Forrester IDC Forrester

 “As containers became popular, developers
realized that containers had to be modified to
be stateful, since most enterprise applications
need to retain some state. Enterprises want to
run stateful workloads and other Big Data and
AI/ML applications on Kubernetes.

However, running these applications on

containers require that they also have data
services that provide volume management,
protection (backup and replication),
availability, security, and so forth.”

- IDC, Sept 2019

The what and why of containers

Good Better

Virtual Machines
vs Containers
Reducing operational and
Orchestrator
development costs

VMs virtualize the hardware

Containers virtualize the process

Containers can be 2x to 3x
more resource efficient than
virtual machines
Each VM has its own OS Containers share the
OS same based Kernel
Containers, Microservices, and Orchestration
Fundamental to your cloud evolution
Improves resource utilization
No more over-provisioning
Isolates discrete processes to speed up workflows
Spin up in microseconds
Improves time to market and new profits
Utilize open source
• Container Storage Interface (CSI)
• Managed by Kubernetes

We have seen this movie before!
IT Challenges since the dawn of time
• Responsiveness to the LOB
• Data availability / access / veracity (quality)
• Corporate governance / compliance / oversite
Which can cause:
• Data Isolation
• Application disconnection
• Loss of visibility / control
• Security risks
This leads to Shadow IT!

Why IBM Storage for Red Hat OpenShift and Cloud Paks

A complete infrastructure Simple scalable deployments

foundation Organizations can simply deploy data resources,
Choose the data resources you need when you scaling up or down without impact to their business
need them...block, file or object, and as your
needs change deploy new data resources

IBM certified with Kubernetes Quickly deploy persistent data

and Red Hat OpenShift resources as storage classes
Ongoing security, compliance and Provision persistent storage as a data resource
version compatibility based on classes of storage

Build new applications Speed up container

with modern process storage provisioning
Helps enterprises transform and move to the Supports Container Storage Interface (CSI),
cloud by enabling them to build new applications simplifying management and reducing costs
