Bursting to the IBM SmartCloud

Creating a truly elastic data center that is flexible enough to dynamically expand compute resources based on planned or unplanned requirements has many real world applications. Peak demands driving end of month or quarter batch processing is a common enterprise computing challenge. Other opportunities include situations where the need for resources is not as easily predicted such as test / development deadlines, e-commerce, ticketing or social media. Whatever the application, the need for more and more agile infrastructures to facilitate the intelligent use of the cloud will become a necessity.

By leveraging the F5 BIG-IP LTM and on-demand resources from the IBM SmartCloud Enterprise, customers can scale and adjust their services based on need, and dramatically reduce costs at the same time. IBM and F5 provides an agile and flexible architecture that can make the most of what the enterprise is utilizing today, as well as embrace connectivity to the IBM Smart Cloud.
