Explosion of data intensive applications on the Internet
Skyrocketing costs of power, space, maintenance, etc.
Advances in multi-core computer architecture Fast growth of connected mobile devices Growth of Web 2.0enabled PCs, TVs, etc. 4
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 1990
Grid Computing
1998
Utility Computing
Cloud Computing
Software as a Service
• Solving large problems with parallel computing
• Offering computing resources as a metered service
• Network-based subscriptions to applications
• Gained momentum in 2001
• Next-Generation Internet computing
• Next-Generation Data Centers
• Introduced in late • Made mainstream by 1990s Globus Alliance
5
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

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." 11

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
13
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
14
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
