SoftLayer can be used for many types of workloads – what do you need the cloud for?

Your workloads? New app, mobile, social, game? Big data/analytics environment to

integrate multiple data sources? Legacy app migration to cloud? Load test or QA environment? Small, medium, large workload? Apps to leverage legacy data?

Your concerns? Regulatory environment? High performance? Predictable costs? Ability to control, manage,

secure, and view resources? Tailored to specific needs, yet

automated? Ease of transition to cloud? Scalability?

Your goals? Speed to market? Lower costs, and price for

performance? CapEx to OpEx? Simplified management of

Why do clients choose SoftLayer over other providers?

Better Price for Performance

•Optimized configurations•Few surprises; many inclusions

Triple NetworkStrength

Control andAutomation

Transparency

Innovation

Flexibility/Hybrid-built

•3-Tier, high performance •Private traffic at no charge

•One pane to manage all resources•Granular APIs for automation•Control risks and exposure

•Know exact location of all resources•Essential visibility for compliance

•True differentiation in performance, ease of management, cloud bare metal and virtual

•Seamless transition between bare metal and virtual as needs evolve

…over other providers:Why clients choose SoftLayer…

Internal network transfer often a large part of monthly bill – unpredictable

True single-pane management not available

Bare metal not available from many other providers

Performance often depends on over-priced, over-provisioned VMs, resulting in higher costs

Other providers offer class-level APIs – more limited control

Few have one-pane management

Same visibility and transparency is not available; most unable to guarantee location of resources

•Tailor to fit needs – not have to live with only pre-defined instances

•Provision quickly; time-saving tools

•Chosen to run secure, regulated workloads; private network, bare metal; transparency of location

•Handles international cross-boundary regs outside US

•SoftLayer/IBM committed to open standards to protect investments

•Partners for flexibility and choice

…over other providers:Why clients choose SoftLayer…

Many charge extra for support services and rely on ticketing or emails, not phone calls

Other providers focus on proprietary lock-in and services entanglement

Inconsistent services offerings across DCs – even major geos

Bare metal cloud providers can’t offer similar ease of use or speed

Few have complete transparency, or private DC to DC networks

There is NO cloud mandate for virtualization and sharing!

I need to test an app at scale. How can SoftLayer help?

Enterprise-Grade Security No Long-Term Commitment

Reduce your risk and in the unpredictable dev/test phase

• IBM’s private network has no public interface to ensure data isolation for the most sensitive development/testing environments

• Security controls to help protect user information

• Predicting resource needs for development and testing is difficult – and up-front capital expenses will add up

• Reduce the risk of investing in unnecessary equipment or storage: SoftLayer does not require long-term contracts, even for dedicated servers

Optimized Performance

• Optimized infrastructure Configure test environment to match production exactly, to facility SLDC

• Platform-neutral imaging solution Flex Images can capture and create new images – even between physical and virtual – to facilitate rapid set up needs for testing. Quick cloning and replicating for test environments

• SoftLayer guarantees more processor clock speed – 2 GHz. Experiences fewer outages than competition

• 4x lower latency relative to market

Testing Examples: Load testing; performance; QA

testing; UA testing

App Development Examples: Web apps – social, mobile, big

data, analytics, online gaming

Other IBM Services considerations for dev/test:

IBM BlueMix PaaS IBM PureApplication Services on SoftLayer uses best practice

patterns (e.g. mobile, web, analytics, database) to rapidly deploy specific applications

The Beauty of (SoftLayer’s) Bare Metal

Custom environment without custom overhead Rapid provisioning

Bare Metal can be part of your total cloud solution – all managed from one place

• You can completely tailor your cloud environment and not over-provision with specific VM sizes

• Enjoy easy cloud management in a highly tailored environment

• Pick and choose any processor, hard drive, with any RAID level-easily

• You are not confined to preset packages

• SoftLayer can stand up a bare metal server within 4 hours of receiving a request – vs. ~10 days for others

• Flex Image software makes it easy to switch between bare metal and virtual servers, depending on changing workloads/needs

• Perfect for testing, integration and migration

Price for Performance

• Better I/O performance and network: perfect choice for heavy I/O workloads – as well as steady state and smaller workloads

• Don’t pay for what you don’t need: Reduced price for performance for workloads with high server utilization

• No hypervisor penalty: CPUs that power your workload, not your hypervisor – which can eat up to 40% of performance

• Bare metal: SoftLayer cloud can combine bare metal and private/public virtual instances, all managed through single pane.

• Price for performance: SoftLayer can beat others when comparing all costs that go into a specific solution, e.g. SoftLayer does not charge for data transport on its internal private network.

• Transparency: SoftLayer’s infrastructure whereabouts are completely transparent to the client. Clients can specify exact physical location.

Why SoftLayer is better than Other Providers

App Hosting

• SoftLayer has more “fine-tuning” capability

• Great for high-compute and IO intensive apps from mobile and gaming, to financial services and healthcare apps

• No need to overprovision VMs (as others need to)

• No hypervisor performance tax!

Mobility

• SoftLayer offers the perfect combination of bare metal and virtual instances in cloud

• This allows mobile backend developers to have better performance for their databases, for example, with the ability to mix/match resources

Dev/Test

• SoftLayer automates the provisioning of infra for all types of testing

• Flex Images automates image deployment: can exactly match test and production on client’s choice of optimized infra and software stack

• Ease of moving images from bare metal to VMs

Big Data/Analytics

• SoftLayer’s price for performance allows you to purchase what you need

• AWS’s key solution for high I/O is Provisioned IOPS –expensive when compared by workload to SoftLayer

• Pre-configured big data and file transfer solutions
