System z addresses Enterprise mobile development and delivery challenges

• Highly fragmented set of devices, platforms, languages, and tools complicates development, test, and operations

Fragmentation and developing for multiple mobile platforms

• Accelerated development demands instant provisioning of development servers.

• Spikey mobile traffic demands highly scalable cloud-based infrastructures, for both SoE and SoR.

Accelerated time to market requirements

• Apps typically need to leverage existing enterprise services, which must be made mobile-consumable, and remain secure.

• Enterprise systems must be able to instantly provision new services and environments.

Connecting apps with existing enterprise systems

IBM Worklight Studio and RDz

• Seamless integration with z data and transactions.

• Device runtime provides mobile device independence.

System z Scalability

• System z Linux cloud enables rapid provisioning of Worklight servers.

• z/OS is the leader in transaction processing and easily scalable to handle workload increases.

z/OS is mobile enabled

• z/OS subsystems are mobile-ready, with consumability enhancements planned. Eg: MongoDB API for DB2

• End to end mobile security.• High-performance access from z/Linux



19

System z Unique Characteristics to support Mobile Applications Easy-to-consume APIs from CICS, DB2, IMS allow you to leverage your

investment in z/OS transactions to quickly add a mobile channel. z/OS enables massive and simple scalability in a single footprint, to handle the

workload of millions of devices and sensors Worklight security integrates with z/OS security providing end-to-end security

and data privacy for mobile apps. z/OS Workload Management ensures your crucial applications remain

responsive during sharp spikes in demand. Low-latency access to critical enterprise data. Mobile usage patterns favor short, read-only data

requests (Users check account balances) So fast access to operational data, with low latency, is key. The mainframe offers exceptional I/O with dedicated hardware I/O processors. This reduces latency, which increases mobile app response times.

Business Resiliency for critical mobile apps

“70% of mobile applications touch a mainframe system”

Infrastructure matters for mobile applications. The System z platform’s scalability, security, and resilience can enhance critical mobile applications.



20

Why run Worklight Server on System z Linux?

For the same reasons you run web apps there for over a decade:

Co-location of the Worklight server application with data and transactions on z/OS reduces the latency of access to z/OS data. Hipersockets provides the lowest latency communication between Worklight apps and z/OS SOR. Hipersockets eliminates the need to encrypt traffic between Worklight and z/OS.

Availability and scalability of z/Linux as an environment for both Worklight dev/test and production.

Hardware encryption speeds SSL applications

All the traditional advantages of consolidating multiple distributed servers onto z/Linux -- Reduce data center footprint, WAS software license savings, simpler management, energy savings.

We recommend running Worklight Server in System z Linux for data-rich applications that will heavily leverage data and transactions from z/OS.See this wiki for more rationale for WL on z.

First National Bank (FNB)Achieving sub-second response for hundreds of millions of monthly transactions on the mainframeMobile and IMS

The need: The ubiquity and convenience of cellphones and tablets as computing devices represented a clear growth opportunity for FNB; in South Africa, more people have cellphones and smart mobile devices than bank accounts. FNB wanted to launch a reliable, secure and highly responsive mobile channel before its competitors, and looked for a platform that would enable very short time-to-market.

The solution:FNB integrated a new Java-based mobile front-end directly with tried-and-trusted business logic and core banking services running on IBM® Information Management System (IMS™) on an IBM zEnterprise® EC12 server. IBM IMS Enterprise Suite Connect APIs for Java and C and IBM IMS Enterprise Suite SOAP Gateway manage links between the channel applications and core functionality and data on the mainframe.

The benefit: Rapid deployment enabled FNB to gain first-mover advantage in the market,

gaining the number one spot for mobile banking

Ultra-low average end-to-end response times of 30 milliseconds ensure snappy performance for mobile banking users

Fast, secure and reliable mobile banking generates more business for FNB and reduces its average cost per transaction

“We don’t start from the premise that the mainframe is best; rather, we look at the requirements—big data, huge numbers of concurrent processes, high performance, high scalability, high security—and then look at what technology can deliver all of those things. The answer is IBM zEnterprise and IMS.”

BMW GroupDevelops eco-friendly innovation for smart driversMobile and DB2

The need:

World-leading car manufacturer BMW Group wanted to develop sustainable and smarter driving strategies, in line with the market’s pressing requests. The company knew that any difficulties in managing the mountain of data created by these mobile applications would mean risking to lose business opportunities.

The solution:

BMW Group implemented IBM® DB2® 11 for z/OS®, which offers optimized management of information and workload and enhanced cost savings. Furthermore, the company is soon planning to leverage the latest-generation IBM zEnterprise® EC12 mainframe.

The benefit: Enabled BMW Group to allocate resources to the development of

new mobility strategies, rather than database management.

Supported continuous workload increase on a 24/7 basis.

Reduced CPU usage by 8-13 percent, improving cost-efficiency.

“Despite still being very early in our performance testing, we have already seen CPU reductions of 8-13 percent on some of the workloads, thanks to the more efficient decompression algorithms that IBM DB2 allows us to run.”

Tesco PLCTesco gets 16-day ROI for Worklight on System z mobile solution with CICSMobile and CICS

The need:

Tesco differentiates itself is its network of distribution centers, which use advanced technology to support a modern, efficient and cost-effective supply chain. Distribution center managers had to access this Denver system from a terminal in an office, and then make a number of journeys across the massive facilities to work with their teams in the fulfillment process, and do so without real-time access to data.

The solution:

Worklight on Linux on System z – used existing CICS transactions -- allowed Tesco’s distribution center managers to access warehouse information on a mobile device, accessible at all 25 centers and throughout each 500,000 square foot facility. With the IBM Worklight solution on Linux on System z, Tesco managers will now have contextual data in an easy-to-read, mobile-rendered format, and be able to make accurate deployment decisions with real-time data as they move through the facilities.

The benefit: The indicative results of the POC demonstrated cost savings of

about $2.45 million per year, which equated to an approximate return on investment of only 16 days.
