IBM is empowering clients to deploy and manage their SOA foundation in cloud computing environments to realize the economic and technological advantages. IBM Workload Deployer is a proven hardware appliance that provides access to software virtual images and patterns that can be used as is or easily customized, and then securely deployed, managed and maintained in a private cloud. Workload Deployer works seamlessly with IBM WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition, a new version of IBM WebSphere Application Server software optimized to run in virtualized hardware server environments including IBM zVM, IBM PowerVM on AIX and VMware ESX. Together, they enable organizations to easily, quickly, and repeatedly create application environments that can be published and managed in a private cloud.

| Broader virtual application platform support through application deployment on AIX/PowerVM | Availability of new WebSphere Process Server Hypervisor Edition image Availability of new WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition - Intelligent Management Pack Capability to use multiple virtual images in a single pattern Dynamically add and remove virtual machines Enhanced license management capability |
| Virtual application pattern third party software support through embedded Plugin Development Kit (PDK) | Support for workload patterns |
| Support for custom images created by IBM Image Construction and Composition tool, as part of virtual system pattern | IBM Web Application Pattern |
| Broader programming model support with JEE 6, OSGi, JPA, and other WebSphere Application Server v8 supported models | IBM Workload Deployer Pattern for Database Applications |
| Added appliance failover capability for enhanced resiliency | Automated elasticity of topology patterns |
Workload Deployer is targeted for private or on-premise cloud computing environments. It can also be used by service providers providing hosted public clouds and software-as-a-service environments to simplify and standardize repeated deployments.
The successor to the first hardware appliance of its kind (WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance), Workload Deployer stores and secures WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition images and patterns to be published into a cloud, which helps clients more easily and quickly develop, test and deploy business applications, ending the use of manual, complex or time-intensive processes associated with creating application environments. Once finished, resources are automatically returned to the shared resource pool and logged for internal charge-back purposes. Workload Deployer also manages individual user and group access, giving IT managers the right kind of access controls with optimal efficiency rates.
It incorporates more than 10 years of management best practices for cost-effective, rapid, and repeatable application deployment and fully integrates with development and service management tools from IBM Rational and Tivoli brands for a seamless end-to-end process.
Lower hardware, power, and cooling costs by utilizing shared virtualized infrastructure and driving higher hardware utilization rates in a private cloud
Streamlines resources and time dedicated to IBM middleware environment configuration and administration
Pre-loaded with WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition virtual images, the new Web Application Pattern, DB2 patterns and Hypervisor virtual images, and common solution topologies for quick-starts.
Provides a self-service virtual system management console that sets up and tears down deployed environments based on user-input times
Simplifies environment setup with the click of a button, with running systems available within minutes
Frees developers to remain focused on application enhancements
Supports virtual image customization to include binaries for monitors and corporate governance agents
Drag & drop tooling for assembling virtual images, scripts, and topologies into customized patterns
Drag & drop tooling for creating and deploying virtual applications without worrying about the underlying middleware or virtual images
Publish only best practice, accepted solution topologies for end user deployment
Enhance repeatability and lower the potential for costly errors by customizing environments once, then capturing those exact configurations to be redeployed with the click of a button.
"Lock" images, patterns, and even specific parameters (eg, memory size = 1024) to ensure identical, repeated deployments
Simplified maintenance and management: apply updates to images and patterns once and republish for broader user access
Intelligent placement algorithms optimize resource utilization based on cloud activity.
Tracks and reports usage statistics based on user and groups utilizing virtual images and patterns. Management reports can be used for internal chargeback purposes.
REST APIs allow for standards-based integration into existing data center management software, including Tivoli
Provides an enhanced level of dynamics through service-policy-based management, allowing for the enforcement of health policies and response time goals, in addition to managing the rollout of new application versions.
An appliance serves as an encrypted vault where images, patterns, and permissions are stored.
An appliance has a self-disabling switch which is triggered if the appliance cover is removed.
The Workload Deployer provides granular access controls, allowing administrators to restrict visibility, pattern creation privileges, and deployment rights to individuals and groups.
The Workload Deployer integrates with existing LDAP directories to tie into existing access control lists.
Passwords for virtual systems deployed are set at the time of deployment, guaranteeing root access only to credentialed parties.

System Requirements
Purpose:
Use this set of prerequisites to plan for installation, configuration and use of Workload Deployer.
Information required:
You need to collect the following data to define your Workload Deployer base configuration.
The IP address and subnet mask for the Ethernet interface for appliance management access
The IP address of the default gateways (routers) that supports the subnets for the Ethernet interfaces
Best Practice:
Use the remaining three Ethernet interfaces to handle data traffic to and from the various hypervisors.
Optional:
The IP addresses and subnet mask for Ethernet interfaces for appliance service access (MGT0, MGT1, ETH0, ETH1, thru ETH8) MGMT Ethernet interface on a dedicated subnet for all network- and system-wide management functions. This dedicated subnet would handle network traffic for Web Management (WebGUI) functions.
Setup and physical installation perquisites:
You need to collect the following data to configure your Workload Deployer environment.
The Workload Deployer is a 2U rack-mountable network appliance. You can install the appliance in an EIA-310-D 48.3-cm (19-in) rack with at least 71.1 cm (28 in.) of depth. When planning the installation, keep the following in mind:
The rack must provide rear mounting columns. The appliance requires both front and rear mounting support.
There must be at least 30 inches (76.20 cm) of free space behind the rack frame to remove replaceable parts.
The ambient temperature in the operating environment and within the rack should not exceed 104° F (40° C).
Leave at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) above and below the appliance to provide adequate ventilation and to assist in appliance maintenance.
The rack must provide sufficient free space in the front for the Ethernet cables and any serial console cable.
You will need the following tools, hardware, and cables to install the Workload Deployer rack-mounting kit:
- A medium Phillips screwdriver
- Two (2) standard rack screws
You will need the following cables to connect the Workload Deployer to your network: At least one (1), but up to ten (10), network cables.
To perform the initial configuration, you must use a serial connection. The serial connection must be between an ASCII terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software to the serial port on the appliance. To make this connection, use the provided DB-9 null-modem cable. Note: If the terminal or PC is not equipped with a serial port, use a USB-to-serial converter cable.
