Information regarding potential future products is intended to outline our general product direction and it should not be relied on in making a purchasing decision. The information mentioned regarding potential future products is not a commitment, promise, or legal obligation to deliver any material, code or functionality. Information about potential future products may not be incorporated into any contract. The development, release, and timing of any future features or functionality described for our products remains at our sole discretion. Performance is based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput or performance that any user will experience will vary depending upon many factors, including considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user s job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve results similar to those stated here. 1

3 Abstract How Cloud Performance and Capability is driven by IBM FlashSystem Don t miss this opportunity to learn how IBM s market-leading FlashSystem can enhance and optimize your cloud solution. This session will discuss how Flash technology provides the performance capabilities to take your cloud business to the next level. Through various cloud client examples, we will discuss how both of our newest products, the next generation FlashSystem 900 and V9000, can be easily implemented into your cloud storage infrastructure to provide the performance and scalability that your business needs to outpace your competition.

4 Agenda Cloud service models and how they can benefit from flash IaaS PaaS SaaS Introducing the FlashSystem Family Why Flash FlashSystem 900 FlashSystem V9000

5 Premise: Every Cloud Needs Storage SERVICE MODELS BPaaS SaaS PaaS DEPLOYMENT MODELS IaaS MBaaS Private Hybrid Community Public

6 But not all clouds are the same IaaS PaaS SaaS Mixed Workload Mixed Workload Single Workload Utility Pricing Mixed Pricing Licensing Offer Infrastructure resource Host client s custom/acquired application Vendor s application Public Cloud Public Cloud Community Cloud

7 IaaS Why speed and efficiency matter Performance SLAs Unpredictable array of client use cases & workloads Noisy neighbors impact performance Customer retention Switching costs are low Deliver a great experience or lose customers High capital and operating costs High cost to deliver high performance Managing complex infrastructure is costly Data center space, power & cooling are costly

8 Why IaaS providers use flash Reduce Costs Meet performance SLAs Decrease software licensing costs Lower cost for performance Gain & Retain Customers Improve customer satisfaction Easily handle mixed workloads Scale performance and capacity Eliminate noisy neighbor problems Create new revenue sources Drive revenue expansion/upsell opportunities with performance offerings for critical applications

The solution: Dual IBM FlashSystem 840 arrays virtualized by Storwize V5000 at two data center sites configured to Intel and VMware platforms. Business impact: Substantial increase in performance and VMware density provided excellent ROI and better cost structure which protected market position.

10 PaaS Why speed matters Performance SLAs Unpredictable client workloads Noisy neighbors impact performance Customer retention Switching costs are low Deliver a great experience or lose customers Cost management Often highly complex applications Diagnosing performance issues is hard Data center space, power & cooling are costly

11 Why PaaS providers use flash: accelerate big clients Gain and retain clients Scale as clients grow (count & size) Improve customer satisfaction Eliminate noisy neighbor problem Support massive concurrency Reduce costs Meet performance SLA s Decrease infrastructure costs Easy to install and manage Create new revenue sources

12 CloudAccess.net unthrottles performance for cloud platforms Over 17,000 active Joomla sites hosted Tens of 1000s of users supported 2 hours to configure and implement quick time to value Solution Components IBM FlashSystem Fibre Channel SAN Citrix XenServer Joomla! VPMC Business challenge: Overwhelming demand as exclusive Joomla! demo site, pressure to keep costs low, original infrastructure not up to the task. The solution: The IBM FlashSystem was implemented quickly and easily and provides a bottleneck-free storage environment. It has exceeded the requirements CloudAccess.net had as the world s premier hosting site for Joomla!... performance and ease-of-use has gone way beyond our expectations When it comes down to flash technology, they really can t be beaten. - Gary Brooks, CEO, CloudAccess.net

13 Business Center IBM FlashSystem V9000 infuses new life into cloud provider in Japan 110U in rack space reduction 18.6kW in power reduction Flash CoC Flash Center of Competency skills were key factor for win Solution Components IBM FlashSystem V9000 IBM Flash Centers of Competency Business challenge: Successful programming and cloud provider in Japan needed to optimize storage cost and performance in the face of increasing competition and growing client requirements. The solution: IBM FlashSystem V9000 systems were deployed at two sites as replacements for older spinning disk VDisk mirror used for easy data migration. Business impact: Substantial results were seen in performance, maintenance reduction, power and space reduction, and capacity optimization with compression, all of which provided a solid basis for competitive posture and growth.

14 SaaS why performance matters Constant use Highlights flaws Exacerbates perception of slowness Customer retention Switching costs are low Deliver a great experience or lose customers Hard to ensure performance Large user base More complex application stack Heavy, intricate front ends Complicated application delivery chain Source: Ari Weil

15 Why SaaS providers use flash: slow customer churn Gain and retain customers Improve customer satisfaction Increase application stability Handle more concurrent users Create new revenue sources Drive revenue expansion/upsell opportunities with performance offerings for critical applications Add data rich features without sacrificing performance Reduce costs Lower cost for performance Decrease infrastructure costs
