On ‘Cloud Nine’ Through Architecture

By: Mahesh Dodani

Abstract

The IBM Tivoli Development Services (TDS) organization provides IT services for Tivoli and other organizations in IBM Software Group in the form of lab services, host services, build/390 services, and virtual resource services to enable the software development cycle. The TDS organization faced several key business challenges. First, the organization had 24 development labs spread across the globe with minimal virtualization, resulting in much higher capital expense, management and administration costs, and less than optimal efficiency because of limited ability to reuse and share IT resources and best practices.
