Things You Need to Know

All IBM BladeCenter Foundation for Cloud transactions flow through the Sales Transaction Hub (new name for Deal Hub) … to get started use Deal Hub Connect. When filling out Abstract include the code name: Rainbow. The client gets:

– A single solution proposal– A single solution price – A single number to call for all solution issues

As a fit for purpose solution, the offering has limited options – 4 T-shirt sizes: Small (4 blades), Medium (5 to 14 blades), Large (15 to 28 blades) and XLarge

(29 to 56 blades) • Can vary # of blades in Medium, Large, and XLarge• Power can be 30 or 60 amp • Ethernet connections (1Gb/10Gb))

IBM BladeCenter Foundation for Cloud is a great door opener to a much deeper discussion with your client about their virtualization/cloud strategy

Fulfillment is via the Intelligent Cluster (e1350) process– Rack is fully configured with blades, servers, switches, storage, and software– Lab Services completes the install at client site

The offering is not available via the channel– This item is being worked– Channel partner can request an exception but an IBMer must be involved in the deal

The offering is not available in all countries– Limited to those that have M&TS support, have all parts available and priced and where BPs

are not sole IBM sales resource
