IBM i - The integrated operating system for Power Systems

IBM i has a track record of delivering lower total cost of ownership than x86

servers

– IBM i and Power servers offers three-year IT costs that are 34% less than for

use of Windows servers and SQL Server and 51% less than for use of Linux

servers and Oracle (1)

The IBM i operating environment includes operating system and middleware

components that are designed, developed, built, tested, delivered, and

supported as one

Almost all customers run multiple applications on a single IBM i environment

– IBM i subsystems provide workload isolation

– IBM i systems typically run at a higher utilization rate than x86 systems (2)

PowerVM provides industrial Strength Virtualization for AIX, IBM i, and Linux

IBM BladeCenter enables small and mid-sized i clients to consolidate their IT

environment

IBM i has a proven reputation for exceptional business resiliency

– 3 year cost of downtime for IBM i averages 80% less than x86 servers (1)

Technology Independent Machine Interface ensures IBM i application

compatibility as the hardware technology changes

– IBM i releases and versions offer binary compatibility and hardware optimization

– Recompilation has not been required

IBM i has a track record of significantly fewer security advisories than Microsoft

Windows Server

– Secunia has issued 185 security advisories for Windows Server 2003 with only 1 for IBM

i (3)

Systems Director Navigator for i is an integrated tool for managing the

integrated IBM i operating environment

Through single level store, IBM i balances data across available storage

resources based on performance, capacity, or type of drive

– IBM i customers typically do not have storage administrators

DB2 for i is a fully compliant SQL database that also provides the unique ability

to support RPG applications

– DB2 for i was the first database to meet 100% of the core SQL 2008 ANSI

standard

– Integrated system and storage management and security results in easier

administration - majority of IBM i clients do not have a DBA

IBM i runs on the fastest processors in the industry: POWER6 5.0 GHz offering

scalability for small, mid-sized and large enterprises

IBM provides a single point of support for the IBM i operating environment

Program Conversion

Ensures unprecedented system integrity

Delivers improved performance

Enables exploitation of future system and processor capabilities

Program conversion will be required to run with i 6.1

– Program conversion automatically upgrades software to exploit latest system enhancements

– Not required for POWER6, which can run i 5.4

Conversion requires program's creation data (observability)

– Note that all programs created for V5R1 or later releases have had their creation data automatically saved during program creation

Tool available now to analyze program conversion for V5R3 / V5R4

– Identifies potential issues, if any, and estimates conversion time

Program conversion is performed during install/restore of applications, at first use or at scheduled time

Top Ten Reasons to Deploy IBM i 6.1

1. Enable consolidation of i and x86 servers with an IBM BladeCenter™ solution. i 6.1 is supported in IBM BladeCenter S and H with BladeCenter JS12, JS22, JS23, JS43 blades.

2. Reduce impact of planned and unplanned outages with high availability solution from IBM. i 6.1 supports the new PowerHA for i disk clustering solution.

3. Better performance for i and IBM Systems Storage™ environments through improved SAN support. i 6.1 with POWER6 processor based-servers and a new Fibre Channel Adapter can deliver performance with the DS8000 that is comparable to internal disk.

4. Increased performance for Java™ and WebSphere™ applications with i 6.1 enhancements. In Java application performance tests, IBM i delivered 68-78% more transactions per second than i 5.4 running on the same POWER5+ processor based-server.

5. Reduce IT costs with an easy, integrated, web-based management environment. i 6.1 delivers Systems Director Navigator for i that enables web-based management. Navigator integrates with IBM Systems Director 6.1 providing a rich management environment for multiple, heterogeneous servers.

6. Meet regulatory requirements by protecting data at rest and backups of critical business information through advanced encryption options available for i 6.1.

7. Reduce costs and simplify creation of test and development environments through virtualization of i storage. i 6.1 with POWER6 processor based-servers can be a virtual partition, receiving its I/O resources from another IBM i or PowerVM™ VIOS partition.

8. Simplify deployment of Java applications and extend value of business applications through a web application server and web services environment provided with i 6.1

9. Enhance application functionality and performance with new DB2™ database functions and management tools provided with i 6.1.

10. Deliver the performance required for IBM i applications with POWER6 processor based-servers. These 1 to 64 processor core servers provide industry leading performance for IBM i, AIX®, and Linux operating systems.

IBM i 6.1, the latest version of the integrated operating system for Power servers, can deliver significant benefits for i

customers including:

environments for existing and new customers."

Kevin Beasley

Chief Information Officer

Vision Solutions

“Our software solutions were put through an extensive

battery of tests in terms of compatibility and reliability on

IBM’s BladeCenter. Validation scenarios mirror exactly what

our customers experience on a daily basis and ran as

smoothly as on non-blade environments.”

Henry Martinez

Senior Vice President of Engineering

International Business Systems (IBS)

“The BladeCenter provides our customers with an IT

environment that's greener, and at an affordable price. With

VMWare and the IBM Blade Center they now only need to

manage one server to run IBS Enterprise and Bookmaster on i

blades and on x86 servers that accesses the same integrated

storage.”

“IBM and IBS have provided proven solutions on the IBM Power i

(iSeries/AS400) server platform for over 30 years and share over 4,000

customers. Over time IBS has expanded our core Power i applications to

include other modules that run on Intel and Linux servers, including Cognos.

With great anticipation, earlier this year we took advantage of the VMWare

feature in V6R1 to help our customers operate a simpler server environment

and run our entire application on an IBM BladeCenter.”

as a bonus, the encryption of all of our logs and

journals.”

Greg Faust

Managing PartnerReduced Risk of Hackers

HarrisData

“The advanced encryption functions available in V6R1

help HarrisData software reduce the risk of accidental

disclosure of sensitive information stored on disk or on

tape. Without the encryption key, unauthorized access to

an encrypted data element such as Social Security

Number returns only a scrambled value. Even if hackers or

thieves manage to get their hands on your HarrisData

database, the sensitive information inside will still be

protected by the new encryption functionality.”
