Strategies, Market Shares, and Market
Forecasts, 2011-2017. EMC/ VMware, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, Citrix, and dominate the
markets for cloud architecture. IBM SOA services oriented architecture is the base for
enterprise cloud virtualization initiatives leveraging middleware to implement the cloud.
The 2011 study has 971 pages and 255 tables and figures. Worldwide markets are poised
to achieve significant growth as globally integrated enterprises worldwide move to
implement more cost efficient IT systems. Transaction process and Internet workload
computer processing delivery modalities depend on the efficiencies of scale achievable
using cloud computing.
Virtualization is the fundamental aspect of cloud computing. Virtualization permits
enterprises to achieve modernization of IT by consolidating workloads onto fewer platforms
and to optimize the management of those workloads with automated process. The aim of
computer virtualization is to increase the utilization of systems in the data center and
at the line of business.
Most workloads being virtualized are the Microsoft applications used in the data
center. Scale out Web applications, with each application located on a separate server are
being consolidated at a rapid pace. Each application is being packaged as an image that
runs on a larger server, with 10 to 15 images per server being achieved for consolidation
in the distributed platform environments, and 100 to 500 images per IFL being achieved on
the mainframe Linux class servers.
Cloud computing has three virtualization aspects: Software as a Service (SaaS),
Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Business software as
a service SaaS applications and cloud computing models have matured and adoption has
become an issue for every IT department. These models are offered as solutions targeted
top different types of application delivery. These solutions all adapt to virtualized
environments.
Microsoft solutions are being virtualized to increase the utilization and density of
server processing. VMware a virtualization solution commonly used. It facilitates the
creation of virtual machines on the Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003
operating systems, creating multiple images of single servers on a larger server. Server
virtualization creates economies for running the data center.
Virtual machines are created and managed through a VMware or tother web-based
interface. A utility is used to mount multiple server images on a single more powerful
server, consolidating workloads and saving hardware costs. Running Linux In Virtual
Machines IBM z/VM offers the ability to run Linux in virtual machines on IBM System z. IT
needs to run Linux in virtual machines for enterprise computing. Linux in virtual images
is evolving rapidly. Data centers have to meet ever increasing demands with flat budgets.
IBM System z delivers a unique hybrid computing model.
IBM zEnterprise 196 allows data centers to optimize workload deployment on best fit
technologies with a common management infrastructure. It works for both mainframe and
distributed system resources. zLinux is positioned to drive down overall costs. This model
integrates data serving and analytics for actionable insight. IBM zEnterprise 196 is
positioned for use by the line of business. It enables fast and flexible delivery of new
services to drive innovation. z/VM works with open source operating systems, Linux, on the
mainframe. Within the z/VM environment, Linux images benefit from the ability to share
hardware and software resources and use internal high-speed communications.
According to Susan Eustis, "Customers consolidating on System z virtualized systems
are benefiting from the reliability, availability and serviceability of IBM System z
servers. z/VM offers platforms for consolidating select UNIX(TM), Windows(TM), and Linux
workloads on a single physical server."
Virtualization software for a cloud service market forecasts indicate that markets at
$5.8 billion in 2010 are anticipated to reach $16 billion by 2017.
