Notes:

Performance is in Internal Throughput Rate (ITR) ratio based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput that any user will experience will vary depending upon considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve throughput improvements equivalent to the performance ratios stated here.

IBM hardware products are manufactured from new parts, or new and serviceable used parts. Regardless, our warranty terms apply.

All customer examples cited or described in this presentation are presented as illustrations of the manner in which some customers have used IBM products and the results they may have achieved. Actual environmental costs and performance characteristics will vary depending on individual customer configurations and conditions.

xCAT History

Developed by IBM starting in 1999 to manage clusters of Linux and AIX systems.

Released to the Open Source community under the Eclipse Public License

Used to manage clusters such as



Roadrunner, the fastest computer in the world in 2008



Watson, the IBM machine that competed and won on Jeopardy

Today xCAT can manage physical or virtual machines, such as:

RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, SLES, AIX, Windows, VMWare, KVM, PowerVM, z/VM.

The z/VM Directory Manager

(DIRMAINT), or an equivalent,

provides a command driven interface to manage z/VM directory entries.

The z/VM Systems Management

Application Programming Interface (SMAPI) provides

programmatic access to DIRMAINT and z/VM system functions.

A Security Manager (such as

RACF) provides additional resource

protection beyond DIRMAINT and SMAPI authorizations. This is optional, but if it exists it must be configured to support this

architecture.

3

Virtual switches (VSWITCH)

provide network connectivity between the management components, to allow command driven requests to come from the z/VM platform or other network connected locations. They also provide the networks on which newly provisioned instances will be connected to.

Shared disks

Cross- system communications for “ single system image” management

■ Provided as an optional priced feature

■ Connect up to four z/VM systems as members of a Single System Image (SSI) cluster ■ Provides a set of shared resources for member systems and their hosted virtual machines ■ Cluster members can be run on the same or different System z servers

■ Simplifies systems management of a multi-z/VM environment

– Single user directory

– Cluster management from any member

• Apply maintenance to all members in the cluster from one location • Issue commands from one member

to operate on another

– Built-in cross-member capabilities – Resource coordination and

SMT support on IFL with z/VM 6.3



Simultaneous multithreading allows instructions from one or

two threads to execute on a zIIP or IFL processor core.



SMT helps to address memory latency, resulting in an overall

capacity* (throughput) improvement per core



Capacity improvement is variable depending on workload.



_{SMT exploitation: z/VM V6.3 + PTFs for IFLs and}

z/OS V2.1 + PTFs in an LPAR for zIIPs



_{SMT can be turned on or off on an LPAR by LPAR basis by}

operating system parameters. z/OS can also do this dynamically

with operator commands.

 Notes:

– SMT is designed to deliver better overall capacity (throughput) for many workloads. Thread performance (instruction execution rate for an individual thread) may be faster running in single thread mode. – Because SMT is not available for CPs, LSPR ratings do not include it

Security options, out of the box crypto acceleration

CPACF is available on all IFLs at no cost (through a Feature Code). For more demanding

workloads, Crypto Express cards can be used.

xDR extends GDPS to support not only z/OS but also Linux on System z.

 Primary disk error detection

 Mirroring problems detection in z/OS controlling system  Coordinated Hyperswap (planned or unplanned)  Integration with SSI and LGR

 Single point of control for managing z/VM, Linux on System z and z/OS.

 Same proven high availability characteristics for z/VM, Linux on System z and z/OS.  Coordinated disaster recovery across z/VM, Linux on System z and z/OS.

Virtualization

Do more with less

Deploy more servers, more networks, more applications, and more data Achieve nearly 100% utilization of system resources nearly 100% of the time Enjoy the highest levels of resource sharing, I/O bandwidth, and system availability Reduce costs on a bigger scale

Save on software license fees Consume less power and floor space

Minimize hardware needed for business continuance and disaster recovery Manage growth and complexity

Exploit extensive facilities for life cycle management: provisioning, monitoring, security, workload mgmt, capacity planning, charge back, patching, backup, recovery, etc.

Add hardware resources to an already-running system without disruption

Workload deployment on a “scale up” machine means fewer cables, fewer components to impede growth More flexibility, minimize lead time for new projects

Workload deployment to a single System z server offers significant advantages in terms of flexibility Rapid provisioning reduces lead time for new IT projects, helping to increase business agility

Clients run many workloads on Linux on z Systems

Why Cloud on z ? Infrastructure Matters

Solution Architectures for z Cloud

Cloud is transforming how service is delivered with efficiency and speed

z13 delivers a trusted and secure Cloud: Agile, fully virtualized private and

hybrid cloud computing now with Enterprise Grade Linux

z13 Transforms the economics of IT service delivery without the risk

32% lower TCO when consolidating the work of 50 or more cores from x86 or up to 60%

lower cost than public cloud alternatives

Affordability Attractive price performance. Offers the lowest TCA for Linux deployment of Oracle database _{workloads over competition - saving over half the cost}1_{. Lower costs through reduced complexity -} Simplified management, Reduced environmental costs, Greater flexibility to meet changing needs

Availability Near zero downtime/continuous availability, even during maintenance of hardware, OS, database

and application components. Enhanced disaster recovery responsiveness.

Efficiency Reduced infrastructure complexity through consolidation, automation and virtualization, saving on _{energy, labor, software, and more. Management of the end to end applications, fast private} network, fewer hops and points of failure. High resource utilization.

Integration Capability to handle the largest volumes of data, in a day and age when data is booming. Tight _{integration and simpler management of data and applications on one system. Low latency.} Homogeneous system environment.

Scalability Flexibility and near-linear large scalability, unmatched in the IT world, to grow with your business. Superior virtualization. Unprecedented scale.
