IBM i – IBM Commitment

"Many of our largest clients run their

critical workloads on IBM i, and I don't

see that fundamentally changing,”

Balog says.

“We have a long roadmap that goes out

at least 10 years from a development

standpoint, and it is only 10 years

because I can't see beyond 10. We will

keep innovating and providing

capabilities around IBM i.

IBM i Application Development Strategy

• Modernization

– User Interface

– Languages

– Methodologies

– Tools

– Data Access

– Security


IBM i Application Languages Strategy

• RPG is the most commonly used language on IBM i so

–Enable RPG as a powerful, modern procedural language

–Partner for tools which transform older RPG to modern RPG

–Work with partners & schools to teach RPG to non-RPG developers quickly

• Extensive skills and catalogs of solutions exist for business in other languages

–Support key industry languages and programming models on IBM i

–Ensure those new approaches can integrate with existing IBM i solutions

–Enable tools for development, debug, lifecycle – from IBM and from partners


RPG is still popular, but it’s fair to say that we have a good mix of others.

IBM-Nvidia Servers Achieve High-Performance Computing

Milestone In Oil Industry

• In February, Exxon Mobil bragged it had

reached a major computing breakthrough in its

industry. Across 716,800 processors (that's 32

processors on 22,400 servers)…

• But when Vincent Natoli, president of tiny Bel

Air, Maryland-based reservoir simulation

software company Stone Ridge Technology,

heard of Exxon's accomplishment, he knew he

could do better.

• 30 IBM servers consisting of 60 IBM

processors along with 120 Nvidia graphics

processors.

EnterpriseDB on Power Systems Price-Performance Guarantee

• •

IBM Power Systems guarantees the S822LC for Big Data system built with POWER8 delivers at least a 1.8X price-performance advantage versus x86 based servers when running a virtualized customer application/workload based on EnterpriseDB Postgres 9.5.

1.8X price-performance means that the customer's documented throughput performance on the S822LC POWER8 divided by the sum of the price ofthe system and associated EnterpriseDB licenses will be at least 1.8 times that of the customer's documented throughput performance on the x86based system divided by the sum of the price of the comparable x86 system and associated EnterpriseDB licenses

EX: If transactions per second on the S822LC are 18,000 and 10,000 on the x86 based system, while the price of the S822LC and associatedEnterpriseDB licenses is $10,000, and the price of the x86 based system and associated EnterpriseDB licenses is $10,000, then the ThroughputPerformance Per Price would be exactly 1.8 times advantaged and the guaranty would be met."

Notes:

1. Client’s POWER8 Machine and the x86 Machine must be running at similar utilization rates. Eligible Machine and the Compared Machine must be partitioned with at least 4 equal sized partitions.

2. Client’s POWER8 Machine’s system performance cannot be constrained by I/O subsystem. Specifically, the I/O subsystem on the POWER8 Machines must achieve greater than or equal I/O bandwidth and operations per second than the x86 Machine.

3. Client’s POWER8 Machine’s physical memory must be the same or greater than the physical memory on the x86 Machine

4. Client is responsible for demonstrating comparable real-world representative workload between the POWER8 Machine and the x86 Machine through the use of the IBM provided tools and comparable tools on x86 systems.

5. 1.8x guarantee is based on list price for the x86 based server (Dell, Cisco,or HP) and list price for the IBM S822LC for Big Data.

6. EnterpriseDB Postgres Advanced Server 9.5 license are priced at $1750 per core - EDB 9.5 http://www.enterprisedb.com/products-services-training/subscriptions-power

The IBM Power S822LC for Big Data server (20-core/2.92 GHz 256GB memory, 4 TB SATA Storage) must be purchased from IBM or an authorized IBM Business

Partner prior to March 31, 2017. The guarantee period is valid for three (3) months from the date of purchase. The x86 based systems must be comparably

configured branded servers from Cisco, Dell, or HP and the client is responsible for all EnterpriseDB licenses.

1.8 X price-performance means that the customer's documented throughput performance on the S822LC POWER8 divided by the sum of the price of the system

and associated EnterpriseDB licenses will be at least 1.8 times that of the customer's documented throughput performance on the x86 based system divided by the

sum of the price of the comparable x86 system and associated EnterpriseDB licenses

Remediation: IBM will provide additional performance optimization and tuning services consistent with IBM Best Practices, at no charge. If unable to reach

guaranteed level of price-performance, IBM will provide additional equally configured systems to those already purchased to reach the guaranteed level of price-

performance.

http://www.enterprisedb.com/products-services-training/subscriptions-power


MongoDB on POWER8 Price-Performance Guarantee

• • •

IBM Power Systems guarantees the Power S822LC for Big Data system built with POWER8 delivers at least a 2X price-performance advantage vs. x86 based servers when running a customer application/workload based on MongoDB.

2X price-performance means that the customer's documented throughput performance on the S822LC POWER8 divided by the price of the system will be at least 2 times higher than the customer's documented throughput performance on the x86 based system divided by the price of the comparable

x86 system.

EX: If transactions per second on the S822LC are 20,000 and 10,000 on the x86 based system, while the price of the S822LC is $10,000, and the price ofthe x86 based system is $10,000, then the Throughput Performance Per Price would be exactly 2 times higher and the guaranty would be met."

Notes:

1. Client’s POWER8 Machine and the x86 Machine must be running at similar utilization rates.

2. Client’s POWER8 Machine’s system performance cannot be constrained by I/O subsystem. Specifically, the I/O subsystem on the POWER8 Machines must achieve greater than or equal I/O bandwidth and operations per second than the x86 Machine.

3. Client’s POWER8 Machine’s physical memory must be the same or greater than the physical memory on the x86 Machine

4. Client is responsible for demonstrating comparable real-world representative workload between the POWER8 Machine and the x86 Machine through the use of the IBM provided tools and comparable tools on x86 systems.

5. This guarantee applies only to server sales in North America only.

6. 1.8x guarantee is based on a discounted list price (maximum discount 35%) for the x86 based server (Dell, Cisco, HP or Lenovo) and a discounted list price (maximum discount 15%) for the IBM S822LC for Big Data.

The IBM Power S822LC for Big Data server (20-core/2.92 GHz 128GB memory, 4 TB SATA Storage) must be purchased from IBM or an authorized IBM Business

Partner prior to March 31, 2017. The guarantee period is valid for three (3) months from the date of purchase. The x86 based systems must be comparably

configured branded servers from Cisco, Dell, HP, or Lenovo and the client is responsible for all MongoDB licenses.

2 X throughput performance per price means that the customer's documented throughput performance on the S822LC POWER8 system based on either queries,

operations or transactions per second divided by the price of the such system will be at least 2 times higher than the customer's same documented throughput

performance on the x86 based system divided by the price of such comparable x86 system.

Remediation: IBM will provide additional performance optimization and tuning services consistent with IBM Best Practices, at no charge. If unable to reach

guaranteed level of price-performance, IBM will provide additional equally configured systems to those already purchased to reach the guaranteed level of price-

performance.

• •

IBM Power Systems guarantees the Power S822LC for Big Data system built with POWER8 delivers at least a 3X price-performance

advantage vs. x86 based results when running a customer application/workload with Tez/Hive LLAP on Hortonworks HDP under the

conditions noted below. A Worker Node is a server carrying out the HDP query functions, with one Worker Node per server.

3X price-performance means that the customer's documented throughput performance on the cluster of S822LC for Big Data Worker Nodes divided by the price of the cluster of Worker Nodes will be at least 3 times higher than the customer's documented throughput performance on the cluster of x86 based

Worker Nodes divided by the price of the cluster of x86 Worker Nodes.

EX: If queries per second on the cluster of S822LC Worker Nodes are 30,000 and 10,000 on the cluster of x86 based Worker Nodes, while the price of the S822LC Worker Node cluster is$10,000, and the price of the x86 based Worker Node cluster is $10,000, then the Throughput Performance Per Price would be exactly 3 times higher and the guarantee would be met."

Notes:

1. Client’s Power S822LC for BD Worker Nodes and the x86 Worker Nodes must be running at similar utilization rates of at least 50% or higher, using the same software stack as described in Note #4, and which are configured similarly.

2. Client’s Power S822LC for BD performance cannot be constrained by I/O subsystem. Specifically, the I/O subsystem on the Power S822LC for BD Worker Node must achieve greater than or equal I/O bandwidth and operations per second than

the x86 Worker Node.

3. Client’s Power S822LC for BD Worker Node’s physical memory must be the same or greater than the physical memory on the x86 Worker Node.

4. Applicable software stack is Tez/Hive LLAP on HDP 2.6 or later for both the Power S822LC and x86-based Worker Nodes.

5. Client is responsible for demonstrating comparable real-world representative workload between the Power S822LC for BD Worker Node and the x86 Worker Node through the use of the IBM provided tools and comparable tools on x86 systems.

Statement of Direction for transition to high-end POWER9 systems

• IBM plans to offer system upgrades from Power E870, E870C, E880, E880C

systems to the next generation high-end system with POWER9 processors,

when available. These upgrades are designed to maintain the serial number

of the existing POWER8 system.

• IBM intends to deliver the capability for the next generation high-end system

with POWER9 processors to participate in the same Power Enterprise Pool

with Power E870, E880, or E870C/E880C systems.

• New Mobile Processor and Memory activation features purchased on a

POWER8 system are planned to be eligible to convert and migrate to the next

generation high-end Power system at no additional charge.
