  3. Introduction to VirtualizationDefinition and Benefits • Virtualization • Technology enabling the ability to run multiple operating systems and applications on the same hardware at the same time. • Benefits of Virtualization • Optimize IT Center Assets • Enhance utilization while consolidating servers • Reduce IT Center Costs • Lower utility and maintenance costs with fewer servers • Increase availability and continuity • Enhance archive, recovery and migration activities • Improve flexibility and agility • Enhance server allocation and provisioning • Improve desktop management and security • Enhance desktop allocation and provisioning

  4. Introduction to VirtualizationVirtual Machine and Virtual Appliance • Virtual Machine • An isolated software container created by virtualization containing all the hardware resources (cpu, memory, network and storage) which requires the installation of an operating system and required software stack. • Virtual Appliance • A unified offering of just enough operating system and an application stack pre-installed, integrated and tested for a specific purpose or intent

  5. Introduction to VirtualizationDeployment Options • Desktop • Deploy your virtual machines and virtual appliances to desktop environments to enhance desktop optimization and versatility using desktop virtualization products; • Enterprise • Deploy your virtual machines and virtual appliances to consolidated server environments in your business to enhance IT center optimization, versatility and manageability using virtual infrastructure products; • Cloud • Deploy your virtual machines and virtual appliances to emerging cloud computing environments to extend your IT center reach and simplify deployment and manageability;

  28. IBM Confidential The Welcome page of IDS va The welcome page of the virtual appliance is displayed at startup and is a good starting point for new IDS virtual appliance users. You can find detailed information about the IDS virtual appliance and useful links to other information sources:

  29. IBM Confidential First Steps • In order to get started quickly with IDS 11.50 software development, a special folder (/opt/IBM/informix/FirstSteps) is provided that contains topic-specific subfolders: • IDS Detective Game – contains the game that can be played to practice using SQL in IDS • Java – contains a sample java program and tutorial about how to use Java with IDS • PHP – contains a sample PHP program and tutorial about how to use PHP with IDS • Data Studio – contains one lab that guides you through basic functionalities of Data Studio.

  30. IBM Confidential DBACCESS SQL Editor The dbaccess SQL Editor is a handy link to the IDS 11.50 dbaccess user interface for entering, executing, and debugging SQL statements and SPL routines:

  31. IBM Confidential IBM Data Studio IBM Data Studio is an integrated data management and development environment for designing, developing, deploying, and managing data-driven applications. You can use either IBM Java Common Client or Informix JDBC driver with IDS 11.50.

  32. IBM Confidential Open Admin Tool Open Admin Tool (OAT) is an open-source web-based administration tool for the IBM Informix Database Server V11 and above. It allows the administration and monitoring of local and remote IDS instances from a single administration console.

  33. IBM Confidential Terminal with IDS Environment setup • You can manage the demo_on instance by running the following scripts as user “informix”: • . createDemo - re-creates the demo instance from scratch • . removeDemo - deletes all database files associated with the demo instance. • . startDemo - starts the demo instance. • . stopDemo - stops the demo instance. • . setDemo - sets the environment variables for the demo instance Note, the above scripts don’t run in a C-shell. • The IDS virtual appliance is pre-configured with the demo_on instance, which includes two demo databases: • stores demo database • Idsgame database for IDS Detective Game (found in First Steps) • The demo_on instance is started or stopped automatically when the virtual appliance is started or stopped.

  34. IBM Confidential Demo of Using IDS va in Amazon EC2 • Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) presents a virtual computing environment. This demo will show you how the IDS va works as an Amazon EC2 AMI: • Launching an IDS va AMI instance • Configuring the IDS va AMI instance • Using OpenAdmin Tool on the IDS va AMI instance

  35. IBM Confidential Launching an IDS va AMI instance • This demo will launch an IDS va AMI instance based one of the existing IDS va AMIs in Amazon EC2 previously created for this demo. You can find out more information about how to create an AMI image at Amazon EC2 wetsite. • There are two ways you can launch an IDS va AMI instance: • Amazon AWS Management Console at • https://console.aws.amazon.com/ • Amazon Command Line Tools • This demo will use the Console for simplicity reason.

  36. Configuring the IDS va AMI instance • Once the instance is running, it needs to be configured. • This demo will use putty.exe from a Windows machine to connect to the instance and configure the AMI instance. IBM Confidential October 2008 36
