Progression toward transformation starts with optimizing existing assets/processes and leverages best in class technology at transitions Each step balances improvements in efficiency and effectiveness and can be measured by business returns. However, an organization can move to cloud systematically taking one step at a time, or they can move right to a cloud deployment if it aligns best with their strategic vision for the business. As your clients’ IT partner, you are in a unique position to help them understand their options and lay out a roadmap to cloud. Readying the infrastructure requires the implementation of a Dynamic Infrastructure: consolidate your servers and storage, implement virtualization technologies to increase utilization, standardizing your processes for operational efficiency, automating procedures for a more flexible delivery and enabling clients for self-service. Then you identify common workloads and set up shared resources, and finally, to achieve a true cloud-enabled environment, clients must be able to provision the workloads in a dynamic fashion.

This slide always gets the attention of the Business Partners since it describes some common use cases and customer deal types for various IBM Cloud Solutions. The table is really split into two major sections the top set of rows apply to typical Private Cloud opportunities while the bottom rows refer to IBM Cloud Services deals of various types. For maximum effect with this slide, you should emphasize the range of deal sizes, contract duration and average margins that the Partner can expect by selling and delivering the solution to their clients. Another major point of emphasis is that it is very common for IBM Business Partners to generate a number of follow-on or ‘starburst’ opportunities that are driven by the initial cloud deal with customers. In this respect, Cloud has become a very popular “reason for call” with customers and can generate significant revenue and profit growth for IBM Business Partners.
The purpose of this slide is to introduce the Partner to the three most common Cloud Computing business models that IBM’s traditional Business Partners have selected: Cloud Builder, Cloud Services Solution Provider and Cloud Infrastructure Provider. Cloud Application Provider is also another common model that is most relevant for ISV Business Partners – but is not described in the table. Depending on which model(s) were selected as top priorities by the Partner earlier in the workshop, you can read the appropriate columns to stimulate a conversation on ways the Partner can get started in developing their Cloud Business. Citing the Revenue Sources, Solution Examples, Deal Sizes, Profit Margins, Buyers and Skills Requirements has proven to be an effective “lead in” to the development of the joint IBM and Partner Cloud Strategic Plan which follows.
Based on the Cloud Income models that we have described previously, IBM has developed this Channel Capabilities Model for Cloud Computing. The purpose of this framework is to help IBM Business Partners understand the basic foundation capabilities that are required to successfully establish Cloud businesses across each of these five LEVELS. A suggested approach for using this slide during the workshop is to focus on the columns (LEVELS) that are most closely aligned to the Business Partners preferences and read the contents of the various rows so that all in attendance gain a greater understanding of the requirements described by the model.

New in Workload Deployer V3: Ability to construct integrated workload patterns based on IBM middleware Time-saving IBM Workload Deployer Pattern for Web Applications enables end-to-end management of web applications Added support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux in z/VM environments Main Point: Built upon proven WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance technology to further enhance the deployment and management of on-premise cloud environments with new Hypervisors, and best practice workload patterns, and more. Overview IBM Workload Deployer V3.0 dispenses and manages WebSphere Application Server to virtualized servers and private cloud computing environments. Workload Deployer dispenses patterns of virtual images into a pool of virtualized resources running on a supported hypervisor. For your convenience, a set of virtual images including WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition and DB2 is preloaded on Workload Deployer. Licenses to use these virtual images must be purchased separately. In addition to existing support for IBM AIX in PowerVM environments, Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server in z/VM environments, and Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux in VMware ESX environments, Workload Deployer now supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux in z/VM environments. For additional information, refer to Software Announcement ABC-123, (RFA-XXXX) dated April 30, 2010. Workload Deployer V3.0 offers exciting new capability: Support for automated elasticity of environments which make use of the WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition Intelligent Management Pack More robust hardware platform, with more compute power and storage capacity Support for a new IBM Workload Deployer Pattern for Web Applications which provides end-to-end management of web applications Ability to initiate virtual machine mobility to more efficiently place workloads Support for Computer Associates ’ VM Secure product in z/VM environments Microsoft Excel readable usage reports Finer grained control of IP address assignment and node naming in pattern deployments A new type of pattern is available in Workload Deployer V3.0. These patterns are referred to as “workload patterns.” Workload patterns are tailored for a specific use case, and contain all the capability required to serve that use case. The more familiar “topology patterns” (which are composed of Hypervisor Edition images and have been available since WebSphere CloudBurst v1.0) have become more dynamic in Workload Deployer V3.0. When the Intelligent Management Pack is enabled in a deployed environment, users may enable automated elasticity to allow patterns to grow and shrink without manual input. Workload Deployer also adds support for the new WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition for Red Hat Enterprise Linux for System z virtual image to support Red Hat Enterprise Linux for z/VM. The ability to initiate virtual machine mobility, coupled with finer grained control of IP address assignment and node naming makes it easier to use Workload Deployer in association with production environments. Workload Deployer delivers value in several ways: Helps lower costs, as higher hardware utilization rates are reached in virtualized environments, reducing power consumption. Increases agility and reduces time to value. It empowers individual application managers, developers, and testers to manage IT infrastructure in a more autonomous and agile fashion by leveraging a shared self-service, multi-tenant environment. As a result, your company can quickly adapt to changing business needs. Workload Deployer delivers value by factoring out repetitive, time-consuming manual tasks, such as hardware approvals, operating system installation and configuration, middleware installation and configuration, application installation and configuration, and maintenance applications, and replaces them with a single interaction on the administrative console. Increases repeatability and helps reduce costly errors by allowing you to customize environments once (in the way familiar to WebSphere Application Server users), capture them, and redeploy them at the click of a button. This gives application managers, developers, and testers a standard, known starting point from which to make exploratory changes, evaluate development fixes, apply maintenance, and install applications. Provides a physically secure hardware appliance. It manages a shared, multi-tenant environment, where isolation and security are of utmost importance. The secure nature of the appliance is rooted in a self-disabling switch, triggered if the appliance cover is removed. This physical security allows Workload Deployer to serve as a secure vault for credentials, which can be tied to virtual images throughout their entire lifecycle (in storage, being dispensed, running in the cloud, or being removed from the cloud). Manages users and groups and their access. It tracks and reports usage statistics based on user and group information. These reports can be used for internal chargeback purposes. Workload Deployer is targeted for on-premise production, staging, development, and test environments, and can also serve as the foundation for hosted software-as-a-service environments.

As infrastructures a service, you can imagine that there’s quite a bit of services and or additional things that can be tacked on top of this offering. If you think about it in laymen's terms, think about your laptop. If you simply had the hardware and didn’t have anything else on top of it, what opportunities could you do with that particular infrastructure? You could install Microsoft office on it and create your Power Point slides, you could put Lotus Notes on it and collaborate with your team mates. There’s also all sorts of services that you could execute with that infrastructure. We talked about some of the use cases and things like that. But from a business partners perspective, let’s look at the types of services that they could offer to their customers who are interested in using this service. So we’ve got the straight up resale offering that we like to position as a great competitive advantage over some of our competition but we’ve also got additional services that we can resell on top of it. In the left hand side of the slide we’ve got some stars next to business continuity, while we’re talking about backup and resiliency. We’ve got security services that we can tack on top of and encourage those services to be resold at the partner level. But we also like to really encourage the business partners to really start building their own services offerings around this platform. So strategy services, migration, whether or not they are ready, their application is ready for cloud environment, assessments, implementation of actual migration networking, software licensing, management and instant image management. Those are some of those things that in addition to having residual income at the resell level we like to encourage these customers and business partners to look at this as building their own recurring and/or one time services built on top of the infrastructure.

This slide describes the IBM Cloud Certification that was introduced in the Spring of 2010.

IBM is the first to announce and make available cloud computing architecture certification. A pre-test assessment is available now at the Prometric IBM website. Taking the pre-exam assessment is a great way to know you’re ready to take the proctored exam, as the assessment uses the same bank of questions as the actual exam.
