At the IBM Cloud Forum in San Francisco on April 7 — out came the Tivoli-Cast Iron Hybrid Cloud Solution, another IBM solution that leverages Cast Iron capabilities. IBM Director of Cloud Computing and Client Engagement Bowman Hall detailed the service in afternoon presentation before the media.

“The question for IBM is ‘what do we need to do as an IT department to deliver services through a cloud environment?'” The answer, said Hall, lies in developing a cloud infrastructure that offers image management, security, isolation, heat and power management to help control energy consumption, and service automation management to help interpret, execute and build management plans. The Tivoli-Cast Iron cloud solution includes a monitoring system that lets clients view their cloud infrastructure, has a single point of control and a workload governance capability that lets clients react dynamically to system workload changes.
