@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

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
