Modernize and Transform your IT with IBM Storage and CatalogicCopy Data Management Peter Eicher, Catalogic

Agenda

• Modernization and Transformation–What does it mean?– How are we doing?

• Catalogic ECX: What is it?• Modernization and Transformation Use Cases• User example

2

Organizations are Looking Toward the Future

3

Organizations need to modernize IT operations

What does “modernize” really mean?

IT transformation is happening now, but how are we doing?

Surveying the IT Landscape

VMware surveyed 660 global firms and asked them:

• How do you want to transform IT?

• How can you better serve your organization?

• Are you succeeding or failing?

4

What is IT Transformation and Modernization?

Firms in the survey saw IT Transformation and Modernization as primarily fitting three categories • Transforming Operations• Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure• Empowering and Accelerating

Application Development

5

Are Organizations Succeeding at Transformation?

90% of organizations feel it is important to have a documented IT transformation strategy and

roadmap in place

Yet over 55% have nothing documented

While some organizations are transforming successfully, most are struggling

Deploying Hybrid Cloud

Why do organizations want to move to a hybrid cloud model?• Looking for cost efficiencies• Want to move more workloads to the cloud

How are organizations doing?• 90% are only in evaluation or proof-of-

concept phase for hybrid cloud• 91% have no organized, consistent method

of evaluating workloads for hybrid cloud

11

How Can Catalogic Help with Hybrid Cloud?• Catalogic bridges the gap between system-of-record data and flexible

cloud compute resources • Automated replication of data into the cloud• Push-button spinning up of cloud compute to operate on data • Spin-down of workloads to save compute costs

Transforming Operations

13

Transforming OperationsWhat is the goal of Transforming Operations?• Run IT like a customer-focused business• Automate operations like infrastructure provisioning• Identify key services and present them in an easily

consumable way, such as via self-service

How are organizations doing?• 77% of organizations want to be able to provision

infrastructure in less than a day– Yet over 50% say it takes between a week and a month– The best 20% can provision in a day to a week

• 76% of organizations have no self-service in place, or under-developed offerings

14

How Can Catalogic Help Transform Operations?• Catalogic provisions infrastructure-as-a-service– Storage access or full system spin-up (storage, networking, compute)

• Infrastructure provisioning takes place in minutes• Routine, manual, labor-centric tasks are automated to push-button speed• Service delivery via IT or through user self-service

Better Application Development

16

Better Application DevelopmentWhat is the goal for better App Development ?• Organizations want agile processes and

automated platform (infrastructure) delivery How are organizations doing?• 82% of organizations do not have a scalable,

infrastructure-independent application delivery framework• 68% take as long as 12 months to complete a

new application development cycle

17

How Can Catalogic Help with Application Development?

• Catalogic satisfies the need for automated platform delivery by spinning up complete systems, based on most recent data copies• Drive via GUI-based portal or RESTful APIs• Supports Waterfall or DevOps models• Works across heterogeneous storage

infrastructures• Works in conjunction with DevOps tools– Chef, Puppet, IBM Bluemix, IBM UrbanCode, etc.
