Session Title:

IBM's Cloud Computing Solutions

Session Abstract:

IBM supports cloud computing as both an enabler and provider of cloud services. This session will cover, at a high level, the IBM cloud computing strategy and two recent additions to the IBM cloud family that help customers leverage cloud computing.
IBM Desktop Cloud helps you transform the end user environment. Virtualizing the desktop is an emerging trend that offers many benefits for clients. Getting properly started is the crucial first step. Learn about some important options for assessment and planning that will get you started with the right design towards a successful implementation. Also, learn more about IBM's highly successful Desktop Cloud portfolio and direction and how it can be leveraged to help you transform the end user environment.
IBM CloudBurst is a family of pre-packaged cloud offerings that bring together the hardware, software and services to quickly and efficiently establish a cloud. IBM CloudBurst takes the guess work out of establishing a cloud by pre-installing and configuring the necessary software on the hardware and leveraging services for customization to your environment. IBM CloudBurst leverages factory level integration and configuration of VMware and IBM components, allowing for rapid customer deployment. IBM CloudBurst leverages the industry leading features of the VMware platform, including VMware VMotion™ . Fit-for-purpose and self-contained, IBM CloudBurst dramatically reduces capital and operational costs, and delivers an accelerated investment payback.
