Large and diverse customer base
Get rid of Vendor Locks The IT moves towards Open Source Software Open API and Open Platform makes customers independent Closed silo solutions are outdated No more monopoly attitude possible Everything becomes software defined and Open Source Engineering and Integration becomes more important
The future is cloudy Are we ready?
Open Technologies The cloud is built on top of open technologies The cloud is mostly open source based There is many different solutions and implementations of APIs, Operating Systems, Programming Languages, Platforms,. But...
The cloud is mostly x86 based. One size fits all?
What is missing? In case of Architecture we have no choice Only x86 available from different vendors Doesn't matter what you buy, it's somehow all the same Why are most workloads worldwide x86-based? x86 is not the best architecture invented but the one that made it to the top. Why is there no other architecture which offers better performance for specific workloads.
But it changes IBM opened their Power Architecture to the mass market and created the OpenPOWER Foundation Different vendors produce Power CPUs Linux Vendors created a little endian distribution Prices dropped and are competitive to x86
Linux on Power Feels the same Does the same Is a valuable replacement for x86 Linux Servers Integrates natively into cloud environments More density through better architecture 15.06.15 15.06.15
How does the typical cloud look like today?

Service Catalog Application Servers Database Servers Big Data Communication Servers Business Critical Applications Cluster Services / PaaS Cluster Software defined storage Software defined networking Multi Hypervisor Support Redundacy Infrastructure as a Service Orchestration Scale out Monitoring Measurement x86 x86 x86 x86 Hypervisors x86 x86 x86 x86
Why is it like that?
How should it look like?
Cloud Service Broker Service Catalog Hybrid Cloud Provisioning SaaS Application Servers Database Servers Big Data Communication Servers Business Critical Applications Cluster Services / PaaS Cluster Software defined storage Software defined networking Multi Hypervisor Support Redundacy Infrastructure as a Service Orchestration Scale out Monitoring Measurement P8 P8 P8 other Hypervisors other x86 x86 x86
Why it differs Different workloads need different architectures for best performance Cloud abstraction makes Hardware a commodity Multi architecture support makes it possible to run mixed environments Migrate from one architecture to the other Lower TCOs Better service quality 15.06.15 15.06.15
Which Workloads can be moved? Databases like MariaDB Big Data Service like Apache Hadoop LAMP Stack Services Java Applications Web Hostings Monitoring 15.06.15 15.06.15
