What is utility computing?

Organizations pay for computing they have been used processing power network bandwidth software applications

Utility computing works in many ways Providers make money by running

outsourced technology departments more efficiently than customers could shared or virtual servers

What is utility computing?

Utility computing uses a virtualized infrastructure

With a virtualized infrastructure: people, process and technology are

focused on service levels capacity is allocated dynamically the entire infrastructure is simplified

and flexible enables a utility or pay-per-use model

for IT services

IBM grid solutions

IBM has grid solutions to many different areas: Aerospace and automotive industry Agricultural chemicals industry Electronics industry Financial services industry Life sciences Petroleum industry Government and higher education

Aerospace and automotive industry (IBM)

Grid solutions enhance data sharing People can distribute disparate workflow

time to market will be accelerated Improvements will occur because of faster

data capture data compilation data analysis

Batch jobs are routed transparently to unused cycles

Disparate systems can be virtualized as a single system central system management become easier

Agricultural chemicals industry(IBM)

Grid solutions can maximize use of existing data resources and assets by unified data access simplified integration secured access to data lead identification through innovative

information analysis improved use of computing and storage

resources By grid solutions

it is possible to execute sequence comparison algorithms

it is easier to manage different databases

Electronics industry (IBM)

Grid solutions can improve electronics design processes and reduce products time to market by many ways enabling seamless data sharing across systems optimizing computing capacity and existing

infrastructure investments running compute-intensive processes on open

standards platforms Creating unified product development is

much easier

Financial services industry (IBM)

Grid technologies can significantly enhance different banks competitiveness reduce time in diverse jobs banks get more sophisticated and accurate

analyses In risk management area grid’s

distributed environment can run several risk scenarios in parallel

Organizations get faster financial analysis and more effective risk management

Life Sciences (IBM)

IBM grid solutions can enhance productivity a lot aggregating and sharing of recourses is

easier execution of sequence comparison

algorithms is faster People get innovative information

analysis and ability to respond faster to opportunities presented by data

Petroleum industry (IBM)

Grid solutions give more accurate results and less time is spent on value-adding decisions how to optimally extract oil and gas

from producing fields faster processing of ever-expanding

quantities of data

Government and higher education (IBM)

Grid solutions of IBM allow agencies to make database and file-based data available across a department or organization with securing data access and optimizing storage

Help in creating and managing virtual organizations by helping procure compute and data resources on demand adding and removing virtual organisations participants

dynamically providing on demand storage capacity for data collected

from sensor nets facilitating fusion engines that assimilate, aggregate and

correlate raw information providing resilient secure systems data and assisting in

weather-system modelling and prediction Organisations get faster and more seamless predictive

governmental collaboration and organization

HP grid solutions

Hewlett-Packard Utility Data Center solutions let corporations virtualize data center environment to adapt to fast-changing business needs, while sharply reducing operational costs

On Demand solutions from HP offer a practical, cost-effective approach to utility computing that delivers IT resources whenever corporations need them

HP offers solutions with three On Demand Solution programs: Instant capacity Metered capacity Managed capacity

HP grid solutions

Instant capacity corporations get immediate access to

additional server and storage capacity payment is based on planned usage,

which reduces upfront investment while delivering increased flexibility in asset ownership

HP grid solutions

Metered capacity HP metering technology monitors your

systems, allowing corporations to pay for IT assets as people dial up and dial down actual usage

payment is based on this usage, thus reducing the need for capacity planning and the risks associated with changes in business volume

HP offers these pay-per-use solutions for servers, storage, imaging and printing

HP grid solutions

Managed capacity proven end-to-end IT solution

management maximizes the value of organizations enterprise assets by allowing they to manage their IT infrastructure with fewer resources or redirect your resources to core competencies

managed capacity solutions support access, managed storage, and messaging

HP grid solutions

On Demand solutions have been divided to four sections Access on Demand Imaging & Printing on Demand Messaging on Demand Storage on Demand

Access on Demand (HP)

Access on Demand solutions deliver complete client-computing solutions geared to different business needs

Access on Demand include high-performance computing platforms software associated services

Monthly price

Imaging & Printing on Demand (HP)

Pay-per-Use Imaging and Printing Program allows organizations to streamline their printing

environment by reducing time, cost, complexity, and risk

allows to manage organizations print environment with the latest HP printer technology

HP Services provides: physical installation network installation technical support, including hardware and software

assistance maintenance

Messaging on Demand

HP offers solution for messaging needs ideal for organizations with 5000 or more

mailboxes tailored to meet the exact needs of

corporations user community for office workers HP offers Microsoft Exchange

2000 on Demand for environments with a mix of user types HP

offers Tiered Messaging on Demand

Storage on Demand

HP Pay per Use for StorageWorks XP is a solution if company is trying to avoid locking

into an expensive storage infrastructure companies can make sure that they have sufficient

reserve storage capacity on hand to meet fluctuating service needs

companies pay a fixed monthly fee plus a variable fee that is based on the actual usage of storage

HP Managed Storage Solution helps companies manage their storage

infrastructure efficiently and productively pay-per-use basis combination of capacity-based storage services and

remote management that delivers the storage capacity and technical expertise companies need
