  1. Session 9060: On Demand Business and IT Simplification,featuring the announcement of the IBM Virtualization Engine Suite for ServersSHARE August 2004 Nigel Dessau IBM VP, Virtualization Solutions

  2. Agenda • On Demand Business A new approach for your infrastructure • IT Simplification Our core business supporting your core business • Future of Virtualization • Next Steps

  3. On Demand Business An on demand business is an enterprise whose business processes—integrated end-to-end across the company and with key partners, suppliers and customers—can respond with speedto any customer demand, market opportunity or external threat.

  4. Insights about On Demand Businesses The need for flexibility and innovation forces increased componentization of the overall business and its processes 1 Applications evolve on a parallel path— becoming increasingly modular 2 Simplification of the underlying IT infrastructure is required to support the changes in the business 3

  5. Horizontal Process Partners Partners Partners The Capabilities You’ll Need Integration • Business Modeling • Process Transformation • Application & Information Integration • Access • Collaboration • Business Process Management Business Flexibility Infrastructure Management • Automation/Virtualization • Availability • Security • Optimization • Provisioning • Policy-based Orchestration • Business Service Management • Resource Virtualization of Servers, Storage, Distributed Systems/Grid and the Network IT Simplification

  6. Simplifying the environment remains a critical step in becoming an On Demand Business • Lower the cost of their existing infrastructure • Reduce the complexity of adding to that infrastructure • Building heterogeneous infrastructure/Data Centers that are more responsive to their business needs

  7. Agenda • On Demand Business A new approach for your infrastructure • IT Simplification Our core business supporting your core business • Future of Virtualization • Next Steps

  8. Complexity and cost • “Our infrastructure grew organically over the years without a master plan – things got bolted on – and now we are stuck were we are” CIO Fortune 1000 company

  9. Simplification through virtualization • Virtualization is the process of presenting computing resources in ways that users and applications can easily get value out of them, rather than presenting them in a way dictated by their implementation, geographic location, or physical packaging. In other words, it provides a logical rather than physical view of data, computing power, storage capacity, and other resources. • Jonathan Eunice, Illuminata

  10. On Demand Resources Full Enterprise Infrastructure Simplification Enterprise - Wide Grids Enterprise Wide Application Based Grids Infrastructure Simplification Distributed Partial Storage Simplification Server Simplification Internet Based Applications Discrete How do customers adopt Virtualization Solutions?

  31. Enterprise Workload Manager • Enterprise Workload Manager (EWLM) helps optimize physical resources based on business policies to support application performance • In VE 1.0, EWLM leverages ARM instrumentation to collect and report service class metrics relative to performance goals (i.e. response time and business priority) • Detection of server and application topology is automated and EWLM can dynamically adjust routing weights for Nortel and Cisco switches to optimize load balancing • EWLM can work in tandem with Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator (TIO), which will deploy the EWLM agent onto newly allocated resources and as TIO allocates resources to an EWLM domain, EWLM will recognize their availability and optimize their utilization based on application SLOs

  32. Domain Manager Management Domain Java™ Language-based Applications can Benefit from VE 1. EWLM uses open interfaces based on ARM Websphere & DB2 instrumented to use ARM Applications inherit the benefit of Websphere & DB2 ARM-enablement 2. Customer defines transaction class & policy Definitions portable across all supported platforms 3. EWLM monitors operating system, Websphere & DB2 Provides input for workload balancing decisions – server utilization, trans response time & topology Provides consistent information across supported platforms Java is a registered trademark of Sun Microsystems, Inc.

  33. ARM – Automatic Response Measurement • What is ARM? • Standards-based application instrumentation • Uses Open Group ARM V4.0 standard Apache WebSphere local application correlator correlator TC=Buy TC=Buy Hop 0 Hop 1 EWLM EWLM EWLM • Correlation with ARM • Each work request has a unique “transaction correlator” • Application flows correlator along with each external request • arm_start_transaction API accepts an optional parent correlator • Correlator propagates transaction class & topology relationship

  34. IBM Director Multiplatform • Consistent basic management including: monitoring, events, grouping, and task scheduling • Runs on IBM hardware and provides extensive hardware inventory and basic software distribution (RDM) • Integrates with Tivoli enterprise systems management solutions, including configuration management and event management • Integration with Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator, including providing performance and configuration data and integration with RDM, elemental server configuration and imaging

  39. Systems Provisioning – The Topology • The logical 3-tier environment is working together as follows • The Management Server executes workflows, sends commands to a Managed-through server • The Managed-through Server provisions servers from the server pool into a configured state (and back) • The Provisioned Servers can have two states: either member of the resource pool or installed and configured and running business transactions.

  40. TPM 2.1  Connect machine to switch (manual)   Through Netview and Common Inventory technology, TPM discovers machine and assigns it into the Linux Resource Pool (some once-off manual steps) Workflows MgmtServer  Linux Pool Web Commerce Configure Switch fabric (IP & Storage)  Through Application topology templates and workflows, the machine is deployed into production (automated steps) Install incremental software stack (inc code and content)  Reference application topology Configure Switch fabric (new IP details & Storage) Install software stack (inc patches) Configure network fabric (new VLAN, ALC, loadbalancer) Through workflows, the machine is repurposed (capturing logs and / or sensitive data) back to the resource pools  Configure network fabric (VLAN, ACL)  Systems Provisioning - Example Scenario

  41. Automation Packages (drivers) enable the modeling of the managed resources in the DCM Collection of commands, scripts, workflows and logical operations that applies to the operation of a specific device (server..) or software component Workflows trigger Automation Package functions Important Automation Package: eServer Platform Provisioning (ePP) Predefined and tested in IBM labs Advantage of eServer compared to other vendors Inside TPM: Automation Packages (Drivers)

  42. An automation package consists of an archive file that holds all the files required for one or more data model extensions. Includes workflows, scripts and documentation. All files needed to manage a certain resource type. Naming convention: <name>.tcdriver TPM comes with a set of standard automation packages for standard functions like installation of an operating system or enabling a VLAN port Some examples: NIM.tcdriver: AIX installation with NIM CSM-Linux-Install.tcdriver: Provision Red Hat OS through CSM IBM-RDM.tcdriver: Provision Windows OS through IBM Director and Remote Deployment Manager zvm.tcdriver: Provision OS as guests under z/VM Provisioning Automation Packages Background and Samples
