Uncontrolled management & energy costs
To make progress, delivery organizations must address the server, storage and network operating cost problem, not just CAPEX

1. Clients are adopting cloud computing delivery models today, with private cloud more likely place to start…but the public cloud model has appeal and is growing
2. IBM has identified specific workloads that are better suited to public and to private cloud delivery models
Selecting the right workloads and optimizing them for cloud delivery are criticalsuccess factors for pilot or demonstration projects
3. Although clients today are more interested in private cloud, we found significant gaps in service management and infrastructure readiness
Fewer than 25% of respondents are addressing service management issues that are essential to delivering "services" via a private cloud
4. Among many users, maturity in the adoption of virtualization technology is still relatively low. This can be a determining factor in whether a company starts with private, hybrid or public cloud projects.

The Company
The Challenge
• NC State has more than 31,000 students and nearly 8,000 faculty and staff. Growing demand for academic computing resources meant the school needed to fundamentally change the way it managed these resources to deliver the service levels required by its key user populations.
The Solution
• IBM adapted HPC high-performance computing into a virtualization modelenabling NC State to deliver more resource support across the university at lower cost. The new “cloud computing” model for provisioning technology offers the school a quantum improvement in access, efficiency and convenience over its traditional computer labs.
The Benefits• Projected software licensing cost savings up to 75 percent• 150 percent increase in students served per application license• Increased flexibility to shift computing capacity between
instructional, research and administrative needs.
North Carolina State University is a comprehensive university known for its leadership in education and research, and globally recognized for its science, technology, engineering and mathematics programs.

The ChallengeThe archive continues to grow at an exponential rate, and maintaining
access began to pose challenges to the agency.
The Solution
• Geoscience Australia chose IBM Premier Business Partner Tardis Services to provide an IBM storage solution. IBM Global Technology Services provided information optimization solutions and services to help the customer efficiently manage information and accelerate their knowledge discovery.
• IBM System Storage TS3500 Tape Library, IBM System Storage DS4200• IBM Smart Business Storage Cloud
The Benefits
• Increases capacity to meet the customer’s growing storage needs• Enables faster access to over 1.2 petabytes of research data,
providing exploration companies with a valuable resource in the search for new energy sources well into the future
• Helps the customer eliminate manual processes for improved operational efficiency
Geoscience Australia provides an archive of offshore seismic data and satellite remote sensing data that has been collected in Australia over the course of many decades. This critical archive is used by the Australian Government to attract international exploration investment to search for petroleum and gas.

The Challenge
With 27 educational facilities, Pike County Schools struggled to keep modern computing systems available to all students across the district. And this struggle only grew more difficult when recent budget cuts reduced the school district’s funds by 80 percent. Committed to delivering a quality education to all of its students, Pike County Schools needed a new computing system that could bypass the limitations of its hardware.
The Solution
IBM Global Technology Services, after a number of meetings with the client, designed a virtual workstation environment. The new solution moves the client’s application infrastructure from the local systems to a remote operating environment. Users can then access these schoolapplications either via a Web browser or using a special CD that bypasses the typical boot processes of the workstation to access the remote systems.
The Benefits
• Improved the functionality of computer systems for ~ 64 percent of the cost of replacing the outdated hardware
• Enabled district to use workstations longer and bring outdated equipment back online while supporting newer software & systems
• Helped the district deliver the same quality of education to students across the county, regardless of the availability of hardware
Pike County Schools IBM Smart Business Desktop Cloud
Pike County Schools System is a school in eastern Kentucky, here in the US. They have 10,000 students, 27 schools, and 3,000 employees.
