Cloud Delivery Models
A private cloud is one in which the cloud infrastructure is provisioned for exclusive use by a single organization, comprising multiple consumers. It may be owned, managed and operated by the organization itself or a third party, and may exist on or off premises.
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.
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.
The IT department is in direct competition with
Public Cloud alternatives for Lines of Business

Enable and Build Better Clouds: RESTful API
What the XIV RESTful API offers: Agnostic/Common to OS and cloud
platform programming language Uses http in browser
– Doesn't need a client (like other APIs)
– Every object has a unique identifier (URL)
Uses the following http actions:– Get (Read)
– Put (Create)
– Delete (Delete)
– Post (Update)
– SnapShot and Copy Services support plus more
EX : GET XIV/ (lists XIVs)
PUT XIV/:xiv1/volumes/:vol1 size:,pool
Maximum flexibility in automating your custom cloud
Benefits:• Management API for automating your cloud• Integrates XIV natively with your cloud
management software• Delivered through IBM Hyper-Scale
Manager (this is your web server)• Offers flexibility to meet needs beyond
standard cloud tools
XIV RESTful API is one of the first on the market!

Software Defined Storage (SDS) as a component of SDE
SDE uses a Resource Abstraction layer to make Compute, Network, and Storage facilities appear as needed by Workloads
SDE relies on virtualized physical resources, which can be configured to match the SLAs of services defined in the Service Catalogue

SDS creates smarter interactions between workloads and storage by:
– Exposing storage capabilities for the workloads to dynamically provision storage with the most suitable characteristics (i.e. OpenStack, VMWare)
– Introducing new operations and concepts between workloads and storage to let storage better adapt to the needs of workloads (i.e. Applied Analytics)
– Moving some of the storage functions closer to the workloads to leverage higher-level knowledge and/or lower cost (i.e. Ability to lift storage services off of disk systems)
– increasing reliance on commodity hardware

-- Brian Hopkins et al., Forrester Research, “Forrester’s Top 15 Emerging Technologies To Watch: Now To 2018”, February 2013.
Infrastructure matters because business outcomes matter and new outcomes entail new infrastructure demands.
“A wide range of innovations is happening at the infrastructure layer, as continued hardware improvements drive new capabilities for compute, storage, and networking and combine with new innovations in software. These will recombine in numerous ways to create much more capable infrastructure and application platforms. “
