Nationwide Delivers Cloud Services with Linux on System z
Nationwide is running hundreds of virtual Linux servers on two IBM System z10 Enterprise Class machines. The company offers a broad set of tested-and-certified Linux images as part of their catalogue of services:
WebSphere Application Server
WebSphere Portal Server
Apache Server
DB2 LUW Server
Virtual server images are deployed in minutes after a request is submitted using pre-approved templates and a “shared root” file structure made possible by running Linux on z/VM.
Services are monitored and managed with complete back up capabilities to run in either of their two Class 4 Data Centers. Services are terminated and resources are reclaimed when user contracts expire.
Nationwide has successfully migrated their Linux on System z cloud infrastructure to new generations of mainframe technology with incredible speed. In 45 minutes the Nationwide team was able to move their z9 Linux infrastructure onto their new z10 machines – upgrading hundreds of virtual servers with no application breakage.
Several of these applications have moved multiple times from Linux-on-z to AIX and back to Linux-on-z in order to satisfy different business requirements.

Linux on System z Advantages As Seen by a Large Financial Services Company
Test servers tend to multiply (one application can require 16 or more servers)
Unit testing
QA testing
Enterprise testing
Regression testing
Cluster testing
Middleware and Operating System version testing
Reliable common driver code for all virtual servers
HW platform changes / upgrades are all possible without major disruption to Linux
Every virtual server benefits from hardware upgrades, technology refreshes, and hardware currency – no waiting for the 3-to-4-year upgrade cycle
No cables!
No flaky memory cards, no NIC mismatches, no CPU failures
Real hardware multi-pathing
Significant power / floor space / cooling savings
Decommissioned virtual server resources are returned to the shared pool of system resources and reused (vs. spending about $800 to dispose of an old physical server)

Automobile Services Company Selects IBM System z, Linux and WebSphere as New Strategic Direction for Enterprise Middleware Business challenge: Client relied on a Microsoft .net infrastructure running on HP blades to connect its various systems. Ad-hoc functionality and non-standard interfaces created support and scalability challenges that made the company less agile in responding to business requirements and new opportunities. Solution: A new project offering in-car communication services prompted the company to pursue an IBM WebSphere SOA-based enterprise standard for middleware running on Linux on System z. The System z solution significantly outperformed a Microsoft / HP alternative.
Solution components:
IBM System z
Linux on System z
IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager
IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON
IBM WebSphere Process Server
IBM WebSphere Service Registry and Repository
IBM WebSphere Modeler
The client cited value, performance, and robustness as the primary reasons for selecting the IBM solution.
Benefits:
IBM solution gives the client a more flexible middleware infrastructure to support innovative new solutions
Increased responsiveness allows client to bring new offerings to the marketplace sooner rather than later
Client is in a better position to differentiate itself from competitors

Workload Management with Unified Resource Manager Policy-based Resource Sharing that Aligns IT Assets with Business Priorities
A Workload is a grouping mechanism and management view of virtual servers supporting a business application
It provides the context within which associated platform resources are presented , monitored , reported , and managed
A Performance Policy is associated with a Workload
Unified Resource Manager will dynamically adjust CPU settings to achieve performance policy compliance
Workloads can span LPARs, blades, and even zEnterprise systems (up to eight)

Database-as-a-Service and Multi-tenancy with DB2 on z/OS
Multi-tenancy: multiple companies or users using the same software with a level of isolation
Tenants are companies or users that would have historically installed and used a single instance of software solely for their own use
Multi-tenancy allows companies/users to use the same software with a level of isolation
Multi-tenancy can further reduce hardware and maintenance costs of DBaaS
Analogous to users running various applications on the same operating system
The point is to share management and hardware costs among a number of tenants
Tenants, like the distinct users on an operating system require a level isolation
Number of Tenants Size of Tenants Large tenants Medium tenants Long tail of small tenants Medium Tenants Small Tenants Large Tenants Isolation: Databases Shared: Hardware Isolation: Tables Shared: Database Isolation: Rows Shared: Tables MT Application MT Application MT Application or non-MT application
