technologies and big data
are shifting IT environments
to a new era of computing
Clients: Clients view IT
differently: what they
value and how they
want to consume and
pay for it
Marketplace: Market
opportunities for ‘new era’
IT categories are growing
4x the traditional IT
market
Buyers/ Markets: IT and market
shifts reveal new IT buyers
(CMOs, City Mayors, MSPs) and
growth in new markets (GMU)

The changing IT landscape
Most disruptive IT innovation taking place today
is built on open technologies, driving a new era
of computing.
Emerging Linux workloads are becoming
business critical.
As an extension of core business processing,
emerging workloads must seamlessly integrate
and deliver enterprise class qualities of service.
Open Platform

Know what's cool?
$1 Billion
Power Systems intends to invest a billion dollars in solutions for
Linux and open source workloads, adding to prior investments by
IBM during the last decade on a wide range of open initiatives.
In addition, we’re expanding our Linux on Power development cloud,
which will give Linux developers who want to prototype applications
easy access to Power.
Finally, we’re opening a new Power Systems Linux Center in
Montpellier, France, joining a worldwide network of centers
dedicated to the success of Linux software developers on Power.

Power Systems QUICK COST Compare Tool
•
This tool can be used real-time,
interactively with a customer allowing
dynamic modifications to closely model
their proposed environments
•
Most clients have the impression that
Intel x86, Oracle T-Series, or even
EXADATA is less expensive than Power
systems
– PowerLinux server, virtualization and Linux
acquisition costs are near equivalent
– SW licensing on PowerLinux is generally
equivalent, workload performance is better
– Sustained virtualized utilization is higher
•
This tool will show that when you factor in
tangible costs and equalize realcustomer performance between Power
and all competitors
– Power systems TCA is lower where realworld sustained utilization is considered
– Power systems TCO will provide significant
savings over a 3-year analysis

Virtualizes selected systems – entry models, Linux-only
Extends Power virtualization to lightweight, x86-like solutions
Executes directly on hardware, not nested virtualization in an LPAR
Supports system “migration” to PowerVM via early boot-time selections

e) Runs without an HMC, IVM, or VIOS
f) Embraces opensource clouds and other virtualization SW through standard interfaces

PowerVM holds inherent advantages over VMware in all
aspects that clients value most
70
Client Needs
PowerVM
VMware vSphere 5
High Performance
Built-in hypervisor means all
industry-leading Power Systems
benchmarks are fully virtualized
Degrades x86 workload
performance significantly
compared to ‘bare metal’
Elastic Scalability
Scales linearly to support the most
demanding mission-critical
enterprise workloads
Imposes resource constraints
that limit virtualization to
small/medium workloads
Extreme Flexibility
Dynamically reallocates CPU,
memory, storage and I/O without
impacting workloads
Limited ‘hot-add’ only of CPU
and memory, with risk of
workload failures
Maximum Security
Embedded in Power Systems
firmware and protected by secure
access controls and encryption
Downloaded software exposes
more attack surfaces, with many
published vulnerabilities
Platform Integration
Designed and integrated with
industry-leading POWER processor
architecture for optimal
virtualization/cloud solutions
Third-party add-on software
utility, developed in isolation
from processor or systems

PowerLinux provides additional RAS features
Examples include:
 PCI bus error detection and recovery
– Implemented by EEH (Extended I/O Error Handling) on Power
•
In the kernel and device drivers; no userspace tools needed
– Autonomic detection and recovery for most errors
 Platform error logging and analysis
– Platforms provides the OS with notifications of failures (hardware failures,
firmware/hypervisor issues, etc.)
– These events are received and logged to servicelog.
– Certain failures also handled
73
•
Predictive CPU failures will cause the failing CPU to be taken offline (a.k.a.
CPU Gard)
•
EPOW (Environmental and Power events), such as a switch to UPS power, a
fan failure, or a thermal condition, may shut down the system
•
Platform dumps (FSP dumps, PHYP dumps, etc.) may be generated by the
platform for future analysis
