IMS Trends and Direction

1. IMS Trends and Direction Larry Lange Program Director, Business DevelopmentIMS Development IBM Silicon Valley Laboratory June 2008

2. Trends and Technologies driving today’s IT landscape • Virtualization • Progressive renovation vs. rip and replace • SOA • Java • SQL • XML • Web 2.0 mash-ups • … • All supported in IMS • Yes, we are talking about IMS! It’s not your grandfather’s IMS anymore

3. Information On Demand and SOATwo sides of the same coin… SOA provides business flexibilityIOD provides the trusted information needed by your services “You will waste your investment in SOA unless you have enterprise information that SOA can exploit.” – Gartner Research

4. IMS: The High-Performance Application and Data Server for System z • Integration focal point for SOA: key to a successful Enterprise Architecture • Remarkable performance • Rock-solid reliability and security • Most cost efficient run-time environment • Integrated message queuing, transaction processing and data base management • Open, standard interfaces allowing ‘any-to-any’ connectivity and access • Fully integrated into today’s A/D toolsets • Natural XML support • Robust runtime support including JAVA, C, COBOL, PLI and Assembler • Learn more here at www.ibm.com/ims Unix

5. Workload, Performance, Cost Efficiency Unix Servers Hierarchy of Application Servers Mainframe Servers z/OS Windows/Linux • Cross-enterprise community • Extremely stable and reliable environment • Mixed workload • Highest levels of performance, security, availability, system resiliency • More cost-efficient run-time environment • Smaller, dedicated communities • Often changing • Single purpose • Predictable workload

6. Interesting Facts about IMS • A viable, thriving business • Development capacity is growing! • Customers are increasing their IMS usage • IMS growth keeping pace with CICS and DB2 for z/OS • Many customers are modernizing IMS applications – with IMS!

7. Performance When it Counts Hundreds of thousands of customers are late as servers slow to a crawl… Meltdown – computers are over- whelmed at deadline… Our IMS systems help BNP Paribas process 24 million banking transactions a day for our web users and our branch offices. IMS has provided the speed we need to run our business! Sylvie Nicpon Mainframe Architect Group Mgr BNP Paribas

8. IMS Runs the World... A large and loyal IMS installed base. Rock-solid reputa- tion of a transac- tional workhorse for very large workloads. Successfully proven in large, Web-based applications. IMS is still a viable, even unmatched, platform to implement very large OLTP systems, and, in combination with Web Application Server technology, it can be a foundation for a new generation of Web-based, high-workload applications. 3M MIPS running IMS 15M GB Production Data managed by IMS 50B Transactions/day through IMS 200M Users a day served by IMS >100M - Gartner Group IMS Transactions/day by one customer on single system

14. Customer Workload by Version V10 V6 +below • V10 in production during QPP • V10 ramping up quickly • V9 GA Oct 2004, predominate version in customer usage today • V8end of service is Nov 2008 • IMS allows skip version upgrade V7 V8 V9 IMS Workload by Version

15. IMS Roadmap Most new releases every 2-3 years • IMS V9 GA October 2004, IMS V8 GA October 2002 • IMS V10 QPP started Jan 2007 • IMS V10 GA October 2007 • IMS V10+1 now in development/test • IMS V10+2 “on the drawing board” Two current supported field releases • N-2 release out of service 1 year after current release GA Key focus areas for new versions • Scalability, performance, throughput, RAS • Ease of use, automation, lessen skill requirement • SOA application integration, standards, compliance

16. IMS SOA Strategy • Protect customer investments by making it easy and cost efficient to reuse and modernize IMS applications and data • Fully integrate with WebSphere/Rational servers and tooling in a service-oriented architecture (SOA) environment • Encourage new application development by supporting standards – e.g. XML, SOAP, Java, JDBC, etc.

17. Congratulations to Wachovia at IOD 2007: Best SOA Integration of IMS A major part of Wachovia's SOA environment is supported by IBM WebSphere, IMS software and IBM eServer zSeries hardware.
