IBM is presenting on using IBM Cloud Private on Linux on Z to modernize IBM Z systems. IBM Cloud Private offers a private cloud platform that provides the agility and flexibility of public cloud with the security and performance of private cloud. It is based on Kubernetes and allows organizations to modernize applications, leverage existing IBM Z investments, and build new cloud native applications. IBM Cloud Private can run workloads across x86, Power, and IBM Z architectures in a heterogeneous environment.

7. Digital Transformation has been the Biggest Challenge…
IBM Z System7
— A recent Bain & Company article polled over a thousand companies and asked them to grade the success
of their transformation projects from last year. These 1,000+ companies Self – reported that only 5% of
their digital transformation projects achieved the objectives they set out to accomplish at the start of the
project.
• They tried to “boil the ocean”
• They didn’t have a clear business objective
• Or they didn’t use the right implementation methodology
• Didn’t utilize the right partner
• Not getting the ROI they anticipated
• Couldn’t push it out across the organization

Open, highly secure public and private

Hybrid integration & multicloud management

Expertise & methods standardized methods and tools
to help prioritize and modernize
And how IBM accelerates
modernization
Unique workload needs – compliance,
security, location - requires more choice
Multiple clouds & vendors – hard to
connect / manage across clouds and IT
Lack of necessary skills – how do you
prioritize and deliver modernization
What’s preventing rapid
modernization?

▪ Leverage existing application logic
▪ Need to accelerate application development and maintenance
▪ Monolithic applications that are complex and brittle
C H A L L E N G E S
B E N E F I T S
▪ Included and deployed on IBM Cloud Private
▪ Introspects existing WebSphere Deployments
▪ THE source of truth
▪ Provides recommendations for Application Modernization
Transformation Advisor is a tool that consumes information about your WebSphere Environment
and Applications. These inputs are combined with rules and insights gained from years of working
with WebSphere and WebSphere applications to provide recommendations for your cloud journey.

26. Workload Assessment
• Quickly evaluate your applications for rapid
deployment on Public and/or Private Cloud
environments
• Calculate the development cost to perform the
move to cloud and receive recommendations on the
best target environment
• Detailed reports include advice, suggestions, and
best practices to ensure that the application runs
correctly in the recommended cloud environment
• Enables administrators to evaluate applications in
minutes without accessing source code
The Transformation Advisor is available
as free content on IBM Cloud Private

27. IBM Microclimate
Microclimate is an end to end development environment that lets you rapidly create,
edit, and deploy applications. Applications are run in containers from day one and can
be delivered into production on Kubernetes through an automated DevOps pipeline using
Jenkins. Microclimate can be installed locally or on IBM Cloud Private.

Boot Node • A boot or bootstrap node is used for running IBM Cloud Private installation, configuration, node
scaling, and cluster updates
• One boot node is required for any cluster
Master Node • Provides management services and controls the worker nodes in a cluster
• Master nodes host processes that are responsible for resource allocation, state maintenance,
scheduling, and monitoring
• Multiple master nodes are in a high availability (HA) environment to allow for failover if the leading
master host fails
Worker Node • Provides a containerized environment for running workload and tasks
• Worker nodes can be added or removed to scale up or down the cluster capacity
• A cluster can contain any number of worker nodes, but a minimum of one worker node is required
• Transmits external request to the services created inside the cluster
• HA environment deploy multiple proxy nodes to allow for failover
Proxy Node
• Hosts management services such as monitoring, metering, and logging
• Offload master node from becoming overloaded
• The management node can only be enabled during IBM Cloud Private installation

53. This presentation uses the IBM Plex™ font
53 © Copyright IBM Corporation 2019
IBM Plex™ is our new typeface. It’s global, it’s versatile and it’s
distinctly IBM.
IBM Plex
Sans
The IBM company is freeing itself from the cold, modernist cliché
and replacing Helvetica with a new corporate typeface. Also
replaces Arial, Calibri, Lucida Grande, Trebuchet, etc.
IBM Plex
Mono
A little something for developers. Replaces
Courier New, Letter Gothic, Lucida Console, etc.
IBM Plex
Serif
A hybrid of the third kind (combining the best of Plex, Bodoni,
and Janson into a contemporary serif). Replaces Cambria,
Garamond, Lucida Bright, Times New Roman, etc.
IBM Plex is freely available as TrueType and OpenType at: https://github.com/IBM/plex/releases
