Executive summary

− Cloud computing has matured to become a platform for business

transformation.

− Enterprises need a hybrid cloud model, based on open standards,

to facilitate portability and consistency.

− IBM is committed to open software and offers a portfolio of OpenStack-

based cloud offerings that cover the spectrum of cloud deployments.

− Our private cloud-as-a-service offerings are designed to offer the

security and predictability of a private cloud with the ease of public

cloud deployment.

− IBM Blue Box Dedicated offers a dedicated, scalable cloud infrastructure:

• Hosted on SoftLayer® infrastructure in IBM Cloud data centers around

the world

• Managed by a team of specialists

• So your organization can focus on applications, while we fully manage

the infrastructure

To win in the new digital economy, organizations must choose the right cloud computing model.

You need a set of consistent, open and powerful choices to satisfy the varied

needs of your apps and data.

A hybrid cloud model can deliver the freedom to choose and

change your environments, data and services as required.

5Page© 2016 IBM Corporation

Hybrid cloud must be open by design.

Open standards:

− Are used by an active community that facilitates faster

innovations

− Provide a common foundation and compatible

interfaces that enable portability across cloud models

and prevent vendor lock-in

− Limit the need for specialists to build custom interfaces

− Meet user needs because they are the result

of collaboration across clients, providers, vendors

and developers

Open

standards

IBM is committed to OpenStack―from local to dedicated to public―so that you

have consistency among all three environments.
