What problems do we have?
The average lead time to get a new application environment up andrunning is 4-6 weeks
Approvals, procurement, shipment, HW installation, license procurement,
OS installation, application installation, configuration
30% of bugs are introduced by inconsistent configurations
These bugs are often of the most difficult variety to detect
They often emerge when moving between dev/test, QA, production
Because its so expensive to set up an environment, there is an incentiveto hold onto them even when no longer needed just in case.
Future environments = new hardware, instead of recycling returned
hardware, and this takes time and money

Using Smart SOA Infrastructure: WebSphere CloudBurst
Industry Pains
Deployment of maintenance takesapprox. 30 minutes
Deployment of maintenance is a manualprocess, often executed in the middle ofthe night
Smarter Business Outcomes
Deployment took 4 minutes!
Deployment was automated
Deployment was able to be scheduled, so no one had towait up to kick off the process

IBM Lab Increases Productivity and AgilityUsing Smart SOA Infrastructure: WebSphere CloudBurst
Why Smart SOA Infrastructure?
The ability to provide compliant patterns and images in our public lab while leveraging the speed and rapid deployment of virtualization is significant for ourefforts to consolidate hardware, and reduce costs while at the same time providing onDemand access to development and test environments necessary forAgile development. Frank Varone, Test and Quality Manager for WebSphere Application Server
Industry Pains
OS security compliance issues due tovirtualization
Low rates of hardware utilization
Agile development requires high quality andbroader testing
Smarter Business Outcomes
No OS security compliance violations in 4 months
Increased server utilization up to 90%
Reduced standardized topology deployment from over 2 hoursdown to 18 minutes
Leveraged existing hardware and software assets

Summary
Why WebSphere Cloudburst?
Consistency
Your IT architect is a smart, likely well-paid person. Itd be great to be able to bottle his/herknowledge and share it throughout the organization. Now you can, w/ WebSphereCloudBurst Appliances pattern facility
With new PowerVM support, this point is even stronger! Now, you
can use the same
patterns on X86 for dev/test as you use on PowerVM for production!
Cost
Because of siloes and isolation in organizations, there is difficulty in making use of idlecompute capacity. By creating a managed shared resource pool, idle compute capacity ismore readily available to a broader set of users. This increases utilization, which reducescosts.
Auditability
When moving to a shared resource model, a question arises as to who pays for what.WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance can tell you who used what, and when, and you can usethis information for chargeback purposes.
Speed / Lead time
Instead of waiting days, weeks, or even months for a new environment to be made availablefor a new project runtime environment or a dev/test environment,
you could have it in < 10
minutes w/ WebSphere CloudBurst
Patterns make provisioning disaster recovery environments simple
and fast while ensuring
consistency with their production counterparts.
Skills
WebSphere CloudBurst offers an incremental approach to learning WAS and building theskills to adopt it, as it handles the heavy lifting for you. As
such, WebSphere CloudBurst is
an enabler for folks who are still building their WebSphere Application Server skills
