 Good afternoon. Sorry about the delay in getting started. Earlier this afternoon, Jesse Proudman and Shamil spoke of the use cases for OpenStack, use cases around the world, use cases that are cutting edge with IoT and more traditional with web services technology. With OpenStack over the last five years, we have built multiple products. And today we are going to talk about a series of cloud offerings that we have built on OpenStack. They also meet a variety of use cases. And then I'll have my team come up and talk about the individual cloud offerings. The first thing let's get started with is our own open cloud strategy. Those of you who attended the keynote heard Angel and Jesse talk about how Open is important to IBM, open source in general, but OpenStack in particular. And it isn't just about bringing IT technologies. It's about enabling automation. It's about saving money. It's about providing on demand capability. It's basically about accelerating innovation. Now innovation comes in various forms. But the part that we focus on is the digital transformation to enable you, our customers, to achieve more with your technology investments, to achieve more with your technology integrations, to achieve more by having us provide more of the capabilities in a standard format which allows you to focus on your business solutions. That's the focus of our OpenStack strategy. Now OpenStack itself has had phenomenal growth. You saw that today. You saw that yesterday in all the presentations and by the sheer number of participants in not just the summit, but of course the entire community. And we were here at the beginning five years ago. And at that time, the number of participants, the number of companies participating could be counted on with hands. But now 550. Now through this time, we have been contributing with reviewers. We have been contributing with board members. We have been contributing with core contributors. And the numbers speak to the significance IBM puts on ensuring that we are a major contributor to the community. But as Jesse said this morning, you can't out and await the world. And the world has to participate in the community. And I am gratified that even though we as IBM are number five in terms of the reviewers, we have three of the top 10 contributors, we are not at OpenStack, which is primarily an IBM community, not at all. A lot of you are contributing. A lot of the people who compete in IT technology space are contributing. That truly ensures that we have a community that is off the planet. And we can, in fact, participate together to innovate. Now one of the biggest changes that has occurred in OpenStack in the last 18 months is the use of OpenStack in production. For those of you who have attended the summit in the past, you would recall that there were significant discussion about the level of effort it goes to install. It's a significant discussion about how is your testing going. But now the discussions we hear are about how is your production used, how is your availability been, how has been your ability to accept the innovations coming out from the community. 60% in a survey. 60% said that they have plans in place or they have already executed upon them to put it in production. Many of the big company names that Shamil and Jesse spoke of earlier this afternoon already do have them in production. And of the Fortune 100 companies, 11 of them have production implementations of OpenStack. Point being OpenStack has arrived. OpenStack has arrived as a solution, as a distribution. But what's more important for us is that OpenStack has arrived as a basis of standardized solutions. And it is the standardized solutions, the use cases of the standardized solutions that we'll explore. Now, one big aspect of Jesse's and Angel's keynote speech was about OpenStack going global. Our customer base using our OpenStack solutions is, in fact, quite global. In Australia, Waltz Systems, their entire business is predicated on secure multi-tenancy solutions. They are utilizing our OpenStack-supported next-scale systems to build out their offering. Over in Germany, the technology reseller has solutions utilizing on-premises, on their own hardware, as well as on-soft layer bare metal servers. And they run OpenStack across them, and they access OpenStack using the APIs, their code being completely portable, regardless of whether they're targeting the off-premises or the on-premises solution. While over in the US, a service provider provides on-demand access to compute capacity that's utilizing OpenStack, this is enabling them one tier of differentiation in that they aren't just customers. They are customers who have customers of their own enabled with OpenStack. That shows a level of reliability for these companies to essentially bank their business on OpenStack because the entire offering is OpenStack-based, their entire business is OpenStack-based. But speaking of banks in China, a banking customer utilizing OpenStack to manage their applications on power systems. It's not just about X86, there are OpenStack support for power, OpenStack support for mainframes, allowing you to get VMs as a service regardless of whether they're X86, power or on Z systems. Now, these offerings, these capabilities are made available through the use of OpenStack in standard formats for public, dedicated and local. Through all those, we have a single theme running across. The single theme focuses on delivering four value propositions for all of our customers on all of our platforms. The first, the very aspect that we have these multiple platforms is for you to have choice. But choice is not very useful if it's not consistent from an API perspective, from a user experience perspective, or from a capability perspective. You wish to have the choice because your workloads require very specific aspects in terms of locations, scalability, latency, security. It is on that basis that you wish to choose. But when you make the choice, you don't want to be forced to operate differently. And choice with consistency ensures that your experience and the experience of your users and the capabilities that we provide are the same regardless of the deployment model chosen. Now, this deployment model allows you to build applications that potentially have components on different deployment models. Part of it is on the public cloud, part of it might be on premises on a private cloud. That starts building out hybrid applications. Now, hybrid applications may have been a bear to create and maintain two years ago. But with the industrialized hybrid cloud that IBM now offers that underpins everything that we have launched in the last one year, that industrialization of the capability provides a level of security, stability, SLAs for you to go production with hybrid applications. Now, all these new applications that are being developed are being developed in a slightly different way than in the past. Yourselves, your competitors, our other customers, they're taking a dev ops approach to developing these applications. The tooling that we have put in place enables that approach. The productivity of your developers is the primary focus. So everything that we are releasing this past year and moving on to the future maintains that focus on ensuring we deliver higher productivity for your dev ops operations. That higher productivity for development obviously means getting it done quicker. But from a ops perspective, it means SLAs. It means less effort to do the run and maintain. And last and certainly not the least is making the data, the telemetry in place, making it more accessible by the average developer and the average user. We're fond of saying that the amount of data and the amount of problems that exist in our industries is more than any number of data scientists you could hire. Well, you don't have to hire the data scientists to do this because every IBM cloud product focused on providing the analytics in an accessible manner that are easy to determine actionable outcomes from. So I spoke off the three different deployment models, public, dedicated off-premises and on-premises by which of course I mean your choice of data center doesn't have to be our office. It's just a data center that you choose sometimes that could even be an IBM data center. The focus on these three models and having the same thing is to ensure that when you go public, you're able to use infrastructure that's designed for hyperscale, which means that number one, you can get it on demand. Number two, you can grow it on demand without any commitment, any investment. But many a times it's simply not enough. It is simply not enough to have the segregation that virtualization allows. You are required to end up with some level of stronger segregation for compliance and security. For that, we provide off-premises dedicated. And sometimes off-premises is not good enough. You actually need it on the premises you choose. Those two on the right are our two private cloud implementations, Bluebox Cloud. 90 days from when Bluebox became part of IBM, Bluebox Cloud was available on every one of the 30 plus software data centers. In 90 days, that shows the level of industrialization that already existed in the Bluebox offering and shows the capability of bare metal servers and software that already existed. And that marriage has brought an offering that we are finding incredible success with because private hosted cloud. Private hosted cloud gives you all of the security you desire and the agility to be able to get new resources on demand. Local is what we announced this week. This week at OpenStack, we announced Bluebox Local, the ability for you to get the same cloud I described. On your premises. And I'd like Hernan to please come up and talk about this. Now, Hernan, you may have seen earlier today, he was our very own Chief Ramen Noodle Officer. But his day job is our Chief Product Officer. So, Hernan, thank you. Thank you, Sunil. Thank you very much. And good afternoon. My name's Hernan Alvarez, I'm Chief Product Officer and yes, that was me and a ramen outfit running around like a lunatic on stage. I was coaxed into that early this morning. I'm sure after much cajoling late last night. So, I wanna talk to you a little bit about Bluebox and what we are and the value we offer and why we chose to integrate with IBM. We were a private company for about 10 years, 11 years, started in Seattle by Jesse Pram, who you probably saw earlier, really grew up as a managed hosting company. And what that means is that we are running mission critical applications for customers since really day one of the company's existence. And then a couple of years ago with the obvious growth of OpenStack and importance of Private Cloud, we pivoted the company to become a private cloud company but we saw it a little bit different than how other people saw it. We saw private cloud being very complicated and difficult to deploy for really all customers, customers of all sizes, of all budgets. And so what we did is we changed it and turned it on its head and said let's make Private Cloud as a service. And so we built a product based on OpenStack, leveraging our years of experience inside of data center operations, network operations, customer support and deployed that as a service to the customer so they could come to us and by capacity of a base cloud we would do all the maintenance, the deployment, the ongoing upgrades, the monitoring of that service. And that changed how people were able to consume OpenStack. So we've had that product in market for a little bit more about a year and a half. We integrated with IBM. We are acquired by IBM in June this year. We took that product that was running in our data centers in four blue box data centers around the world and we pivoted. We said, look what we have with IBM. We have software out there with 27 to 30 data centers around the world. Let's move it onto into software. 90 days later we had that. And I'm gonna let Asmire talk a little bit more about that dedicated product. He's gonna come up here in a couple minutes. So we have years of experience with operating clouds. We did it in our own data centers. Now we do it in software data centers. Let's take that knowledge. Let's take that product and take it to the next level and deploy that inside of customers four walls. And those four walls could be their own data center. It could be a co-loop of their choosing. It could also be an IBM data center, as Sunil said. And so leveraging that we deployed this week or announced the GA this week of blue box local. So we take the exact same product that we deliver in the dedicated environment and deploy that in a local environment. So that user experience is consistent. So as Sunil talked about the entire service catalog going up, going the entire service catalog being available across, I'm getting a note from the translator just saying slow down. I'm notoriously fast talker anyways. Thank you very much. Yeah. So we took that expertise and we deployed it in a local. Now being able to leverage it and taking that exact same product. So whether you're consuming it in a software data center in a public context or a dedicated context or a local context, you're getting the same service and support. And ultimately you're getting a private cloud experience or a public cloud experience with private cloud benefits. So you might need security, compliance, latency, access to existing IT infrastructure. There's centuries of data out there. Essentially IBM is a 109 year old company as I write Sunil, 109. So IBM's been around for a long time. We have business knowledge that's inside of the organization that we want to capture and every business has this whether your company is 10 years old or 100 years old you need to be able to express that business knowledge and that business value through these cloud solutions. And so having a solution that gives you the flexibility, the scalability and the reliability of a public cloud but in that private context and access to that local infrastructure and the legacy or existing IT infrastructure is really important. And we're seeing a great demand from our customers with that. They talked a little bit about who we were so I'm gonna move past the slide. And we talked about the fact that now we can reach out to all the data centers, all the software data centers and now your data center. So we can take that exact same product. We can deploy it in a software or in your data center you're choosing. And what we see is that customers are looking for a turnkey solution that has predictable performance and also has security. They need to understand where the data lives. They need to understand how it's being accessed. Who is accessing it? They also need an open stack environment that's consistently moving. Open stack is fast moving. Every six months there's a new release as we all know. If you just deploy a regular distribution, put it in place and you build a complex infrastructure there's a high likelihood that that infrastructure is gonna bit rot right where it is. And so what we say is that our open stack delivered as a service allows the customers to be able to benefit from the very latest innovations that are happening in the open stack environment. Whether that's SDN or NFV or other type analytics with Watson, integrating power systems or other type of applications, Bluemix. And then we also know that customers need it in high availability and that's actually a very difficult challenge to solve. So Bluemix has spent its years of operational experience to design an open stack solution that meets those high availability requirements. And then ultimately customers are looking for a partner, a good partner that's been around that has an established roadmap and they're established track record of helping customers succeed and IBM is that. It's one of the main reasons why we're so excited to be able to participate with IBM. And I wanna take a minute to hand this back over to Sunil and thank everybody for your time today. I'm available to talk more about local after this and I think Sunil might have a chance for some Q and A afterwards. That's great, thank you Hernan. Private cloud as a service where you want it. Truly innovation and I'm so happy to have Bluebox delivered this week. Now getting back to what we launched last month since we do things that frequently. I'd like Asmir to come up and speak to you about Bluebox dedicated and how it's available in all of our software data centers now. Thank you Asmir. Thanks Sunil. All right, so I like to start with a customer story and then move back to the product. So BioIQ is a company that was a Bluebox customer before the acquisition but it really does illustrate the type of customer and the type of benefit you get from using a hosted private cloud. Really it allows you to focus on the innovation at the application layer and really not worry about the infrastructure. We found that what really drives the business of our customers really is what drives their business and a lot of times like BioIQ they're in the medical field and so being able to drive their innovation on a environment that is very elastic, highly available and distributed was really important to them. And they really wanted an open technology, so the open stack was really something that was key to them and then really they didn't want to figure out all the different permutations of open stack. So a lot of those things really drive them towards choosing an option where they allow the experts, in this case is Bluebox, to deal with the infrastructure in open stack while they, the experts of their own applications can really drive innovation much faster. So there's six things that I really think are critical in terms of defining what is key about Bluebox Dedicated. I'm gonna start with performance and I'm gonna work my way counterclockwise to the rest. So performance is key. So every single customer has their own infrastructure. So there's no need for you to share and have a noisy or nosy neighbor. So you can always, you can pretty much guarantee the performance you're going to get from each private cloud that we build and that's huge. And with the power that we get from SoftLayer, the options that we have around hardware multiplies considerably. So that's really a key value that we see. So whether you're running a web scale application that you're running your own or you're trying to move over a legacy application, the infrastructure that we build is compatible with that. The second thing is global availability. So we talked about the 20 plus, 30 plus data centers. Let's talk about the data centers in the Asia Pacific area. So SoftLayer has a data center in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Chennai, and all of those are connected using a global high speed network which means that you can send, you can replicate data anywhere in the world for free. So that's the power of having all these different data centers. You can build new use cases that is impossible if you were to build and open that cloud by yourself. And so by leveraging the power that we have with SoftLayer, we can really drive a significant more innovation in OpenSec and of course in the layers above OpenSec. And we also feel it's very cost effective. We charge on a monthly basis for our service. And so a lot of customers, that's really a new model for them. They no longer have to worry about the cost of hardware. It gets amortized as operating expense. More important thing is that the OpenSec experts, we find that is very, is a few and far between, that's something they don't have to worry about. So that gets there. Our OpenSec is stock. We don't modify OpenSec. We make it 100% compatible with any single version of OpenSec you have out there. And then finally around private and elastic, we can definitely provide that privacy because every piece of hardware is dedicated to a customer and then we can grow and shrink the cloud whenever you want. I'm gonna go ahead and pass this on to Yihari to talk about the public implementation that we have with BlueMix. Thank you. So why public cloud? Because it's a cost effective and reliable way of delivering value. Organizations, both big and small, across geographies and across virtually every industry. So our OpenSec public cloud allows for rapid cloud instantiation with virtual resources. We have elastic resources for workloads such as application development, analytics, and social applications. We deliver cloud economics by leveraging the shared pay-as-you-go public infrastructure. Like Dedicated that you saw before, IBM manages the OpenSec infrastructure, the network gateways, compute and storage hardware, and hypervisors to an SLA of 99.95%. Also like Dedicated, IBM software defined networking provides agility for existing and future cloud networking requirements. So this is our IBM's Open Standards cloud-based platform as a service known as BlueMix. We use this for building, running, and managing applications of all types like web, mobile, and big data. With BlueMix, developers can choose among various services and tools in order to build engaging solutions. As you can see, we have a very large ecosystem. Our clients include banks, manufacturers, across various industries, and retail. With both banking and retail, for instance, we find clients that are deploying their web applications in the public cloud and then reaching down into their local data center where they have their databases or other storage needs. So I wanna point you to the two new betas that we have on OpenStack. IBM Virtual Machines and Object Store. So if you'll go visit us in our PED, you'll see how we have our newest OpenStack-based services that work really fast. I'm really proud to say the Virtual Machine spin up in less than a minute. And we can reach down into the Object Store and connect the two together. So with that, I'll pass it back to Sunil. Thank you, Yahari. Now you all got to hear from three of our offering leads, three different versions of cloud for three specific use cases, all running on OpenStack, all RefStack compliant, offering you interoperability, completely productized, completely industrialized as a service. The value that OpenStack's maturity and going to production use as fast as it is removes one of the biggest barriers that we used to have in OpenStack. The second barrier was skills. Receiving these services from us as a service removes that barrier. All of you contribute to OpenStack, IBM contributes to OpenStack and it allows us to ensure that we are always learning about the real world use cases around which we are building these offerings. By having all three, we are underscoring our commitment to OpenStack, to Open, and to Hybrid Deployments. All of us are here for the next few minutes to take any questions that you have and we look forward to seeing you through the rest of the day. Thank you very much for coming.
