You want to be able to choose from capabilities you have running behind your firewall and also capabilities that you have running outside your firewall.īut with this type of SOA you have to think about governing, you have to think about security in ways that you probably weren’t before it and certainly perhaps not as stringently when everything is running in your data center. We certainly look at this as a Service Oriented Architecture, whether you are an administrator working on your infrastructure, you are interacting with your infrastructure as a set of services or if you are an application or services consumer creating composite application. It’s another form of building hybrid applications. But then outsourcing across the internet for other capabilities - shipping services, even CRM services from companies like Salesforce - and building these hybrid applications that perhaps still use your system of record on site, but then venture out to use services on the public internet. You have a lot of your services running resident in your company, perhaps your systems of record run resident. There is also Hybrid for use around building business applications. That’s an interesting use of Hybrid for testing. For example we, in IBM, do some of our scalability tests by renting machines either from other parts of the IBM using the IBM Cloud or Amazon to run scalability tests, client workload drivers. Examples that we see around infrastructure services, grow your infrastructure up to a certain point and then as you start to overflow, you overflow into the Public Cloud thinking about renting capacity on demand when you need it. Hybrid Cloud is using the best aspects of public cloud and also using capability that you have behind your data centered firewall. Can you tell us a little bit about what is Hybrid Cloud? This is something that we haven’t heard too much of. I think that makes us a bit unique in how we’re going about our Cloud taxonomy.Ģ. When we offer things across that taxonomy, we are always thinking about the variations of public, private and hybrid. Running them on-premise (a lot of customers like to start with their services running in a safe place on-premise), off-premise in a public Cloud (I mentioned before to you some of our public offerings) and then interesting combinations or hybrid. As we talked about before, the thing that makes us a bit unique in IBM is we don’t discriminate about where they run. Certainly, we are looking at the Cloud as infrastructure services, platform services and Software-as-a-Service. Again, we have a number of things going on at that level as well. Software-as-a-Service is the third area of the taxonomy. We are starting to put a lot of focus on that and hopefully we can chat a little bit about that as well.
Platform services are kind of moving up the stack. The IBM store is still resident at Amazon, so you can get a bunch of IBM middleware there. We have a number of things going on around the IBM Cloud.
#IBM WEBSPHERE HOMEPAGE BUILDER UPDATE#
Jerry, give us an update of what’s going on in the Cloud.įor the most part we are still looking at the taxonomy of the Cloud, the way we’ve been - infrastructure, services as the foundation and for the most part infrastructure services continue to move on. We’re here with Jerry Cuomo, CTO of IBM WebSphere, talking about Cloud Computing.
