What is driving Cloud Computing • Technology advances that support massive scalability & accessibility • Emergence of data intensive applications & new types of workloads • Large scale information processing, i.e. parallel computing using Hadoop • Web 2.0 rich media interactions • Light weight run anywhere web apps Skyrocketing costsof power, space,maintenance, etc. Explosion of data intensive applications on the Internet Advances in multi-core computer architecture Fast growth of connected mobile devices Growth of Web 2.0-enabled PCs, TVs, etc.
Industry Trends Leading to Cloud Computing • A “cloud” is an IT service delivered to users that has: • A user interface that makes the infrastructure underlying the service transparent to the user • Near-zero incremental management costs when additional IT resources are added • A service management platform 2008 2000 Cloud Computing • Next-Generation Internet computing • Next-Generation Data Centers 1998 Software as a Service • Network-based subscriptions to applications • Gained momentum in 2001 1990 Utility Computing • Offering computing resources as a metered service • Introduced in late 1990s Grid Computing • Solving large problems with parallel computing • Made mainstream by Globus Alliance
Some Characteristics of Cloud Computing • Virtual – Physical location and underlying infrastructure details are transparent to users • Scalable – Able to break complex workloads into pieces to be served across an incrementally expandable infrastructure • Efficient – Services Oriented Architecture for dynamic provisioning of shared compute resources • Flexible – Can serve a variety of workload types – both consumer and commercial
IBM Cloud Computing Gaining Momentum May 2008 April 2008 March 2008 • PACES on cloud announced at IMPACT • Sogeti Online Idea Brainstorm a “terrific success” out of Dublin Cloud • Cloud for iDataPlex announced at Web 2.0 expo February 2008 • VIP/SSME in production on Cloud • Wuxi in production 2007 Wuxi China Cloud Computing Center First Cloud Computing Center in Europe Academic Initiative Blue Cloud Joint research initiative with 13 European partners Partner to enhance academic research opportunities Vietnam Innovation Portal

Dynamic Enterprise Data Center – Enabling Virtual Classrooms Dynamic Scheduling Monitoring Cloud Services • Google/IBM Academic Initiative • Promote open standards & Hadoop parallel computing model • Jointly provide compute platform of the future • Benefits • Trains students with next generation computing skills • Optimizes emerging Internet scale workloads such as search, video, audio, 3D Internet, machine learning, mobile computing Carnegie Mellon University of Washington MIT Workloads Virtual Application Server Virtual Application Server Virtual Application Server; Virtualization Physical Hardware
Academic Initiative University Participants • From Fall 2007 – 2008, over 10 classes taught between 6 universities • Over 500 students trained on next generation parallel computing techniques Projects • Inverted Index • PageRank on Wikipedia • Clustering NetFlix Movie Data • Language Modeling in the Clouds • Large-data Statistical Machine Translation • Collective Resolution of Identity in Email Archives • Parallel Automatic Text-Background Separation in Picture Books • Large-Scale Network Analysis to Improve Retrieval in the Biomedical Domain Students and professors are saying: • “Very cool” • “Job that takes a week now only takes hours” • “Closes the gap between how industry and academia think about computing”
Wuxi China Cloud Computing Center IBM establishes the first Cloud Computing Center for software companies in China at the new Wuxi Tai Hu New Town Science and Education Industrial Park in Wuxi, China • Offers emerging Chinese software companies the ability to tap into a virtual computing environment to support their development activities. • A shared facility, providing each company in the Wuxi Software Park with its own virtual data center • Enabled by IBM technology and service • Managed with IBM Tivoli systems management products • Hardware – IBM System x, System p and BladeCenter • Benefits • Fast deployment of Rational software development environments • Up to 200K software developers, 100 companies • Cost efficient shared infrastructure "The China Cloud Computing Center represents a milestone in service-oriented computing," said T. W. Liu, the chairman and CEO of iSoftStone. "It will allow companies in the Wuxi Software Park to leapfrog to the newest computing models and will provide an efficient IT platform for software development."

Mashups FOR Cloud Management • Data Center much more than just CPUs, storage & networks • Multiple “layers” and multiple types of data/models • Classic system mgmt data doesn’t cover everything • Some models still evolving • Non-standard, client-specific models • Multiple sources: client, vendor, internet, … • Different users have different needs • Needs: user ≠ operator ≠ manager ≠ CIO • Classic system mgmt tools address only a fraction of needs • “Long tail” of needs • Day or less development time. Else too costly
Mashups FOR Cloud Management • Integrate multiple data sources • Traditional data center information • Other kinds of information • Social/organizational • Spatial • Thermal/Energy • Vendor product data, documentation/training/background info, … • Internet
Enterprise Environment • Draw data from • Intranet • Internet • Keep results inside firewall • Security concerns • Will be difficult to use externally hosted services • Governance • Can enforce compliance with enterprise standards • Minimize risk • Incrementally include more kinds of data • No completely new paradigms
Example: Who needs to be notified about server maintenance? Social CI App Components MR Virtual Servers Physical Servers Spatial
Layout of Servers in Data Center • Annotated with • Server name • Other attributes
Technologies • Mashup Infrastructure • Lotus Mashup Center • InfoSphere Mashup Hub • Lotus Widget Factory • Other technologies • Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG, Firefox, Batik) • Semantic Web (RDF, RDFS, SPARQL, OWL) • Integration of “ragged” data • Taxonomies/folksonomies
iDataPlex • New Technologies:Blade inspired innovation • New Economics:Easy to buy, easy to own • Adaptive Business Model:Aligned End-to-End IBM approach • Business Goal Aligned:Laser vision on achieving our clients’ success
