  1. Why IBM i and PureFlex?IBM i Designed for Business

  2. Applications Performance Management Storage Management Systems Management Security Web Server Relational Database File system Operating System Virtualization Hardware The Solution Stack – Who’s Responsibility Is It?Installation, integration, test, change management, support … Typical Windows, Unixor Linux environment IBM i environment Vendors Vendors 2 10 9 8 The burdenof responsibilityfalls more onthe client,adding costand complexity The burdenof responsibilityfalls more onthe vendor,reducing costand complexity 7 1 6 5 4 3 2 1

  3. Integration – Real, Serious IntegrationAs contrasted with the simple pre-packaging of shrink-wrapped components More … • … comprehensively designed • … built-in functionality • … thoroughly tested • … easily managed • … platform stability • … IT staff productivity • … ROI The IBM i operating environment includes operating system and middleware components that are designed, developed, built, tested, delivered and supported as one

  4. Integration = Faster Time to Value When it’s time for a new car, what do you look for? Piece parts Integration Why should you expect any less from your ITthan you do from your car dealer?

  5. Integration – Real, Serious IntegrationAs contrasted with the simple pre-packaging of shrink-wrapped components More … • … comprehensively designed • … built-in functionality • … thoroughly tested • … easily managed • … platform stability • … IT staff productivity • … ROI

  7. APP Test APP Dev Prd2 DB #1 PR1 DB #2 Technical Architecture & Terminology • Consolidation and Virtualization • Dynamic Processor Movement • Workload balancing in real time, seamless for the application • Shared Uncapped Processors • Multiple shared Processor Pools Shared Processing pool #2 Shared Processing pool #1 CPU Cycles

  8. In IBM i, all storage is viewed as one large, contiguous, addressable space Storage management is integrated Object/data placement is balancedbased on the performance, capacityand type of storage devices Storage may be dynamically and automatically rebalanced based onusage patterns Support for storage innovations, such asSolid State Drives, can be integrated intostorage management algorithms quickly IBM i clients typically do not requirestorage administrators Automated storage management simplifies operations and reduces costs Single Level Storage = Built-in Storage Management Objects are stored/retrieved by namewithout regard to physical location, minimizing the need for administrators to manage storage infrastructure.

  11. Cluster, Device domain IBM i IBM i VIOS VIOS PowerHA session for FlashCopy IASP FlashCopy Copy desc Copy desc Setup for FlashCopyon V7000 • Create cluster • Create device domain on both nodes • Create IASP and vary it on • Create administartve domain (optional) • Generate SSH keys and transfer them to V7000 • Create IASP copy description on DR IBM i • Create copy descriptions

  12. PowerHA SystemMirror for i – Storage-based ClusteringFor when platform reliability alone is not sufficient Multi-site: Campus/Metro Less than 25 mi (40 km) Multi-site: Regional Data Center Clustering Clustering Clustering LUN level switching Synchronous Asynchronous Designed and intended for on-demand role swap operations

  14. Why I and PureFlex?Setting a higher standard for business computing • Business computing is the purpose • It is the paragon for integration • It is trusted • It is price and cost competitive forthe purpose it serves • It is well equipped to handle the fast paceof change in business and technology
