IBM Research is contributing to OpenStack in several ways:
1) Developing storage drivers for IBM block and object storage systems to integrate them with OpenStack.
2) Exploring features beyond just drivers like supporting different classes of storage, Fibre Channel connectivity, and quality of service options.
3) Researching global object storage capabilities like distributed replication and geographic placement constraints.
CIBER Managed Services GmbH built a dynamic Cloud Infrastructure for SAP landscapes, based on a combination of IBM server, storage, database, and system management software. The new storage infrastructure, which consists of the IBM XIV Storage System and IBM SAN Volume Controller, offers individual service classes to suit different customer needs, maximizing operational efficiency and minimizing expenses. The SAP application landscapes run on both IBM Power Systems servers and IBM System x Blade Server technologies.

This technical paper explores how Voith IT Solutions has cut costs and improved system performance by migrating its SAP applications to IBM DB2 on the IBM Power platform. With support from SAP, IBM and IBM Premier Business Partner SVA, Voith has reduced total system administration effort, cut total data storage volumes through the use of IBM DB2 Deep Compression, and introduced Unicode for international working.

IBM i – Not Just An Operating System, but so much more:
“More than any other platform in existence today, POWER7-based systems and IBM i 7.1 are designed to minimize complexities1.”
System z Technology Summit Streamlining UtilitiesSurekha Parekh
Most DB2 applications are global non-stop, requiring almost
100% accessibility. Availability demands reduce the amount
of time available to perform necessary routine tasks, such as
utility maintenance on the underlying data and objects stored
in DB2 for z/OS that support critical business applications. In
addition, companies are looking for ways to streamline DB2 utility
processing to maximize system and personnel resources. How
valuable would it be to maximize your use of IBM DB2 Utilities
Suite for z/OS for both DB2 9 and DB2 10? What if you could
establish DB2 utility practices at a company level and know
that they would be monitored and adhered to? Do you want
to reduce your batch window during utility sort processing to
improve availability and performance? How important would it
be to run utilities only on objects when and if it’s necessary?
The answers to these questions and more will be revealed in
this session.
Voith chose to extend its existing Power Systems server landscape with POWER6 and POWER7 processor-based servers as the platform of choice, and migrate its SAP database to IBM DB2 for Linux, Unix and Windows version 9.5. Average SAP response time is up to 20 percent faster, Software license costs have decreased, and maintenance, administration and operational expenses have been reduced

IBM is ranked #2 in Cloud storage. Learn how IBM XIV, DS8000, Spectrum Accelerate, FlashSystem, SAN Volume Controller and the rest of the Storwize family built with Spectrum Virtualize, Spectrum Scale, Elastic Storage Server, Storwize V7000 Unified, and offerings from IBM SoftLayer Cloud services.
Effectively Plan for Your Move to the CloudPrecisely
Many companies using Power Systems running IBM i are looking to more some or all of their workloads to the cloud. Whether the motivation is to optimize their spending or allow for a more flexible consumption model, the cloud can provide unique opportunities to optimize their IBM i environment.
IBM Power Systems Virtual Server is one way to get the benefits of hybrid cloud, maintain the high performance of IBM Power Systems while modernizing at your pace and price point, on and off premises.
As companies move to a cloud environment, they need to consider the challenges of migrating their workload. Migrations always require detailed, coordinated planning and flawless execution. This is especially true today when downtime of any duration is completely unacceptable. So, above all other considerations, maintaining continuous uptime throughout the process is absolutely mandatory.
Watch this on-demand webinar to hear about:
• Benefits of a hybrid cloud approach for IBM i
• Ways the IBM Power VS can add value to your IBM i environment
• How to effectively scope and execute a migration to the cloud.
IBM was ranked #1 in 2014 for having 40% marketshare in Software Defined Storage (SDS). Learn why people are excited about Software Defined environments like OpenStack, IBM Cloud, VMware and Microsoft, what IBM has to offer in this area with Spectrum Storage family of products, and how to deploy this in your own datacenter.
