Cloud Computing – Primary Characteristics

�On-demand self-service

�Ubiquitous network access

� Location independent resource pooling

�Request driven provisioning and scheduling

�Measured service / Pay-per-use


Cloud computing - Definitions

Technology description:• Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient,on-

demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g. networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. – NIST

Business value proposition:

• Cloud computing is a model for enabling cost effective business outcomes through the use of shared application and computing services…..resulting in better economics in the execution of business processes.

– Steve Mills, IBM


Cloud Computing – Service Models

Services

Software

Hardware

Platform

as a Service(PaaS)

Software

as a Service

(SaaS) incl BPaaS

Infrastructure

as a Service(IaaS)

Cloud Services

Customers use applications (e.g. CRM, ERP, e-mail) or business services from multiple client devices through a Web browser on multi-tenant and shared infrastructures without the need to manage or control the underlying resources

Customers use programming languages, tools and platforms to develop and deploy applications on multi-tenant and shared infrastructures with ability to control deployed applications and environments without the need to manage or control the underlying resources

Customers use processing, storage, networks, other computing resources with ability to rapidly and elastically provision and control resources to deploy and run software and services without the need to manage or control the underlying resources


Cloud Delivery Models

A private cloud is one in which both the consumer of cloud services and the provider of those services exist within the same enterprise. The ownership of the cloud assets resides within the same enterprise providing and consuming cloud services.

A public cloud is one in which the consumer of cloud services and the provider of cloud services exist in separate enterprises. The ownership of the assets used to deliver cloud services remains with the provider.

A hybrid cloud combines multiple elements of public and private cloud, including any combination of providers and consumers, and may also contain multiple service layers.

PRIVATE CLOUD PUBLIC CLOUD

CLOUD DELIVERY MODELS

Isolates workload; initial foray into cloud computing

IT organization and cloud users exist across internal

boundaries

One-to-one relationship between service

provider and the consumer organization

IT organization and cloud users exist within one management domain

One-to-many relationship between service

provider and consumers

Consumer and provider of cloud services exist within

the same enterprise

DepartmentCloud

Consumer and provider of cloud services exist in separate enterprises

Principle areas of interest

• In a recent IBM Cloud Computing survey, respondents were asked whether each of the delivery models is “appealing”:

– Private 64%

– Hybrid 38%

– Public 30%

• Our recent focus has therefore currently been on:

– provision of images (HVE or Custom) for virtualised environments

– integrated deployment and management for on-premise clouds


Cloud Messaging


IBM Workload Deployer (3.0)

• Patterns-based middleware platform that provides easy and repeatable creation of application environments in a private cloud.

– IWD will deliver capabilities across cloud delivery models (private, public, hybrid)

• Enhanced hardware appliance for access to IBM middleware images and patterns

– IWD is the next generation of WCA (WCA 2.0.0.2 -> IWD 3.0)

– Built on WebSphere CloudBurst firmware on updated DataPower form factor

• Topology patterns, including multi-image patterns:

– Using pre-defined HVE images for IBM products, certified by IBM– Customisation by user-scripts

– Realised by a pattern deployment engine at the IaaS interface

• Workload patterns, for Java EE Web Applications

– Including dependencies on JDBC and JMS– Realised by PaaS, which drives a pattern deployment engine, which in

turn delegates to IaaS

• Supports locking of images and patterns for guaranted consistency• Supports usage montoring, license tracking and charge back

• Supports VMware ESX, IBM PowerVM™ and IBM z/VM® environments


IBM Workload Deployer and Messaging

• IWD 3.0 MQ External Connector

• Current function:

– Simplify the deployment of a Java EE messaging application usingWMQ JMS resources

– IWD 3.0 does not automatically provision a messaging server

– MQ Queues/Topics are hosted in a remote WMQ queue manager

• Future requirements– We may want to support applications written in other languages or

containers, so messaging artifacts use generic properties applicable to all application environments


• An enterprise application uses a ConnectionFactory and Queue in JNDI, to connect to a remote queue manager, and sends or receives messages to a Queue.

• When the application is dragged onto the canvas, the system introspects the EAR file and prompts the user to resolve the JMS references

• The user drags messaging resources onto the canvas and names the links

A link to a Messaging Service is required to resolve the reference to jmsref/CF1A link to a Queue is required to resolve the reference to jmsref/Q1

• At deploy time:

• A ConnectionFactory is created with the

name specified on the link and

properties from the Queue Manager

(see next slide).

• A Queue is created with the name

specified on the link




• Evolution of the IWD Messaging Service

• Enhancements to the MQ External Connector

• Possibly further support for on-premise cloud – Deployment of IWD topology patterns and workload patterns

• Provisioning of queue managers in the cloud

– Initially, manual explicit provisioning

• Intention to introduce a shared messaging service in the cloud

– Messaging as a Service (MaaS)– Hosts queues and topics declared by user

• Improvements to MaaS, e.g. automatically elastic scaling


Hypervisor Editions (HVEs) and Custom Images

• Hypervisor Edition – A full image (OS and middleware)

– HVEs are available for WAS, WPS, WMQ, WMB, DB2

– Available 2Q11: WMQ 7.0.1 HVE for Redhat on x86-64– Available as standalone product

– Also included in IBM Workload Deployer 3.0

– Can be deployed using patterns:

• non-clustered queue manager

• clustered queue manager

– IBM may make other HVEs available in future

• Custom Images

– Expect to see improved support for custom image creation

– e.g. possible hardening of existing offerings for custom image construction


IBM – Public Cloud support

• IBM SmartCloud Enterprise– Quick access to an enterprise-ready development and test environment

– More responsive and reduced operating costs versus on-premise

– Windows Server and Linux (RHEL/SLES)

• IBM SmartCloud Enterprise+

– Deploy production level workloads on a robust, secure, performantcloud infrastructure

– More responsive and reduced operating costs versus on-premise

– Hosted in an IBM Data Center or in an isolated environment for a single customer

– High SLA up to 99.9% allowing customers to shift workloads to cloud with confidence

• IBM also recognises 3rd party public clouds (e.g. Amazon EC2)


WMQ Public Cloud support

• WMQ is included in Industry Application Platform– WAS 7.0.0.7, DB2 Express-C 9.7.1 and WMQ 7.0.1

– Includes sample financial services application

– Obvious application for “development & test”– Potential application at “edge of enterprise”

• IBM SmartCloud Enterprise

– Restricted to development & test

– Keen to get a production ready WMQ image on SmartCloud

• Amazon EC2 – Also restricted to development & test

– Considering pushing out a production ready WMQ AMI


Strategic Evolution

• What we expect to see over the next few years

• Continuing (growing) widespread use of private clouds

– simplified deployment;

– better integration;

– improvements to automation and lifecycle management;

– improved elasticity

• Increasing use of public clouds

– emergence of elastic messaging service
