Agenda

. Part #1: Cloud Computing Technical Fundamentals (today) – IT Maturity Best Practices and Cloud Computing – DB2 Availability on the Cloud

. Part #2: Best Practices for Cloud Computing (next cloud session) – Best practices for consolidation – Setting up HA and the importance of synchronous replication – Performing effective backups – Using WLM to deal with noisy environments – Cloud Computing security best practices – Software options for building your own cloud

Cloud Computing: Hottest Topic in the Industry…

A Crisis of Cost. The Need for Progress is Clear.

Global Annual Server Spending (IDC)

300 Power and cooling costs Management and admin costs 250 Increasing energy costs from New system spend increased compute capacity 200

150 Uncontrolled management and 100 operations costs

50 Steady CAPEX spend $0B (up front is no longer welcome)

To make progress, delivery organizations must address the server, storage and network operating cost problem, not just CAPEX. - Cloud Computing directly addresses all of these.
