IBM System z Solution Edition for Enterprise Linux and the Enterprise Linux Server Linux on System z Business Perspective A Convergence of Market Forces 1. The adoption of virtualization for consolidation is now the industry norm – Clients are looking to take the next step – very large scale consolidation – But there are challenges: Questions over the scaling of x86 virtualization solutions Speculation over the longevity of some UNIX® offerings 2. Linux on System z has strong acceptance in the market – High level of adoption from existing mainframe clients – Bringing new clients to the System z platform – Underpinning technologies are designed for very large scale computing with the highest Qualities of Services Î The convergence of two forces: – Linux on System z is the ideal platform for clients looking for a large scale consolidation solution 5 © 2009 IBM Corporation
IBM System z Solution Edition for Enterprise Linux and the Enterprise Linux Server Introducing New IBM Offerings for Large Scale Consolidation The Enterprise Linux Server A dedicated IBM System z server for large-scale Linux workloads Offerings include – – – – – – System z Solution Edition for Enterprise Linux Additional capacity on an installed IBM System z server for large Linux workloads z/VM V5 or V6 Base Product and features:

IBM System z Solution Edition for Enterprise Linux and the Enterprise Linux Server System z Solution Edition for Enterprise Linux Pricing Overview The focus of SE for EL is to capture large-scale virtualization and consolidation opportunities, not to change the economics of adding a small number of IFLs to an existing machine For qualifying large-scale Linux consolidation opportunities, the incremental pricing for SE for EL is similar to the incremental pricing characteristics of the Enterprise Linux Server Significant discounting is available for the sale of multiple IFLs on System z10 EC and BC machines Refer to your System z playbook for details 9 Note: participation and pricing may vary by country. © 2009 IBM Corporation
IBM System z Solution Edition for Enterprise Linux and the Enterprise Linux Server Value Proposition Summary IBM System z Solution Edition for Enterprise Linux and The Enterprise Linux Server Leverage the ability of Linux on System z to consolidate UNIX and x86 processor cores to unleash significant IT cost savings opportunities 10 People Costs – increase the productivity of the IT staff Software Costs – reduce software license fees by consolidating a large number of virtual machines per System z core Energy Costs – dramatic reduction in power usage Facilities Costs – reduce floor space with dense server consolidation on System z Networking Costs – consolidate networks inside the box too © 2009 IBM Corporation
IBM System z Solution Edition for Enterprise Linux and the Enterprise Linux Server IBM System z Solution Edition for Enterprise Linux and the Enterprise Linux Server – Competitive Perspective x86 virtualization solutions have some hidden and some not-so-hidden issues – Physical server sprawl is needed to scale a virtualized x86 environment – typically with linear, per-machine pricing – x86 virtual machine sprawl can be difficult to manage, causing operational complexity – Ineffective capacity planning can result in failure to meet service level agreements – Limited core-to-core consolidation ratios and virtual machine mobility requirements can lead to costly software fees – x86 systems do not have a heritage of robust security support – Duplication of hardware is needed for disaster recovery Enterprise Linux Server provides a superior scale-up system architecture for scale-out x86 applications Consolidate more and spend less with IBM System z – Dynamically expand your system “on demand” – add capacity when you need it, not any sooner, not any later – Enjoy superior operational capabilities for greater levels of command and control – Total Cost of Ownership economics favor server virtualization on ELS, especially when factoring in disaster recovery and server technology refreshes 11 © 2009 IBM Corporation
IBM System z Solution Edition for Enterprise Linux and the Enterprise Linux Server IBM System z Solution Edition for Enterprise Linux and the Enterprise Linux Server – Next Steps Introduce IT organizations to the compelling business value of hosting virtual servers on System z with z/VM and Linux Identify customers who: – Spend too much money on x86 and UNIX server and networking sprawl – Struggle to host I/O and data-intensive workloads in virtual servers with acceptable levels of performance, scalability, availability, capacity planning, or disaster recovery – Are experiencing or projecting IT growth and want a better way to manage that growth Target “Fit for Purpose” workloads that leverage the strengths of IBM System z – High I/O bandwidth – Rock-solid system security – Cost-effective disaster recovery – Hosting a large number of mixed workloads on the same machine – Database and data serving applications like Oracle are a particular “best fit” for Linux on System z Partner with Novell and Red Hat for client engagements and new Linux pricing options developed for the Enterprise Linux Server and Solution Edition for Enterprise Linux 12 © 2009 IBM Corporation
