CloudReduce and Rationalize IT Capital Expenses Cloud resources are available on demand. Only pay for what you use. Focus on being an education and research institute not a data center Switch from capital expense to operating expense. Easier to reconcile and manage resources shared by multiple departments[HPC] ComputeStorageNetworkingDevOps PlatformMarketplaceRobust AnalyticsInsights & DiscoveryCognitive ComputingMachine LearningNLPIncrease Agility Self serve resources make it easier for departments and individuals to get whatthey need when they need it Fuel innovation by lowering the barrier of entry for exploratory computing Dynamic and elastic resources enable you to response and adapt fasterAnalyticsConnect anytime,anywhereHold a supercomputer in thepalm of your handMobileLearn the way you playAdaptive LearningVideo CapabilitiesSocial CollaborationSocialProtectStudent infoHR recordsResearch dataSecurityCollaborate and Share Services Connect with other R&E institutions to exchange ideas, collaborate onresearch, share innovations and reuse IT assets Aggregate demand to shape technology and spread out costExpand Reach -- Global Campus Pursue international teaching and research partnerships Deliver services to faculty, students and unconstrained by geographicalboundaries.Augment Education Delivery -- “Education-as-a-Service” Deliver self paced, self service education Reach/teach more students (e.g. working professionals, those off campus) Leverage digital learning content (e.g. video, simulations, etc) Disrupt traditional paradigms with new methods (e.g. flipped class, MooCsEquip, Enable and Engage Students Personalized and adaptive learning Provide hands-on experience with the latest technologies Grow skills that are in demand Expose students to real world challenges and use cases

VCL on SoftLayerVCL supports the provisioning and/or reservation of several different types of computeresources including: physical bare-metal machines, virtual machines hosted on severaldifferent hypervisors, and traditional computing lab resources you would normally find on auniversity campus. Most with ready to use software setups.SoftLayer will offer VCL services allowing universities to burst into the cloud for basic VMs,HPC clusters, high end software and more.Two consumption models for SoftLayer Use existing VCL solution to provision additional computing resources on SoftLayer Host your entire VCL environment within SoftLayer (and still connect to on campus labs)10 2015 IBM Corporation
