IBM Competitive Project Office
Cloud. Pure and simple.
IBM’s private cloud, with its performance value and reduced cost
through integrated management

PureApplication solutions bring cloud
economics and hybrid cloud together
Deploying and managing software quickly and easily
across Hybrid Cloud options with proven “patterns” of expertise
Patterns:

Let’s focus on your deployment choice of a private cloud

Why PureApplication System for your on-premise
private cloud?
Customers look for private clouds:
To deliver optimal performance
Offer more control and security over resources
Provide more automation and less labor to manage than their
current on-premise environment
Why IBM Hybrid Cloud for this?
Fastest setup
Run workloads on Intel or POWER technology
Best price/performance – lower cost/core
Integrated system and workload monitoring
Simplified software maintenance and disaster recovery
Reduce labor costs by up to three quarters across IT lifecycle
And as shown earlier, seamless portability to the IBM public cloud

Built-in Expertise: High-availability
hardware in PureApplication System
Management Nodes
– Both run in active-passive mode, when a failure occurs the IP
address is assigned to the new active one
Network Controllers
– Switches and cabling are redundant (2 of each)
– Failure of 1 leads to reduced bandwidth, not service
Storage Controllers
– All storage volumes are accessible from each controller
– If one fails, the other handles all I/O
Storage
– SSD storage is configured in RAID 5 array + spares
– HDD storage is configured in RAID 5 array + spares
Compute Nodes (ITE)
– Management system will route around failed DIMMs or cores
yielding reduced capacity (server rebalance)
– If entire node fails, VMs can be moved elsewhere (workload
evacuation)

Why is PureApplication with POWER so fast
with great price/performance?
Higher performance per core achieved through:
Massive parallelism (threads) compared to x86
Higher clock frequencies
4-way SMT per core
PowerVM placement optimization for PureApplication
Larger POWER L3 on-chip cache
Storwize V7000 storage with more efficient storage access
IBM middleware optimizations
– WebSphere and DB2 optimizations for POWER and AIX architecture
– Leading SPECjEnterprise2010 publishes on POWER7+ at
http://www.spec.org/jEnterprise2010/results
Lower cost/performance per core due to:
No additional software cost for entitled software
– i.e., AIX, WebSphere V7, V8, V8.5, DB2 V9.7, V10.1

Oracle Exalogic requires most expensive
WebLogic Edition, plus charges premium
There are multiple editions of WebLogic at various price points
WebLogic Standard - $10 K
WebLogic Enterprise - $25 K
WebLogic Suite - $45 K
On Exalogic, Oracle requires WebLogic Suite, the most expensive
edition
If a customer has existing WebLogic Standard or WebLogic Enterprise
Licenses, then they must acquire WebLogic Suite Licenses
Exalogic Elastic Cloud Software priced at $10,000 per core is required
when running WebLogic Suite on Exalogic or SuperCluster
Represents an additional 22% premium that Oracle charges

IBM
I need to support multiple
organizations, and ensure
that there is secure, isolated
access between them.
Operations Manager
You can do this with
PureSystems Manager.
Let’s take a closer look.

Multi-tenancy capability of PureApplication
is superior to competitors
PureApplication System supports
multi-tenancy out of the box
Includes self-contained tools
Easy to implement
With Vblock
21
It’s only infrastructure.
There is no integrated software.
You buy third-party VMware vCloud
Suite, install it and set it up
More experienced management
skills required than PureApplication
With Exalogic
A 1/8 rack (96 cores) is limited to a
single virtual data center, so it
cannot isolate resources between
multiple organizations
Must purchase a larger Exalogic rack
to get resource isolation

Systems need firmware updates,
patches applied, and workload
maintenance. These can be long
and boring tasks, yet they
require skilled admins!
Operations Manager
You’re right but PureApplication
makes it straight forward and
easier than manual methods.
Let me show you.
24

Vblock firmware and driver updates are a
manual process
VCE only provides a System Version Tool to
guide the manual download and update process
Software update process is
not integrated via a single
management console or tool
Information and update software
downloads requires manual visits to
different sites for each component
support.vce.com
support.emc.com
cisco.com
vmware.com
How do you update a Vblock “Integrated System”?
25
UCS Manager, Cisco blades, Cisco switches
• Find the installation guide for your version, and follow Cisco patching process
EMC Storage (VNX5300), UIM
• Retrieve documents, schedule meeting with EMC support team
VMware
• VCE directs you to support.vce.com for all VMware software updates

Applying a patch for a running WebSphere
Server is easy
1. Select a running VM instance
2. Click on the Service button to launch a screen that
allows an admin to apply the latest WebSphere patch

Do It Yourself and Coalition Competitor used 7 blades (168 cores). Pre-Integrated Competitor used 14 pre-integrated nodes (252 cores). IBM PureApplication System (POWER) used 3 nodes (96
cores). Each system has the capacity to run 84 workloads where each workload can sustain a peak throughput of 1545 page elements per second. The labor savings and assumptions herein are
estimates based on a labor model that uses data obtained on the percentage of time customers spend on certain IT lifecycle tasks. It is not a benchmark. As such, actual customer results will vary
based on customer applications, differences in stack deployed and other systems variations as well as actual configuration, applications, specific queries and other variables in a production
environment.
