Bluemix Focus Areas1 | Compute flexibility

2 | Services work anywhere

3 | Use, manage, & analyze data

Not just a PaaS anymore - 3 open compute options instead of one. Still focused on the best possible developer experience.

Use IBM, third party, or community services with apps hosted on Bluemix, on another cloud, or on your laptop.

Come to Bluemix to integrate with, prepare, manage, or analyze your data — or use our library of datasets to feed your apps.

4 | Integrate with systemsIntegrate apps with enterprise systems, expose private services, APIs, and infrastructure to Bluemix. 5

High-Level Structure of Bluemix

Seamless Experience

1 | PublicMaximize on cloud economics and agility.

2 | DedicatedEverything is dedicated and connected to you — agility of public cloud, yet feels like home.

3 | NEW: LocalBehind the firewall for the most sensitive workloads.

Regardless of which combination you choose, you can expect a single seamless experience

Deployment choiceBluemix Local sits either on OpenStack or VMWare driven infrastructure, or on a Bluemix appliance.

Built on open standardsBluemix Local combines the power of OpenStack, Cloud Foundry, and Docker.

Focus on apps, not ironFocus on building custom applications and services. IBM manages the platform and local services.

We’re on call – 24/7Experts are always on call to solve problems. Premium support options are also available to further meet your requirements.Portable apps and servicesBurst and move workloads as performance requirements and regulations change.

ProximitySide by side with your existing infrastructure to address low latency requirements.

Bluemix LocalThe power and flexibility of Bluemix in your own data center – fully managed cloud agility for even your most sensitive workloads.

Bluemix Local on PureApplication System

• “Prepare Pure for Bluemix”– Reserve a configurable number of

compute nodes for Bluemix Local• Min 2 / 32 cores• 3 / 48 cores for HA

– Not controlled by Pure PSM– Compute nodes can dynamically be

added and removed

• Leveraging pre-integrated compute, network and storage in the rack

• Bluemix instance managed via relay• PureApp managed by local staff via

regular IBM support process

Create Bluemix Cloud Group• Reserves Compute Nodes

for exclusive use in Bluemix Local instance

• Creates IP group and environment profile

Deploy Bluemix• Inception VM (manually

deployed) contains UCD agent

• Deployment of all Bluemix Local components driven through UCD from IBM• Base Cloud Foundry• (Some) local services• ACE console

Deploy additional apps and services• Local CF apps• Local, dedicated and

public services in the catalog

• Docker container service to be added later TBD

3 Steps to Deploy Bluemix Local

• Executed by IBM onsite as part of the Bluemix Local Onboarding Process• Less than 4 hours to a fully functional environment, ready to deploy applications!!

Bluemix on PureApplication Benefits

• Rapid setup with appliance form factor– Best of breed VMware configuration

• Optimized for Bluemix Local hosting• No vSphere access required

– Pre-provisioned and pre-configured compute, storage and networking resources• Full support for HA

– Built-in redundancy at every level (e.g. switches, compute, management, …)• Simple process for scaling in/out

– One-click addition of compute nodes into the environment• Streamlined support process

– Single support number for software and hardware• Built-in platform monitoring

– Can be integrated with existing ITM– Supports events/alerts via SNMP

• Seamless support for compute failures / maintenance– All VMs automatically evacuated and moved to other computes

• Can host traditional middleware environments on the same system– Using PureApplication patterns

21

Bluemix on PureApplication Customer Example

• Large financial institution in Europe– Legally mandated to keep data in-country

• Initial Bluemix Local setup done in one day– Uses roughly half of the available capacity in the system

• Use case targets locally deployed services– Also hosted on PureApplication– Watson Personality Insight– API Management

• Plan to integrate with traditional middleware apps running on the same platform
