Is There Any
Alternative To
Your Enterprise
UNIX Platform?
Why People
Like Their
UNIX systems?
Non-stop operation
Proven HW architecture
“Where is my server??”
Reliability
uptime
9:34am up 2050 day(s), 12:46, 2 users, load average: 2.27, 2.43, 2.55
SK Customer #1
SK Customer #2
SK Customer #3
OS optimized for HW
Multi-processing systems
Scalability
Internal bandwidth
OS tools and features
Performance and Utilization
Dynamic Reconfiguration
Direct access to HW
No performance impact
Mutlitenancy and application
security
Embedded Virtualization
Online replacement and
upgrades
Hot-pluggable “everything”
Long life support
Non-disruptive Maintenance
Costly to buy and maintain
Not user friendly
Dependency on proprietary UNIX
server environments
But…
Solution for your critical applications
Hitachi Compute
Blade
Hitachi LPAR Logical Partitioning
Co-Developed with INTEL since 2003
Logically divides physical compute resources
Implemented in firmware for security and stable
system performance
‒ Up to 30 LPARs per blade
Dedicated Mode
‒ High performance and isolated partitions for sensitive multitenant environments
Shared Mode
‒ Optimized utilization and dynamic load balancing
NEW! VMM on LPAR: http://www.hds.com/assets/pdf/hitachi-white-paper-high-performance-nested-virtualization-with-hitachi-lpar.pdf
RELIABLE HIGH PERFORMANCE VIRTUALIZED SERVER ENVIRONMENT
LPAR Migration w/o OS Shutdown & Reboot
Safe LPAR re-hosting (no data loss)
Dedicated and Dynamic mode supported
