Let’s talk about what the product is. As I mentioned, it’s a system of systems. And what we - what that does for our clients is it helps unify IT across a heterogeneous environment to produce predictable service delivery models as three main components. On the left the z Enterprise 196, the world’s fastest server. It’s ideal for large data and transaction serving in mission critical applications just as Z has always been. But even more so with the performance and scalability of this platform and additional enhancements such as the new release z/OS, z/OS 1.12. It’s also the lowest cost platform for large scale Linux consolidation. And finally, it’s capable of massive scale. Over 50 billion instructions per second if you want to calculated. It’s interesting, we now are kind of switching from talking from mps, now we’re going to be talking about bps. It’s a truly massive scale. The next stage of this is something we call the unified resource management. And this really is the secret sauce. It allows us to integrate workloads running on different platforms. Now those platforms could be z/OS, they can be Linux on System z, they can be IBM Blade, specifically Power 7and System X Blades for more scale out applications. The unified resource manager gives us a way to integrate the management of the workload platforms and hardware and produce the kind of workload management normally only available in a z/OS environment. By moving the z/OS capabilities for workload management into the Firmware we’re able to provide that workload management to improve application availability and our clients’ ability to meet service level in a z/OS, a Linux on Z and a heterogeneous environment with Power 7 and X86. Really unifying that management is the key concept here. And on the right you see the chassis that allows us then to plug those into a System z environment. It’s based on the IBM Blade Center and it is an extension to the System z. It’s shipped from the factory, configured and tested with private data and management networks for high speed low (unintelligible) communication between the Blade environment on the right and the System z Enterprise on the left. It includes both general purpose Blades based on Power 7 and X86 and specific optimizers that accelerate time to insight and reduced costs. Now I will tell you to make a comment here on availability without specific dates. The system on the left, the Enterprise 196 that will GA later this summer. The extension of that with the IBM zEnterprise BladeCenter Extension (zBX) will occur in the fourth quarter of this year with Power 7 and the optimizers. And in 2011 for the inclusion of X86 applications and Blades in that environment. So it’ll be a phased environment. And that’s actually what our clients are looking for because they really want to be able to get the new System z installed and then start extending that out to their integrated environment. Let’s talk about the z - the Enterprise 196. Why do we call it a 196?
According to the CIO study conducted by IBM, interviewing 2500 CIOs in 75 countries: “ 76% of CIOs cited “implementing a virtualized computing environment” as part of their visionary plans to enhance competitiveness” [Click] Let’s learn how System z delivers better virtualization than any other platform Virtualization is architected into the system, not an “add on” feature. In fact, virtualization was pioneered by IBM on the MF over 40 years ago [Click] There is support in the hardware, with 10% of the circuits dedicated for virtualization There 2 levels of hypervisor capabilities: one at the firmware level, by PR/SM 2 , and the second at the software level via zVM Each server can be partitioned into 60 logical partitions, called LPARs, with each LPAR behaving just like a single, physically separate, mainframe And each LPAR can be further virtualized into 100s of virtual servers, all with the ability to share memory, processors and other resources, physically or virtually Note that PR/SM also has EAL5 certification, that provides assurances that many different applications running in different operating environments in different logical partitions on one z10 BC will be secure and distinct from each other. [Click] System z Deploy virtual servers in seconds, Deploying single virtual server on the newest System z server is estimated to cost just US$1K over 3 years 1 Add physical resources without taking the system down: scale out to 100s or 1000s of virtual servers inside one machine Do more with less: host more virtual servers per core and share more physical resources across all the virtual servers There is a Policy-driven workload management Extensive built-in facilities provide life-cycle management: provisioning, monitoring, security, charge-back, backup, more… zEnterprise Unified Resource Manager can manage 10x the number of virtual machines than VMWare. 3 The potential performance impact of the Linux server farm spawned from one Logical Partition is isolated from the other LPARs [Click] Distributed environment Average 10-20% utilization per server Limited per-core virtual server scalability Physical server sprawl is needed to scale Operational complexity increases as virtual server images grow VMWare, Xen, Virtual Iron focus only on x86 environments and not on cross platform hardware management. Rest is additional info: Customer Pain Points – addressed by z virtualization Underutilized IT assets Escalating energy and space costs Linear software costs per server image Staff inefficiencies managing multiple real servers Spiraling people costs Footnotes : Claims doc July 20, 2010 1 Linux for System z virtual servers can be (on z196 server): • Less than $1000 for 3 years • Less than $335 per year • Less than $1 per day IBM Study: US Enterprise Linux Server pricing, pricing may vary by country. Based on zEnterprise ELS configured with 64 IFL cores running a mixed workload averaging 47 virtual machines per core with varying degrees of activity. Includes zEnterprise hardware and z/VM virtualization software. Does not include Linux OS or middleware software. 2 PR/SM = Processor Resource/Systems Manager Evaluation Assurance Level 5 certification of IBM Processor Resource/Systems Manager (PR/SM) logical partition (LPAR) for the IBM System z10 Business Class (z10 BC) server was received on May 5, 2009. EAL5 certification provides assurances that many different applications running in different operating environments in different logical partitions on one z10 BC will be secure and distinct from each other.

Based on IBM internal studies and customer case studies, consolidating workloads of distributed servers into a single z server can deliver: Up to 80% reduction in energy consumption 1 Up to 90% reduction in floor space usage 2 Up to 90% reduction in software license costs 3 The financial impact of consolidation onto System z can be substantial, with savings of up to 70 percent in total cost of ownership compared to distributed platforms. 4 Actual savings may vary by customer Footnotes and source notes: Claims doc – July 20, 2010 1 Reduce labor, energy , and development costs, by up to 70%, 80%, and 20% (respectively) when consolidating workloads to Linux on System z. 2 Reduce floor space by up to 90% 3 Up to 90% reduction in SW costs when consolidating distributed Oracle licenses on to Linux on System z. 1,2,3 IBM Internal Study based on Oracle SW with Nehalem 4 core running 25% utilization, consolidating databases on z196 Deployment configurations based on IBM studies and will vary based on workload characteristics. Price calculations based on publicly available US list prices, prices will vary by country. Distributed server comparison is based on IBM cost modeling of Linux on zEnterprise vs. alternative distributed servers. Given there are multiple factors in this analysis such as utilization rates, application type and local pricing, etc. savings may vary by customer. 4 ECM ‘Big Green’ Project - IBM Case: consolidate 292 Sun servers to Linux on System z10 and save 95% on power and cooling, and 97% on floor space reduction. 2, 3 (1) p16 – p18 …. not used here, but added to illustrate that cases will vary depending on conditions at customer.
Let’s go deeper into the System z to explain how it can deliver scalability, and green savings better than distributed platforms A System z server can be run up to 100% utilization compared to an average of 10-20% utilization for distributed servers It is architected and designed to share resources for maximum utilization across multiple applications Yes, you can run multiple applications, of mixed workloads, OLTP, web, data serving, on a single z server By contrast, you typically run a single app on one server in the distributed environment This sharing of resources - includes the processors, memory, network, adapters, cryptography All of which contributes to a lower power consumption per unit of work and hence contribute to significant customer savings
Press release: http://blogs.eweek.com/ibm-oracle/content/business_intelligence_/system_z_proving_to_be_a_big_catch_for_fishermen.html Fish Market Fishermen can use a "touch screen" installed on their boats to describe which kind of fish they are catching. If that fish is in demand by the market, the solution starts an electronic auction. If the bid price is below certain level the fish sale is redirected to non-profit company, e.g. soup kitchen. If the price is above the level, the solution automatically specifies the quantity to be distributed into boxes ready for shipping and distribution upon arrival. Solution is available on the zCloud for use by different fish markets (distributed on territory). Wine market Winemakers at up to 60 cooperative wineries are able to determine market demand for various types of wines by accessing the cloud computing-based systems, then package and ship wines demanding the highest price. MoniCA: Monitoraggio e Controllo Adattivo Logistics solution that tracks and collects data in real time from trucks (e.g. temperature, humidity, shocks and routes). Solution will be available on the zCloud to serve different logistics companies.
