IBM Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is a model for delivering Internet-based information and technology services in real time. It allows users to see the services while the infrastructure that delivers these services remains transparent (or in the "cloud" ).
Workstations used to be tied to a mainframe. Now they're conversing with a cloud.
Conserve energy. Consolidate resources. Make information secure and available whenever and wherever it's needed. Think outside the data centre. It's time to think about more intelligent ways to handle the 15 petabytes* of new information we generate each day, and the massive increase of connected devices we use to work with that data. Optimising for the remarkably diverse workloads managed by businesses, organisations and governments.
It's time for a platform designed for efficient, effective computing in wide open spaces...in other words, everywhere. That's what the IBM Cloud is all about.
*What is a petabyte? 1 PB = 1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes or 1 petabyte = 1000 terabytes – that's a lot!
Cloud Computing – Training Offerings
Information technology is changing rapidly, and now forms an invisible layer that increasingly touches every aspect of our lives. Power grids, traffic control, healthcare, water supplies, food and energy, along with most of the world's financial transactions, now depend on information technology.
Cloud computing can significantly reduce IT costs & complexities while improving workload optimisation and service delivery. Cloud computing is massively scalable, provides a superior user experience, and is characterised by new, internet-driven economics.
IBM Training has some key offerings to build up the necessary skills in this very dynamic environment.
- WS009GB - Fundamentals of Cloud Computing - This 1-day, instructor-led course is designed to teach students the basic concepts and terminology of cloud computing.
Other available courses – depending upon your area of expertise:
ZA902GB - IBM WebSphere CloudBurst appliance v1.1 (e-learning)
Self-paced virtual courses provide the same deep technical content as our classroom courses, but allow you to learn on your own schedule.
The WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance is the first hardware appliance of its kind. Preloaded with WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition, it provides access to WebSphere Application Server virtual images and patterns so that application environments can be quickly and easily created, and securely deployed and managed in a private cloud.
AN71GB: 2 days - IBM Systems Director VMControl for a Cloud Computing infrastructure
This course shows how IBM Systems Director helps in a cloud architecture, and focuses on the management of virtual servers and virtual appliances in a virtualized environment.
Other available courses – depending upon your area of expertise:
- AN11GB: 3 days - Power Systems I - LPAR Configuration and Planning
- AN30GB: 4 days - Power Systems II - Virtualisation I: Implementing Virtualization
- AN31GB: 4 days - Power Systems III - Advanced PowerVM and Performance
SSD01GB: Scale Out Network Attached Storage (SONAS) Technical Training - New
Scale Out Network Attached Storage (SONAS) is designed to provide a super-scalar, clustered scale out NAS offering to manage vast repositories of information in enterprise environments requiring very large capacities, high levels of performance, and high availability. The system supports multiple petabytes of storage and billions of files in a single file system (Global Name Space). Data access to the system from client computers is provided using industry standard network file protocols including NFS, CIFS, HTTP, and FTP.
