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

Insurance Company Improves fix management

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
