Consolidating with AIX on Power Systems
enables clients to…
Server consolidation improves service to clients by
delivering flexible performance, dynamic provisioning
and enabling clients to avoid disruption
Server consolidation with shared resources enables high
system utilization, which lowers the cost of ownership by
reducing networking, energy, floor space, and software
costs.
REDUCE COST
IMPROVE SERVICE
MANAGE RISK
Server consolidation manages IT risk by improving
security, increasing business resiliency and
simplifying operations.

University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC)
Rewriting the rules on IT investment to facilitate tomorrow’s healthcare innovations
Business Challenge
UPMC, Pennsylvania’s largest integrated healthcare delivery
network, sought to lower the cost and complexity of IT infrastructure
to enable the continued investment in next-generation clinical
systems and to lay the foundation for the best possible patient care.
Solution
Now in the middle of a landmark, 8-year strategic partnership with
IBM, UPMC is transforming its systems through consolidation,
standardization and virtualization. Relying on IBM products and
services, the mid-stream effort has already resulted in the reduction of
hundreds of servers across the UPMC network and achieved more
than a quantum improvement in resource efficiency. It has
fundamentally changed the
link between processing and resource needs — enabling it to meet an
ambitious clinical agenda with a far lower rate of IT investment growth.
Benefits
 $30 million in capital and operating cost reductions
150 percent increase in processing capacity with no increase
in IT support costs
 40 percent reduction in IT infrastructure floor space requirements,
freeing up space for revenue generating services
 67 percent reduction in number of physical servers
“ Considering that IBM and UPMC
are only midway through this trans-
formation project, the results have been
impressive. We have already proven that
standardization, along with aggressive
implementation of virtualization, yields
unprecedented productivity and
efficiency.”
– Paul Sikora, VP of IT Transformation, UPMC

AIX Workload Partitions (WPAR)
 WPARs are designed to save
administrator work by reducing
the number of AIX instances to
patch
 WPARs have much lower
memory resource requirements:
68 MB vs 1GB for an LPAR
 WPAR takes seconds to create
and LPARs minutes
 Application mobility much
simpler to organize than LPM
 Lots of WPARs on one AIX is
simpler to monitor and control
than monitoring across many
LPARs.
 Rapid cloning is easy and lets
you use "disposable images" -
simple to create, experiment and
throw away
Virtualized AIX operating
system environments within a
single AIX image
Each WPAR shares the single
AIX operating system
AIX 7 added the capability to
run AIX 5.2 in a WPAR*
Applications and users inside a
WPAR cannot affect resources
outside the WPAR*
Each WPAR can have a
regulated share of processor,
memory and other resources
Two types of WPAR
- System WPARs have separate
security and appear like a
completely separate OS
- Application WPARs are
manageability wrappers around a
single application

AIX 5.2 WPARs for AIX 7
 This offering requires AIX 7 and POWER7 so the client has to purchase those items separately
 Client provides their own backup of an AIX 5.2 environment
– IBM does not supply AIX 5.2 media or backup image
 Most applications should run in this environment. Notable exceptions:
– Applications that require the AIX 5.2 kernel or 32 bit kernel exceptions
– Applications that require hardware that is not supported by AIX 7 (e.g. Token ring)
– Applications that are locked to a machine serial number
– PowerHA SystemMirror and HACMP are not supported inside the WPAR
 Because the performance commands and libraries are used from AIX 7, applications that are
sensitive to output from these commands may not work
 The SWMA for this offering provides limited support for the AIX 5.2 operating system including
phone support and limited new fix support
– Fix support is limited to security and critical issues and may not always be possible
