What is an appliance?

§ Appliance may refer to a device with a narrow function…

– Home appliance, household machines, using electricity or some other energy input …

– Computer appliance, a computing device with a specific function and limited configuration ability

• A computer appliance is generally a separate and discrete hardware component specifically designed to provide a specific computing resource, and which often resides on a dedicated hardware platform

• These devices became known as "appliances" because of their similarity to home appliances, which are generally "closedand sealed" – not serviceable by the owner. In computer appliances the hardware is also usually sealed and not repairable or upgradeable by the user

From Computing appliances to Cloud appliances …

§ Computing appliance– Single purpose IT system– Designed for a specific purpose, closed architecture– Combination of hardware, operating system, and application– Popular for networking tasks (router, firewall, VPN, …)

and storage (NAS, …)– Main attributes … simple, reliable, easy to use

§ Cloud appliance– Purpose is to provide cloud features ‘out of the box’

• Self-service user interface• Provide IT resources, elastic in size and time,

using automation and virtualization– Mainly targets private clouds

• Expanding into also addressing the public cloud space

Examples for Appliances for the Cloud

§ IBM XH35 – WebSphere Castiron Appliance– WebSphere appliance– Focus on SaaS Data Integration

§ IBM WCA – Websphere CloudBurst Appliance– WebSphere appliance – Preconfigured management software– Preconfigured virtual server images containing

variations of Websphere middleware topologies

§ IBM CloudBurst– Based on blade center, switches, storage– Integrated management server (as virtual servers)– Preconfigured for using blade center resources– Extensible to include external IT center resources

Value proposition of cloud appliances

§ Typical cloud system consists of various components which need to be installed and configured

§ The average lead time to get a new cloud system up and running is 4-6 weeks

– Approvals, procurement, shipment, HW installation, license procurement, OS installation, application installation, configuration, …

§ Error prone process introducing delays in setup

– 30% of bugs are introduced by inconsistent configurations

– These bugs are often of the most difficult variety to detect

§ What admin & management efficiencies can be made to earn significant cost savings?

§ Drastically reduce set up and configuration time§ Standard configurations

enable “zero-touch” process, providing quick access§ Simplify maintenance and management§ Elimination of manual task management,

reducing time to deliver § Improved time to market§ Reduced ‚Time to Value‘ cost risk

due to priced packages

§ OptimizedTime to Value
