Will these 5 predictions come true?
After attending the IBM software group analyst summit, it was clear that IBM is going “all in” on DevOps. This is not only product-wise, but internally as well. I hope to be covering this topic more. In the meantime, for 451 clients, here’s my report on the topic, and the summary out-take:
These activities feel like the start of IBM kicking off a new multi-year initiative: enabling its usual large enterprise customer base to take advantage of devops to deliver software to market with faster feedback loops. IBM is one of few companies that have the track record, will and resources to invest in multiple-year strategies like this. After several previous attempts to apply cloud technologies and practices to its portfolio and customer base, this time it feels like IBM has finally settled on the right mix of plan, market timing and resources. Now the hard work begins – building it all and bringing the resulting portfolio to market year after year.
If you don’t have access, you can always lead-gen yourself and get a 30 day trial.
IBM invests $1bn in Linux, again.
Ipeer select IBM Flex System to boost client retention
“We were extremely impressed with the Flex System solution that the IBM team presented to us,” says Jacobsson. “After seeing a proof-of-concept Flex System environment first hand, we were confident that the solution offered the capabilities we needed, and that the IBM team had the combination of technical expertise and deep industry experience required to ensure a successful implementation.”

@ambuj_goyal thanks Ambuj - my view is that IBM is ahead of Oracle, HP and others in addressing these issuesmHingley
Hi so we have @ambuj_goyal here now.. we will start with our first question soon #ibmsceuIBM SmarterComputing
Question One
Q1 Puresystem: Why now? #ibmsceuIBM SmarterComputing
a1 Distributed technologies are becoming more of a hindrance to business velocity #ibmsceuAmbuj Goyal
a1 Pure reduces the complexity without sacrificing choice and flexibility #ibmsceuAmbuj Goyal
Question Two
In this era of Matrix rather than Vertical Integration, how does the user avoid IBM lock-in? - ##ibmsceu live on http://livestream.com/ibmukmHingley
Q2 Good question @mHingley: In this era of Matrix rather than Vertical Integration, how does the user avoid IBM lock-in? #ibmsceuIBM SmarterComputing
a2 pure flex has choice of processor architectures, hypervisors, operating systems, databases, networking & storage technologies #ibmsceuAmbuj Goyal
Ambuj - starts Q&A session - wants to talk about industry as weel as IBM approach - ##ibmsceu live on http://livestream.com/ibmukmHingley
understanding trends without causing disruption. Change is hard, but must be done - ##ibmsceu live on http://livestream.com/ibmukmHingley
@mHingley Thanks I agree #ibmsceuAmbuj Goyal
Ambuj speaking at Pennyhill #ibmsceu http://twitpic.com/b2iogeKarl Roche
Question Three
what % of complexity is due to the supplier ? puresystems : a mask on IBM's complexity ? #ibmsceuEmmanuel Besluau
Q3 thanks @ebesluau: what % of complexity is due to the supplier ? puresystems : a mask on IBMs complexity ? #ibmsceuIBM SmarterComputing
a3 Distributed computing seems to be the prime contributor to complexity #ibmsceuAmbuj Goyal
a3 There are many suppliers!!!! #ibmsceuAmbuj Goyal
we do not want to lock-in, we do not want to force... IBM is nice in fact ! #ibmsceuEmmanuel Besluau
@ebesluau thanks for your questions Emmaunuel #ibmsceuIBM SmarterComputing
Question Four
Q4 Cloud: what is its greatest gift to an enterprise? #ibmsceuIBM SmarterComputing
a4 Business velocity #ibmsceuAmbuj Goyal
a4 Clients will often sacrifice economics in favor of speed of doing business #ibmsceuAmbuj Goyal
"@ambuj_goyal Business velocity #ibmsceu" the greatest cloud gift to the enterprisePaulo Carvao
sadly that's all we have time for as @ambuj_goyal has to fly to his next meeting #ibmsceuIBM SmarterComputing
Thank you for all the feedback and questions #ibmsceuAmbuj Goyal
Will continue to post reaction to the days event here on Storify
technology factors now above people skills, market, macro-economic, regulatory and globalisation as important external force #ibmsceuClive Longbottom
General purpose private clouds are not very successful. Special purpose private clouds are #ibmsceuPim Bilderbeek
le cloud : cela doit être très rapide et apporter un plus business ; sinon cela n'est pas : idée de A.Goyal #ibmsceuEmmanuel Besluau
Increased focus on security - but how much will orgs pay for it? Expectation of security as table stakes? #ibmsceuClive Longbottom
Software defined data centre - the complete abstraction of the hardware layer from the business logic/data layer - possibly. #ibmsceuClive Longbottom
Converged infrastructure is about consolidating the sprawl of systems into a single chassis #ibmsceuPim Bilderbeek
IBM - new systems will ahve standard stacks and converged infrastructures.. - ##ibmsceu live on http://livestream.com/ibmukmHingley
"recovery-oriented computing" : a normal approach when you design systems says A.Goyal #ibmsceuEmmanuel Besluau
Good presentation by Ambuj Goyal from #IBM on having sys of engagements #IBMSCEUDr. Mitul Mehta
recovery-oriented computing, SDDC, DC OS, data and transactions - ##ibmsceu live on http://livestream.com/ibmukmHingley
another system includes core data and transactions and tradtional dcs - ##ibmsceu live on http://livestream.com/ibmukmHingley
systems of engagement' need 'systems of record - ##ibmsceu live on http://livestream.com/ibmukmHingley
"Cost in data center 68% labor cost 20% only in asset" Ambuj Goyal #ibmsceuSylvie Dias
IDC - 2011 66% of costs are in server management & admin costs - looks like old data to me! - ##ibmsceu live on http://livestream.com/ibmukmHingley
IDC figures - server management and admin costs will be 68% of total IT costs in 2013 - still growing. #ibmsceuClive Longbottom
Consolidating sprawl of engagement systems is also about consolidating governance within the IT organisation #ibmsceu More difficultPim Bilderbeek
#ibmsceu risk, cost, investment -discussing value propositions in systemsAlea Fairchild
to me - reducing the customers cost of labour is central to reducing their overall IT costs - ##ibmsceu live on http://livestream.com/ibmukmHingley
"@monkchips: "weaving real time analytics into every business process has become the competitive advantage" - Ambuj Goyal, IBM" #ibmsceukirsten graham
Ambuj Goyal really hammering home IBM investment protection. they basically never sunset server lines #ibmsceuJames Governor
PureSystems is a way of 'coralling' the complexity of the physical world - ##ibmsceu live on http://livestream.com/ibmukmHingley
Enterprise Systems – Doug Brown, VP Marketing Enterprise Systems, STG
#ibmsceu Doug Brown on ES, changing infrastructure, risk, big data and innovationAlea Fairchild
had not heard of this before. IBM POWER SC - secure chips, supporting regulatory compliance, eg HIPAA, at the microprocessor level #ibmsceuJames Governor
Nature of transactions will change. Need to embed intelligence in transaction flows. #ibmsceu Operational analytics for dataPim Bilderbeek
142 new m/f customers since z/Enterprise intro in July 2010, one third in growth markets #ibmsceuClive Longbottom
Adobe converted to IBM Power Systems to solve problems. Flash does use a lot of resources #ibmsceuIan Murphy
want to hear a lot more about what POWER will do to attract analytics workloads. major DevRel investment needed #ibmsceuJames Governor
#ibmsceu Hybrid best fit, efficiency and scaleAlea Fairchild
IBM puts cost of a security breach for an enterprise at $5.5m. No real explanation of how that figure arrived at. FUD? #ibmsceuIan Murphy
IBM driving home the messaging about security and full encryption on zEnterprise and Power. How long before System X gets there #ibmsceuIan Murphy
PureSparta - Rado Nikolov, Director of PureSystems for Transactions & Analytics, SWG
IBM disclosing details about #PureData . Very curious to see what kind of HW architeccture it will be #ibmsceuGiorgio Nebuloni
Interestingly, IBM refrains from using the term "cloud" associated to PureSystems. Fully agree with that, avoid cloudwash. #ibmsceuGiorgio Nebuloni
Retail example for variety of data types: transaction, data mining, fraud detection #ibmsceuGiorgio Nebuloni
