  1. Taking control and reducing the cost your data infrastructure Kevin Ashby

  2. Enterprise Platform Modernization

  3. Reducing Costs from Mainframe / Unix The right decision at the time • Custodians of invaluable business data, intelligence, processes • Characterized by scalability, reliability, availability, and cost. • Mainframe Systems – System z, Bull, ICL, Tandem, Unisys, etc. • Midrange Systems – AS/400, HP3000, OpenVMS, Solaris, HP-UX, Dynix, etc • Applications- COBOL, PL/I, CICS, DB2, IMS, JCL, RPG, Natural, Adabas, Oracle However – The Landscape has Changed • Locked in to shrinking ecosystem • Future tied to single OEM • Baby Boomers with essential skills retiring and not being replaced • Saving c 40% from Unix migrations • Savings 35-90% mainframe migrations

  4. Benefits to customers • Reduce IBM Mainframe Licensing Costs by 50% to 90% • Cut the cost of MIPS • Reallocation this to new development to address business needs • Improve Efficiency and Performance by up to 90% and maximise use of existing assets • Fit Your Infrastructure to Your Business with the next-generation Web and Application Platform • Port v Rewrite

  5. Challenges Facing Businesses • Maximize existing investments by making the most of what you already have. • Not always a Migration • Integration, Interoperability • Make strategic new investments that will bring tangible returns and save you money. • BI to wrap around existing data sources • Data Marts, extending existing data stores such as Teradata

  6. Consolidate Data Systems • SQL Server DBAs manage over 3 times as many databases as Oracle DBAs • Annual cost of administering an Oracle database is over 3 ½ times of that for SQL Server Alinean Group 2007 • Rationalise data platform • Rationalize hardware • Cut energy consumption • Reduce real estate requirements • Lower administrative overhead

  7. 2005 2009 Up to 9x Performance Performance Refresh 1:1 18% Annual Energy Costs Estimated Reduction 184 Intel® Xeon® 5500 Based Servers – OR – 90% Annual Energy Costs Estimated Reduction Efficiency Refresh 9:1 As Low as 8 MonthPayback 184 Intel® Xeon® Single Core Servers 21 Intel® Xeon® 5500 Based Servers Server Refresh Benefits(Single Core) Source: Intel estimates as of Nov 2008. Performance comparison using SPECjbb2005 bops (business operations per second). Results have been estimated based on internal Intel analysis and are provided for informational purposes only.  Any difference in system hardware or software design or configuration may affect actual performance. For detailed calculations, configurations and assumptions refer to the legal information slide in backup.

  8. Modernization Roadmap BPM Compliance ERP Retire Retain Replace Rehost Rewrite Phase out unneeded applications to constrain maintenance costs Leave the data transactions as is, implementing new capabilities outside the mainframe, mid range, Unix Server If your solution is not providing differentiation, it is often more cost effective to replace with commercially available applications • If your system is not meeting your needs, you can recreate the desired application on a modern platform If your solution is meeting your needs but needs to be on a more cost effective platform you can rehost

  9. Notable migrations Retain Replace Rehost Rewrite Operation Processes Business Processes Project Portfolio Application Portfolio C/C++, PL/I, COBOL, ASM CICS IMS DB2 C ISAM VSAM z/OS UNIX http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver/mainframe

  10. Case Study • Migrating from Oracle cut cost by 41% • Enhanced performance over the previous UNIX system • Increased responsiveness gives them a competitive edge Wanted to reduce the expense of their (RISC) based UNIX platform for SAP Migrated from UNIX and Oracle to Microsoft SQL Server™ 2005
