Code available under Apache 2.0 license. Design tenets – scale
& elasticity, share nothing & distribute everything
Technology Capabilities
Compute Provision and manage large pools of on-demand computing resources
Block Storage Volumes on commodity storage gear, and drivers for more advanced systems like NetApp,
Solidfire, and Nexenta
Object Storage Petabytes of reliable storage on standard gear
Networks VLAN or Flat Network, automation coming with Quantum project Folsom release Fall 2012
Web Dashboard Self-service, role-based web interface for users and administrators
Shared Services Multi-tenant authentication system that ties to existing stores (e.g. LDAP) and Image Service

6. We’ve seen this before: open source fosters markets & innovation
In the era of a Smarter
Planet, IBM will continue to
leverage open source
ecosystems ….
In the era of e-business…
IBM leverages the nascent open
source software movement…
…and becomes the market leader in SOA
implementations and the world’s largest
software company
November 2001 – IBM rallies 150 influential vendors and the development
community around a new tools environment with a $40 Million software
donation disrupting the leadership of the software development ecosystem
September 1999: IBM capitalizes on an untapped market trend and begins
participating in the community development of Linux with a $60M annual investment
June 1998 – IBM enters into an engineering agreement with The Apache Group for
development of the open-source Apache HTTP server software eventually becoming the
leader of the new Application Server market

7. Capabilities of IBM’s common cloud management services
Orchestration Services:
Eases coordination of complex tasks and Orchestration Services
worklflows, leveraging existing skills, processes and
technology artifacts
Supports OSLC from OASIS
Platform Services:
Simplifies deployment and lifecycle management of
Platform Level Services
middleware and application patterns (Image Lifecycle Mgmt) (Pattern Services)
Supports TOSCA from OASIS
Infrastructure Services:
