1 to 18 Business Value of the Mainframe Jim Elliott Advocate Linux, Open Source, and Virtualization and Manager System z Operating Systems IBM Canada Ltd. 1 International zseries Oracle SIG to IBM Corporation Mainframe headlines IBM Touts Security of New Mainframe IBM has done a remarkable job of renewing the mainframe IBM announces mainframe virtual-tape offering The mainframe is heading towards a much larger potential market IBM offers new mainframe software 2 International zseries Oracle SIG to 18 International zseries Oracle SIG 1

2 to 18 If a client were starting from scratch What do clients require in an on-demand, 24x7, alwayson world? Nearly unlimited scalability Ability to run mixed workloads together Highly automated Comprehensive security 3 International zseries Oracle SIG to 18 Reports of the death of the mainframe were premature I predict that the last mainframe will be unplugged on March 15, Stewart Alsop, March 1991 It s clear that corporate customers still like to have centrally controlled, very predictable, reliable computing systems exactly the kind of systems that IBM specializes in.

3 to 18 Mainframes still dominate top enterprises Some key mainframe facts 95 % of the Fortune 1000 enterprises use IMS Originally written in 1968 to support NASA s Apollo program 25 of the world s top 25 Banks, 23 of the top 25 US Retailers, and nine out of 10 of the world s largest insurance companies run DB2 on System z 490 of IBM s top 500 customers run CICS IBM s CICS handles more than 30 billion transactions a day IBM has 50,000 CICS customer licenses, and 16,000 customers There are more than 950,000 CICS application programmers More than 359 ISVs sell over 972 Linux applications on System z 5 International zseries Oracle SIG to 18 Enabling growth through innovation that matters IBM S/390 9 Late 90s to TODAY Built upon Open and Industry standards Infrastructure Simplification IT Modernization and transformation Integration and interoperation Extending management and control capabilities across your infrastructure Delivering ongoing improvements in availability, security, manageability, virtualization, scalability, multiple workload support, resource utilization, energy efficiency 6 International zseries Oracle SIG to 18 International zseries Oracle SIG 3

4 to 18 The IBM mainframe Designed to deliver the processing power business needs A rich history of innovation and refinement 40+ years of continuous innovation What do mainframes do these days? Support multiple, diverse workloads concurrently Transaction processing / Batch / Web serving / ERP / CRM / Linux Who uses mainframes? Financial institutions Municipal, state/provincial, and federal governments Retailers Manufacturing Capacity shipped International zseries Oracle SIG to 18 What makes a mainframe special? Legendary dependability Can I count on a mainframe? Less than 5 minutes downtime a year How do mainframes do this? Hardware, software, storage, and network designed for maximum application availability How can mainframes help you cope with planned and unplanned outages? Unique mainframe clustering technology for maximum up-time Resilient recovery in multiple locations Replicate data real-time at remote locations and switch to replicated data without application outage 8 International zseries Oracle SIG to 18 International zseries Oracle SIG 4

5 to 18 How do you manage a mainframe? Big function doesn t mean big staff Hardware / Software-based systems management that aligns system resources with business priorities System responds automatically to assigned policy Management functions for centralized Linux environments Use your mainframe as a hub to manage servers / subsystems in your IT infrastructure Enterprise management software solutions available from IBM and other vendors Accurate and comprehensive charge-back information Mainframe skills IBM Academic Initiative Plentiful Linux and Java skills available ISV solutions available Provisioning, management, and more 9 International zseries Oracle SIG to 18 How do you control management costs? Centralize workloads onto highly utilized mainframes Do you recognize this description? Thousands of lightly loaded servers Hundreds of application instances IT everywhere across the business Physically Logically Thousands of distributed control points The Result: Massive complexity Spiraling people costs Compounded by the inability to allocate IT costs to the business Lack of internal costing methodologies Cost of People vs. Spending on New Systems $200 $180 $160 $140 $120 $100 $80 $60 $40 $20 $ Server spending (USM$) Cost of mgmt.

6 to 18 How do you protect sensitive data? Mainframes deliver security Protect the data End-to-end protection that helps keep data uncorrupted and uncompromised Prevent unauthorized access IBM and ISV access control solutions Support for a variety of encryption algorithms EAL5 and other security certifications Secure and speed the transaction Specialized Cryptographic co-processor hardware Monitor, manage, and control Centralized access and control helps lower security costs, meet compliance guidelines, and simplify audit trail. Compliance with privacy/security legislation Auditability Control Recoverability ISV solutions available 11 International zseries Oracle SIG to 18 Can you outgrow a mainframe? Here s how to grow up and out, all with the same server Adding capacity to a mainframe, or scaling up Add new processors on the fly with Capacity Upgrade on Demand User initiated - does not require on-site service Add processing power economically for specific workloads Adding more servers to a mainframe, or scaling out platforms can support up to hundreds of virtual servers concurrently Pay for capacity when you use it On/Off Capacity on Demand lets you tailor processor capacity to daily business needs 12 International zseries Oracle SIG to 18 International zseries Oracle SIG 6

7 to 18 Can virtualization simplify my IT infrastructure? Mainframes the leader in virtualization function Share processor, memory, I/O, and network among multiple operating environments Isolate workloads with EAL5 level security Share resources among workloads Enable communication for workloads internally with an in-memory TCP/IP network 40 year history of virtualization, innovation and refinement Hardware and software based for optimum performance and flexibility Robust suite of function for creating, provisioning, deploying, and managing virtual servers z/vm Virtualization to simplify your IT infrastructure Support up to hundreds of concurrent applications with z/vm Management tools for operation, maintenance, and accounting 13 International zseries Oracle SIG to 18 The Mainframe Charter Providing a strategic framework Innovation Provide leadership in innovation to enhance the use of the IBM mainframe to support increasingly integrated and flexible business processes for the on demand business. Value Enhance the value proposition and lower the cost of computing of mainframe solutions in a way that is compelling, clear, and consistent. 14 International zseries Oracle SIG to 18 Community Support programs designed to foster vitality in the IBM mainframe community, helping to promote a strong application portfolio and world-class support services.

8 to 18 Energy efficiency Currently, power and cooling costs consume percent of most operational budgets. Left unchecked, the costs related to power and cooling will be more than costs of purchasing the equipment being run. it is only a matter of time before IT and facilities managers are in a situation where they cannot cool the systems they have, and must make difficult decisions on new facilities, or restricting the growth of new business. Jerald Murphy, Senior Vice President, Director of Research, Robert Frances Group.
