4. Innovation is the new currency
“Two guys in a Starbucks
can have access to the same
computing power as a
Fortune 500 company.”
Jim Deters
Founder, Galvanize
6. To really disrupt, a business
should focus on building
differentiation and rent the rest
Devs can quickly compose apps with
new APIs and digital services to add
features and increase engagement in
areas like:
• Analytics, cognition
• Mobile, location
• Internet of Things
• Social engagement
• Identity
• Reviews
• Travel
• Messaging
…
• His/her company’s private APIs and services

Please note: Presenter notes are on every slide. Written as a suggested script to help with messaging.
The instant power and speed of cloud has brought about new expectations for building applications on it.
Developers now expect:
To be able to deploy updates to their applications in seconds
To write their code in whichever tool or language they choose
Each has its own distinct “personality” and followings of developers have evolved around each of these
To be able to continually integrate working copies of code into a shared mainline at multiple points during the day
To focus on writing code, not on the administration of servers, virtualization, operating systems, and middleware.
To “fail fast” - or ensure applications fail immediately and visibly to speed debugging and fixes
To integrate useful APIs into their applications - who wants to write code that’s already been written and tested?
To build applications that are mobile ready - as users today expect their experience to be tailored to whatever device they happen to be using.
Please note: Presenter notes are on every slide. Written as a suggested script to help with messaging.
Infrastructure as a Service (and specifically IBM’s acquisition of SoftLayer) was the cloud’s initial answer to the need for faster deployments, faster environment setup, etc… by abstracting the infrastructure from the customer.
IaaS Benefits
Networking, Storage, Servers, Virtualization managed by service provider.
Most customizable cloud offering
Solutions where customizability of OS, Middleware, or Runtime needed
IaaS Time Commitment
Customer sets up and manages OS, Middleware, and Runtime - these still take at least a matter of days to setup and reach an initial deployment
Maintenance/upgrades necessary as well

We’ve seen over 30,000 beta applications thus far and have spoken to numerous developers about the value Bluemix provides. We’ve learned that developers are joining for 3 key reasons (go through reasons on the page).
Rapid setup and time to production
Frequent releases - delivery of fixes or new functionality quickly
Integrating apps with on premises infrastructure
Please note: Presenter notes are on every slide. Written as a suggested script to help with messaging.
Bluemix also allows flexibility when it comes to tooling - as, again, each developer has different preferences and needs.
Tooling Options:
IBM offers a web based integrated development environment (IDE) and associated git repository that allows quick deployments back to bluemix.
Developers can also edit code on their local machines (with the editor of their choice - i.e. Sublime) and deploy back to Bluemix through the cloud foundry command line.
Note to presenter: Other IDEs (like Eclipse, Cloud9) have direct integration with Cloud Foundry and can push code directly to bluemix, rather than a manual push by developer via command line. You may be asked about this.
Bluemix is built on top of IBM’s infrastructure as a service offering - SoftLayer. It embraces Cloud Foundry as an open source platform as a service and extends it with IBM, third party, and community built services.
Explain Diagram (verbs in blue - please use this terminology)
Start by Pushing your code through Cloud Foundry
Cloud Foundry interprets which language you’ve used and associates your code to the appropriate runtime - now you have a working app (layer above runtimes).
Your app can
Pull prebuilt services (IBM, 3rd party, or community built) in from the marketplace and utilize their functionality
Connect to traditional IT - aka “Your Systems” with a secure connector
Connect to other clouds that you utilize with a secure connector
All of this sits on infrastructure (networking, storage, servers) hosted by IBM Softlayer (IBM’s IaaS cloud offering)
Finally - when your app is built and ready to go, it can be accessed by anything with a web browser and a connection to the internet, a smartphone app (via the Bluemix SDK) to utilize backend services, or another type of app or system (via an API you create).

Global Footprint
1. IPv4/IPv6: Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the latest version of the Internet Protocol (IP), the communications protocol that provides an identification and location system for computers on networks and routes traffic across the Internet. IPv6 was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to deal with the long-anticipated problem of IPv4 address exhaustion.
IPv6 is intended to replace IPv4, which still carries more than 96% of Internet traffic worldwide as of May 2014.[1][2][3] As of June 2014, the percentage of users reaching Google services over IPv6 surpassed 4% for the first time.[4]
Every device on the Internet is assigned an IP address for identification and location definition. With the ever-increasing number of new devices being connected to the Internet (from computers and smartphones to the Internet of Things), the need arose for more addresses than the IPv4 address space has available. IPv6 uses a 128-bit address, allowing 2128, or approximately 3.4×1038 addresses, or more than 7.9×1028 times as many as IPv4, which uses 32-bit addresses. IPv4 provides approximately 4.3 billion addresses. The two protocols are not designed to be interoperable, complicating the transition to IPv6. However, IPv4 addresses can be mapped to a special set of IPv6 addresses, and there are a number of IPv6 transition mechanisms to allow IPv4 and IPv6 hosts to communicate with each other.3 Datacenters across three continents.
2. Global Domain Name System (DNS) : The DNS protocol is an important part of the web's infrastructure, serving as the Internet's phone book: every time you visit a website, your computer performs a DNS lookup. Complex pages often require multiple DNS lookups before they start loading, so your computer may be performing hundreds of lookups a day.
3. Global DDOS Mitigation: Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are increasing in size, frequency and duration. Large number of compromised devices ‘flood’ a target server or network with incoming messages, a DDoS attack can temporarily cripple infrastructure or even force it to shut down. IBM’s Global DDoS Protection solution monitors your online traffic and helps mitigate the effect of DDoS attacks by promptly activating a cost-effective and efficient solution.
4. Global Internet Exchanges & Peering: The primary purpose of an IXP is to allow networks to interconnect directly, via the exchange, rather than through one or more third-party networks. The advantages of the direct interconnection are numerous, but the primary reasons are cost, latency, and bandwidth.
IBM SoftLayer: the Only Cloud provider in the world with a global internet backbone:
17 Network POPs including all major carrier exchanges worldwide
7 Tier 1 transit providers, 1400 private peers, pass about 500Gbps sustained
IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack – every compute instance and ancillary service comes dual stacked
Arbor Network & Cisco Network Analysis and DDOS Mitigation
Enterprise DNS system consisting of over 400 load balanced physical nodes across 20 global locations
20,000,000 active domains
100,000+ physical nodes – millions of virtual machines

Pay as you go
Pay for what you use (runtimes/services) and nothing more
No commitment
Subscription
Pick a monthly commitment price and subscription term — receive a discount off of pay as you go rates
We’ve seen over 30,000 beta applications thus far and have spoken to numerous developers about the value Bluemix provides. We’ve learned that developers are joining for 3 key reasons (go through reasons on the page).
Rapid setup and time to production
Frequent releases - delivery of fixes or new functionality quickly
Integrating apps with on premises infrastructure

Bluemix is built on top of IBM’s infrastructure as a service offering - SoftLayer. It embraces Cloud Foundry as an open source platform as a service and extends it with IBM, third party, and community built services.
Explain Diagram (verbs in blue - please use this terminology)
Start by Pushing your code through Cloud Foundry
Cloud Foundry interprets which language you’ve used and associates your code to the appropriate runtime - now you have a working app (layer above runtimes).
Your app can
Pull prebuilt services (IBM, 3rd party, or community built) in from the marketplace and utilize their functionality
Connect to traditional IT - aka “Your Systems” with a secure connector
Connect to other clouds that you utilize with a secure connector
All of this sits on infrastructure (networking, storage, servers) hosted by IBM Softlayer (IBM’s IaaS cloud offering)
Finally - when your app is built and ready to go, it can be accessed by anything with a web browser and a connection to the internet, a smartphone app (via the Bluemix SDK) to utilize backend services, or another type of app or system (via an API you create).

Bluemix leverages SoftLayer and IBM’s hosting experience to provide you with a trusted and secure platform to build and deploy your applications.
IBM’s focus is on securing the platform and the infrastructure - utilizing a number of rigorous security standards:
Defense in depth
Each layer (in the stack on the right) is secured assuming that the layer above isn’t.
Intrusion protection/penetration testing
Data Isolation
Automated Patch Management
Your focus is on securing your applications. We provide you with the tools to do that.
SSO
