Six related trends in the cloud computing industry

There are a lot of places worth learning about cloud computing. In this article, we mainly introduce some related trends of IBM cloud computing and cloud computing industry, including IBM Ensembles, IBM TSAM, IBM WebSphere CloudBurst and so on.

1) IBM Ensembles

Ensembles is a collection of resource pools implemented through virtualization that includes compute resource pools - Server Ensemble, Network Resource Pools - Network Ensembles, and Storage Resource Pools - Storage Ensembles. Virtualization technology hides the underlying technical details and provides management, configuration, and tuning of resources. All Ensemble must implement key management operations such as user accounts, resource operations, utility optimization, security management, and more. Ensemble Ensemble service interface above these three, it provides users with a unified interface. Ensembles consolidates data center server, network and storage resources through virtualization technology and provides them to upper-level applications or users through the Ensemble interface.

2) IBM TSAM

IBM Tivoli Service Automation Manager provides users with a solution for managing the application service life cycle. TSAM is about managing the complete lifecycle of a wide range of products in a cloud architecture while meeting customer needs for quality of service by provisioning and optimizing resources. TSAM's design emphasizes faster service availability and delivery, as well as lower operating costs. TSAM provides three phases of management capabilities, including the service design phase, deployment phase and runtime management phase.

3) IBM WebSphere CloudBurst

IBM WebSphere CloudBurst Application (WCA), a product of IBM's middleware software brand WebSphere, that creates, deploys and manages private WebSphere cloud environments, helps users create and manage service-oriented private cloud platforms with the largest The advantage is the effective integration of the cloud infrastructure layer and the cloud platform layer. WCA can be deployed quickly and easily to users' existing data centers, providing them with a secure and secure private cloud computing environment.

4) IBM LotusLive

IBM LotusLive is a typical example of software-as-a-service (SOA) application layer in IBM's cloud computing application layer. It is a set of services that are delivered through the Web and includes conference services, office collaboration and email services.

5) IBM RC2

To meet the resource demands of large-scale computing tasks, IBM Research Inc., a network of eight research institutes worldwide, co-founded a private, web-based cloud called IBM Research Computer Cloud (RC2).

6) IBM cloud environment solution

The solution focuses on how to automate the construction and management of an enterprise private cloud that incorporates the rich capabilities that IBM's worldwide existing virtualization and cloud computing offerings offer such as the products mentioned above, The challenge of intelligent building and management integrates many innovative research findings. The solution's key features are as follows: integrated deployment and fast on-line; centralized monitoring and simplified management; performance optimization and dynamic scaling; resource optimization and energy management.
