Software Bundle
• A software bundle contains and describes the software available for use within a virtual image. It
includes information about how to install and configure the software, prerequisites of the software,
and parameters available for customizing.
A software bundle is used during image creation with Image Construction and Composition
Tool (ICCT, Part of SCP/SCO)
Virtual Image
• A Virtual image contains the base operating system and the optional activation code which
configures a virtual server which is based on such virtual image.
In addition it may also contain one or more software components.
Pattern (vSys & addOns)
• A pattern is a collection of multiple images, each with optional software components.
Patterns are a logical representation of a recurring topology for a given set of deployment
requirements such as e.g. a multi-tiered web application comprising of HTTP Server, App Server
and DB Server.
In this example, each tier would be represented by its own virtual image, which includes
configuration scripts to configure the multi-tier application accordingly
Resource type operations (implemented as BPM workflows)
Patterns (vApp & TOSCA)
• Patterns to compose workload aware topologies
Workload aware placement,
optimization and operation
Orchestration
• Content for orchestration can be complete ready to use processes with user interface and/or a
collection of building blocks to ease the creation of orchestration.
These building blocks can be activity implementations, user interfaces, UI widget, …

SmartCloud Orchestrator Value Proposition


SmartCloud Provisioning and SmartCloud Orchestrator are open, flexible, cloud platforms that enable
business agility and IT cost reduction by providing end to end automation across heterogeneous clouds.
SmartCloud Orchestrator also includes an automated way of integrating the cloud with your data center
policies, processes, and infrastructures across various IT domains, such as storage, backup, network,
monitoring, security and change and configuration
Motivation
For Business Partners:
• ISVs can provide integration content that supports their infrastructure and workload solutions, hence
expanding their business to a new customer set
• System Integrators can provide content on the marketplace as a starting point for engaging in deeper
services engagement
• BPs, in general, have an opportunity to reach a broader customer base with their entry offering for future
upsell to a broader solution
For clients:
• Fully automate cloud service delivery for both across environments, with one platform.
• Enable an incremental adoption of cloud capabilities, with the ability to apply content from the
marketplace to expand
For IBM:
• Ability to leverage our extensive Partner network to cover an even broader customer base
• Expecting hundreds of customers over next year. Today we have more than 200 ISDM/TSAM customers

Manage your application images in VMs with rich image lifecycle
management and analytics
• Image construction and composition tool simplifies complex and time consuming
process of creating virtual images and deployment patterns through a simple
graphical tool
• Federated image library allows management of image complexity across multiple
image repositories and hypervisors
• Detect vulnerabilities exposures in images to ensure that no virtual machines are
created without the proper level of security patches
• Images stored in hypervisor-neutral format, avoiding duplication and allowing
conversion to mix/match hypervisor technologies
