Transform your server environment with Data#3 and IBM

Traditional server environments pose several challenges: high labour and capital costs, long development and deployment cycles, and quality risks associated with largely manual processes. There are now new ways to meet these challenges using cloud computing from Data#3 and IBM®.

IBM Power Systems Cloud Solutions

Improve performance and scalability by optimising IT assets based on workload, to ensure the ideal elasticity of your cloud.
Enterprise QoS virtualisation capability with higher performance, more scalability and enterprise security provides the best foundation for your cloud.
High availability solutions for ensuring your mission critical applications running in the cloud are always available.
Automated management, provisioning and optimisation of physical/virtual servers and system pools ensure that your cloud resources are automatically provisioned for optimal utilisation.
Self-service portal and standardised service catalog leverage all the features of your Power Cloud infrastructure to enable automated delivery of requested services without IT intervention.

IBM Storage Cloud Solutions

Improve utilisation of storage resources: Leverage your underlying storage to its fullest—from 50% utilisation rates to up to 90%.
Lower cost of capital expenditures, operational expenses and attain higher ROI: consolidating & virtualising storage resources, and automating provisioning tasks allows for lower opex and capex.
Reduce TCO via a shared, virtualised, highly scalable storage service, easy to provision, manage, and grow.
Share resources and recovery of expenses by leveraging usage reporting and charge-back (pay per use).
Improve quality of service expectations: Standardising most commonly repeated operating procedures (such as capacity management, backup management, lifecycle management) operators can provide consistent and predictable quality of service
Improve agility, speed to market: Sharing of storage resources across different tenants / departments allow for better return of investment.
Faster provisioning, elastic scaling of capacity or performance allows for faster access to resources and thereby quicker deployment, as well as, development of new business applications.

Leverage IBM technologies and Data#3 expertise to realise the true potential of cloud computing.

Reducing IT Operational Costs with IBM Power Systems Cloud Solutions

An extremely helpful and detailed guide to assessing potential resources savings from migrating to a private cloud, implementing such technologies as virtualisation and consolidation, standardised workloads, and automation by way of self-service provisioning. Essential reading for anyone developing a business case for cloud computing.
 
THOUGHT LEADERSHIP PAPER


Getting Cloud Computing Right


This paper argues that the key to business success in cloud adoption is a robust, proven architecture. It discusses requirements for industrial-strength cloud service delivery and the importance of an open, vendor-neutral approach by simplifying service development and adoption with standards-based tools – offering real-world examples of cloud services built on the IBM reference architecture.
