3 Webcast Agenda Drivers and Challenges of Virtualization Best-in-Class Virtualization Practices IBM zenterprise Server Overview Novell Virtualization Solutions Q&A

4 Aberdeen Outline Introduction to Aberdeen Research Process Virtualization Survey June, 2010 Best-in-Class Metrics Findings Virtualization Trends Best Practices - Virtualization Application Virtualization Data Management Server Hardware

5 Best-in-Class Maturity Framework Virtualization Benefits Best-in-Class Industry Average Laggard Decrease in application downtime 40% 20% 0% Reduction in IT spending for software, service licensing and support 39% 14% 0% Server concentration 18 to 1 10 to 1 3 to 1

6 Needless to say, organizations are gaining greatly from virtualization Percentage of Respondents (n = 180) 90% Top Benefits derived from Virtualization All Respondents 78% 60% 52% 45% 39% 30% 38% 34% 0% Reduced the number of servers Reduced IT expense Quicker application upgrades Easier Disaster Recovery Reduced downtime Lower power & cooling expense

7 Best Practice Virtualize all your applications What stages of the application lifecycle are you virtualizing? Best-in-Class Industry Average Laggard App Test/Dev/ Pre-Product Apps 93% 81% 46% Web Applications 93% 84% 54% Dept Specific/ Light Apps 93% 69% 46% Mission Critical Apps 67% 61% 28% 53% 44% 29% Database 46% 41% 42% Disaster Recovery 80% 63% 31%

8 Virtualize Large Enterprise Applications Best in Class organizations run their enterprise applications primarily on hypervisors and not directly on the physical server. These applications include: SQL Exchange, and SharePoint They gain the HA/DR advantages of running on a virtual platform Applications like Exchange and SharePoint have multiple roles and virtualizing can not only maximize efficiency but also improve scalability

9 Running Microsoft Applications on a Virtual Environment: Microsoft Exchange Percentage of Respondents (n = 88) 80% Best-in-Class Industry Average Laggard 76% 60% 55% 40% 38% 38% 29% 20% 0% 0% Currently use on a hypervisor Currently use on a physical server

10 Data Growth Virtualization greatly increases the amount of data Up to 70% of the data on virtualized servers is redundant Back-up windows do not get any larger even though the amount of data increases greatly App 3 App 2 App 5 App 1 App 4 App 1 App 2 App 3 App 4 App 5 Hypervisor Software 1

11 Deduplication Best-in-Class organizations are heavily utilizing data deduplication for their storage Almost 3X over Laggard organizations Also heavy use of disk mirroring to replicate data mostly to remote locations Best-in-Class Industry Average Laggard Use Data Deduplication Service 67% 27% 21% Not Considering Data Deduplication 11% 35% 47% 1

12 Server Consolidation One of the primary benefits of virtualizations is server consolidation some report 30 1 Limits to consolidation: Virtualizing all your applications Virtualizing enterprise applications Managing large volumes of data 1

13 Aberdeen s Mainframe Survey February 2010 Current users of mainframes Metrics tracked Power use Processing power Peak utilization Survey respondents fell into two groups: Consolidated - mainframes integrated into general server environment Not Consolidated - Mainframe is managed as a standalone asset 1

14 Benefits of Consolidation 36 survey respondents indicated they consolidated servers and storage using the mainframe as part of their server infrastructure 60 indicated they did not do so Benefits of consolidation: More applications deployed Higher peak utilization Increased data center performance 1

15 How do mainframes help the data center? Modern mainframes Don t just crunch data Can take load from other servers during down time Consolidated group is 80% more likely to have the most modern type of mainframe included in Aberdeen s survey s/390 G5 s/390 G6 zseries z9 z10 Consolidated 0% 3% 32% 13% 45% Not Consolidated 2% 4% 38% 27% 27% 1

16 Differences in Peak Utilization, Overall Performance Conslidated 45% 41% 60% 40% Consolidated 54% Not Consolidated 50% 35% Not Consolidated 34% 40% 30% 34% 25% 30% 20% 20% 15% 10% 10% 5% 0% 0% Ratio of Peak to Average Utilization Change in Overall Performance of Data Center (YoY) 1

17 Applications on Mainframe The mainframe takes on data-heavy tasks and applications Frees up the rest of the data center for other tasks The following applications are significantly more likely to be deployed entirely or partially on a mainframe: Business Intelligence ERP Web Applications WMS/TMS Consolidated 66% 70% 63% 100% Not Consolidated 46% 46% 33% 50% 1

18 Consolidated Infrastructure Supports More Applications CRM 100% App Development Tools ERP 50% Collaboration Data Warehouse 0% Database BI Consolidated Not Consolidated Warehouse Management Software / Transportation Management Software Firewall Web Apps 1

19 Aberdeen Best Practices Recommendations To move your organization from Average or Laggard to being Best-in-Class consider: Virtualize all your applications: Utilize data replication features: Even the largest Gain HA and portability advantages Deduplicate all your data Gain the economic advantages of server consolidation 1

30 Bank of Russia Reintegrating payment processing for Russia s national bank Business challenge: With a variety of local payment processing systems running on more than 200 distributed servers in 74 data centers across 11 time zones, the Bank of Russia faced significant challenges in terms of operational efficiency, technical support and security. Solution: Working with IBM and EC-Leasing, the Bank consolidated the entire infrastructure to just four IBM System z9 Enterprise Class (z9 EC) mainframes at two data centers; using a new software landscape under z/os and virtualized Linux servers under z/vm. Benefits: Cut payment processing costs by 95 percent, saving US $400 million Achieved further savings on licensing, maintenance and electricity Reduced workload for technical staff by 85 percent With IBM System z, instead of buying an oversized server and growing into it over the years, we only need to pay for what we use. As volumes increase, we can ask IBM to activate more processors within the mainframe to deal with the demand. - Mr. Mikhail Senatorov, Deputy Chairman, Bank of Russia Solution components: IBM System z9 Enterprise Class IBM z/os IBM z/vm SUSE Linux IBM Global Mirror IBM Metro Mirror IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON IBM WebSphere MQSeries 2010 IBM Corporation
