What is utility computing?  Organizations pay for computing they have been used processing power network bandwidth software applications  Utility computing works in many ways  Providers make money by running outsourced technology departments more efficiently than customers could shared or virtual servers

What is utility computing?  Utility computing uses a virtualized infrastructure  With a virtualized infrastructure: people, process and technology are focused on service levels capacity is allocated dynamically the entire infrastructure is simplified and flexible enables a utility or pay-per-use model for IT services

IBM grid solutions  IBM has grid solutions to many different areas: Aerospace and automotive industry Agricultural chemicals industry Electronics industry Financial services industry Life sciences Petroleum industry Government and higher education

Aerospace and automotive industry (IBM)  Grid solutions enhance data sharing  People can distribute disparate workflow time to market will be accelerated  Improvements will occur because of faster data capture data compilation data analysis  Batch jobs are routed transparently to unused cycles  Disparate systems can be virtualized as a single system central system management become easier

Agricultural chemicals industry (IBM)  Grid solutions can maximize use of existing data resources and assets by unified data access simplified integration secured access to data lead identification through innovative information analysis improved use of computing and storage resources  By grid solutions it is possible to execute sequence comparison algorithms it is easier to manage different databases

Electronics industry (IBM)  Grid solutions can improve electronics design processes and reduce products time to market by many ways enabling seamless data sharing across systems optimizing computing capacity and existing infrastructure investments running compute-intensive processes on open standards platforms  Creating unified product development is much easier

Financial services industry (IBM)  Grid technologies can significantly enhance different banks competitiveness reduce time in diverse jobs banks get more sophisticated and accurate analyses  In risk management area grid’s distributed environment can run several risk scenarios in parallel  Organizations get faster financial analysis and more effective risk management

Life Sciences (IBM)  IBM grid solutions can enhance productivity a lot aggregating and sharing of recourses is easier execution of sequence comparison algorithms is faster  People get innovative information analysis and ability to respond faster to opportunities presented by data

Petroleum industry (IBM)  Grid solutions give more accurate results and less time is spent on value-adding decisions how to optimally extract oil and gas from producing fields faster processing of ever-expanding quantities of data

Government and higher education (IBM)  Grid solutions of IBM allow agencies to make database and file-based data available across a department or organization with securing data access and optimizing storage  Help in creating and managing virtual organizations by helping procure compute and data resources on demand adding and removing virtual organisations participants dynamically providing on demand storage capacity for data collected from sensor nets facilitating fusion engines that assimilate, aggregate and correlate raw information providing resilient secure systems data and assisting in weather-system modelling and prediction  Organisations get faster and more seamless predictive governmental collaboration and organization

HP grid solutions  Hewlett-Packard Utility Data Center solutions let corporations virtualize data center environment to adapt to fast-changing business needs, while sharply reducing operational costs  On Demand solutions from HP offer a practical, cost-effective approach to utility computing that delivers IT resources whenever corporations need them  HP offers solutions with three On Demand Solution programs: Instant capacity Metered capacity Managed capacity

HP grid solutions  Instant capacity corporations get immediate access to additional server and storage capacity payment is based on planned usage, which reduces upfront investment while delivering increased flexibility in asset ownership

HP grid solutions  Metered capacity HP metering technology monitors your systems, allowing corporations to pay for IT assets as people dial up and dial down actual usage payment is based on this usage, thus reducing the need for capacity planning and the risks associated with changes in business volume HP offers these pay-per-use solutions for servers, storage, imaging and printing

HP grid solutions  Managed capacity proven end-to-end IT solution management maximizes the value of organizations enterprise assets by allowing they to manage their IT infrastructure with fewer resources or redirect your resources to core competencies managed capacity solutions support access, managed storage, and messaging

HP grid solutions  On Demand solutions have been divided to four sections Access on Demand Imaging & Printing on Demand Messaging on Demand Storage on Demand

Access on Demand (HP)  Access on Demand solutions deliver complete client-computing solutions geared to different business needs  Access on Demand include high-performance computing platforms software associated services  Monthly price

Imaging & Printing on Demand (HP)  Pay-per-Use Imaging and Printing Program allows organizations to streamline their printing environment by reducing time, cost, complexity, and risk allows to manage organizations print environment with the latest HP printer technology  HP Services provides: physical installation network installation technical support, including hardware and software assistance maintenance

Messaging on Demand  HP offers solution for messaging needs ideal for organizations with 5000 or more mailboxes tailored to meet the exact needs of corporations user community for office workers HP offers Microsoft Exchange 2000 on Demand for environments with a mix of user types HP offers Tiered Messaging on Demand

Storage on Demand  HP Pay per Use for StorageWorks XP is a solution if company is trying to avoid locking into an expensive storage infrastructure companies can make sure that they have sufficient reserve storage capacity on hand to meet fluctuating service needs companies pay a fixed monthly fee plus a variable fee that is based on the actual usage of storage  HP Managed Storage Solution helps companies manage their storage infrastructure efficiently and productively pay-per-use basis combination of capacity-based storage services and remote management that delivers the storage capacity and technical expertise companies need
