOps approach that delivers rapid
iteration, bursting and lifecycle
management
An enterprise security model that reaches
into the cloud to secure applications end-
to-end
Systems Management capabilities that
can monitor and manage in the cloud
and in the data center
Distribution and location of data based on
need and regulatory compliance
Ability to move workloads across different
delivery models (Private cloud, public cloud)
based on business need
Synchronization of data and information across
applications and business processes that
extend into the cloud
Integration
Security
Portability
Data

Visibility / Control
These are the key IT architecture elements to consider when planning for Hybrid Cloud
© 2015 IBM Corporation
Three things to consider when moving forward in Hybrid
1. Develop your strategy – multiple approaches to Hybrid
2. Evaluate your IT architecture for how it should evolve to
address the challenges brought about by Hybrid
environments
3. Consider evolving the role of IT to include one of “Cloud Service Broker” for the enterprise

Takeaways
Cloud, Mobile, Social and
Analytics are enabling
business transformation at
Internet scale and speed
The resulting Hybrid
environment creates both
challenges and opportunities
for enterprise IT
Adapting to this new Hybrid
world will be the key success
factor for CIOs and their
teams over the next few years

Applying Cognitive Computing to Message Delivery in Enterprise Systems
A Multidisciplinary Team Approach
Ann DePaolo, Barbara Neumann, Molly Stevens
© 2015 IBM Corporation2
Applying Cognitive Computing to Message Delivery
� This presentation will relate cognitive computing, specifically the attributes:
�Adaptive
�Intuitive
�Interactive
�Contextual
� to z/OS information development and the delivery of several thousand user and console
messages in z/OS.
� Our multidisciplinary approach uses our respective backgrounds in computer science,
technical writing, information architecture, XML, and user technology.
� How we apply our knowledge to enhance the search and information experience for
Enterprise Computing customers.
© 2015 IBM Corporation4
Introduction: Who We Are
� Our presenters bring a diverse set of experiences to the ECC conference:
�One of us is a recent hire employee who has a background in information technology,
computer science, and web services.
�Two of us are experienced software engineers who practice content development and
information planning for many z/OS operating system releases.
�We vary in years in our user technology experience and collaborate from different
viewpoints, with our interdisciplinary backgrounds.
�All three of us have a commonality that we will use as an example, producing
documentation for z/OS MVS system messages.
� Barbara – Operating systems overview
� Molly – Tools and Infrastructure
� Ann – Collaborative teamwork
© 2015 IBM Corporation5
Let’s Look at the Data
� Is this content really considered “big data?” Yes, and it is structured big data.
� Thousands of system and component messages; textual information and context.
� Our z/OS library is coded in XML.
� We are tagging our XML to be compliant with computers that will use cognitive
computing/analysis to look at our documentation.
� We are set up for content classification.
� Molly plans more infrastructure tooling to use this classification.
� We want to improve search results for messages and other text.
� In the future, the tagging will help the search in the z/OS library for companies that use
XML.
© 2015 IBM Corporation7
z/OS Operating System
� We will present a chart showing the design and flow of the z/OS operating system for
Enterprise Computing mainframe software. This is a historical chart that shows the z/OS
elements, including JES2, JES3, MVS, TSO/E, z/OS UNIX, z/OSMF, and other critical
components.
� We will relate the chart to an everyday task that many system programmers perform, and
show how the information, including a large number of component messages, is used.
� We are including this z/OS chart, showing the system components, as a physical poster
graphic, at the conference.
