IBM Software Group – Integrating Open Source

Agenda

Part 1  Understanding the Open Source Ecosystem

 Customer benefits and challenges of Open Source

Part 2  IBM and Open Source

 How to integrate Open Source into your business

© 2008 IBM Corporation 2


Open Source is part of Open Computing
 Open standards Open Computing
Improving information sharing by simplifying
integration of disparate technologies Open
Promoting interoperability by using open standards
published specifications
 Open architecture
Increasing collaboration by easily extending Community
business processes – eg SOA
Innovating on top of common specifications Innovation
 Open source Open Open
 Promoting innovation by leveraging architecture source
community development
Accelerating open standards adoption



Open Standards
 What is Open?
Lots of definitions - from published, proprietary interfaces to open source
What is a meaningful gauge?
 Broad adoption (multiple vendor implementations – especially by the vendors you and
your partners buy products from)
 Public interfaces/public input
 Path to long term Stewardship (official standards body, effective open source
community,…)
 Customer Benefits
Choice - The choice I make today doesn’t limit the choices I can make in the future
Flexibility - I can connect to internal departments and external partners that made
different technology choices
Speed - I can build new solutions that involve multiple hardware and software
platforms quickly
Speed - I can adjust to changing business parameters (new opportunities, new
partners, new employees) quickly
Skills - I can find skilled resources that understand these solutions


What is Open Source ?
 A licensing approach
Defines access to source code
Conforms to one of the “Open Source Initiative” licenses
Prioritises rights of users
 A development methodology
Community approach to developing software
Meritocracy of developers
Peer review
 A community of users, developers and partners
Open participation



Community Innovation is key to Open Source

 Community-driven approach to problem
solving
 People working across geographical and
organizational boundaries to confront
today's most pressing challenges
 Enabled by:
 Open standards
 New intellectual property practices
 The Internet and collaborative tools
 It unites perspectives from a host of
disciplines to:
 Rapidly solve business issues
 Accelerate technological advancements
 Stimulate economic growth
 Enable new business models



Examples of Open Source projects
 Apache
 Web Server
 Community initiated (apache.org)

 Linux
 Operating System kernel
 Individual initiated (Linus Torvalds)

 Eclipse
 Universal Integration platform
 IT Vendor initiated (IBM and others)

 Mozilla
 Browser and client technology
 Hybrid (Netscape + community)

 Xen
 Virtualization hypervisor technology
 University initiated (Cambridge)


Why is Open Source important ?
 Can be a major source of innovation
 Collaboration combines resources across IT vendors, universities and individuals
 Internet has enabled distributed collaboration and early user feedback

 OSS is a good approach for driving emerging open standards
 Popular open source projects can become the common implementations

 Customers can benefit
 Increased choice and flexibility
 Lower costs

 Can present new business opportunities



Agenda

 Low acquisition cost  with commercial software

 Frictionless access to software  Skills
 Light weight and easy to use
 Rapid prototyping  Availability of applications
 Quality of software
 Peer review of source code  Maturity
 Broad community testing  Enterprise requirements gap (Functionality,
 Fast cycle time of releases and bug fixes Performance, Scalability, Security)
 Reliability and security  Community / Industry support
 Sustainability of business model
 Community innovation
 Opportunity for interaction with developers  Too many choices
 Open user community support and features
 Harvest commoditized components and
use freed-up resources for innovation

Customers use both Open Source and Private Source

Private Source
Creating software that is private source and
innovative - intended to differentiate the
vendor and deliver value to the client.

Creating, maintaining, and enhancing
software through open, collaborative
communities driving evolution of
Open Source standards and innovation.

The Industry is Seeking a New Equilibrium

Agenda







Sam Palmisano on Open Source

 “Open source is a method of tapping a community of experts to
develop useful things. It began in software, but applies broadly, and
is anything but anti-capitalist.”
 “It can raise quality at reduced costs, and vastly expands
opportunities for profit. In a sense, open source fuels innovation much
the way science fuels technology. Science is created by communities
of experts, whose fundamental discoveries are typically made
available to all, including individuals and companies that are able to
capitalize on the new knowledge in novel ways.”
 “For IBM, the open-source model is familiar territory, given our long
track record in the sciences.”

Agenda







Key Customer IT Questions and Open Source
How can IT help our business succeed ?
Solve our problems today
Grow in the future
Integrate across and outside the company
Respond quickly to opportunities and threats

How can we improve our IT infrastructure ?
Better – more reliable, more secure
Faster – better price/performance
Lower cost – more efficient, lower TCO
More flexible – easier to integrate

Should we use Open Source software ?
When / Where / How ?
Open Source / Commercial / Mixture ?
Who from / Who supports / Who integrates ?
How much will it cost / TCO / ROI ?



Integrating Open Source into your IT strategy
 Insist on Open Standards
 Increases flexibility and responsiveness
 Evaluate Open Source and Commercial software options
 Most customers are using a mixture of open source and private source
 Don’t build a separate strategy – interoperability / migration considerations are important
 Balance up-front costs against recurring costs
 Evaluate Community and Maturity of Open Source before committing
 Open, robust communities and broad industry support are important
 Sustainable business models are critical
 Healthy ecosystem of ISVs and Business Partners is required
 Establish policies for working with Open Source software
 Educate company teams about OSS before they work with it
