The Planned x86 Server Acquisition Will Create Increased Value for Customers**
“The success of a similar transition between IBM and Lenovo in 2005 suggests the two vendors will once again be able to drive synergies for the 2014 x86 server transition, resulting in improved acquisition costs, ongoing product quality , and strong services and support that come together to create i ncreased value for customers .”

* Based on a 2:1 server consolidation from improved performance, and reduced hardware and licensing cost by replacing 28.8TB of external SAN with 3.2TB of internal eXFlash DIMM storage on the server, reducing top-of-rack switching and networking hardware, and managing performance with IBM FlashCache and Storage Accelerator software. Prices as of 2/18/2014.** Up to 28% savings in acquisition cost is based on a comparison of an x3850 X6 (using the modular design) vs. a traditional rack design with no modularity. Based on projected Q1 2014 pricing of x3850 X6 configuration with 2 Compute Books, Storage Book with 1.2TB SAS, dual 1400W power supplies, 10GbE SFP+ networking, and no optional I/O Books.*** 6TB maximum memory vs. 2TB or less for previous-generatoin competitive 4-socket servers.

The X6 Technology Solution
Faster application performance through scalable storage performance
� IBM eXFlash Memory Channel Storage gives clients the ability to integrate an ultra-low latency cache with the processor directly from the memory bus – significantly higher IOPs and storage capacity without compromising performance
� Differentiated features exclusive to IBM� WriteNow provides the ability to commit data earlier – reducing latency
50% more than other memory channel storage� RAID 1 provides protection for the most critical data in the largest cache in the server

Innovation that Matters – flexible port mapping
IBM before flexible port mapping
� Buy a base module with port license entitlement –internally and externally
� Features on Demand – buy upgrade license to turn on additional ports• Required for 4/8 port adapters
� Enhancements on top of Features on Demand!� Ability to reallocate ports
• Reallocate ports internal/external• Trade off lower bandwidth ports for high bandwidth. Example
trade 4x10Gb for a single 40Gb without having to purchase additional licenses that has 40Gb
� Advantage areas – clients that need• One compute node/blade with a 4-port adapter – only the
base model needed• One compute node/blade with 6 ports of 10GbE – only the
base model needed• Flex System x222 is supported with the base• 40Gb external uplinks are supported with the base model

IBM Flex System Interconnect Fabric
What is it?…
� Simple Ethernet Fabric cluster
� Loop free design with no spanning tree
� Scalable multi-chassis, multi-rack interconnect fabric infrastructure
Customer Importance…
� Rapidly deploy additional chassis or racks – configure the Fabric once
� Reduce networking management complexity without compromising performance – manage 1 device vs 20
� 95%1 reduction in the number of networking devices required to manage a 9 chassis, 3 rack configuration
� ZERO2 down time for service upgrades
� ZERO3 additional Flex System CAPEX to implement – use existing SI4093 and G8264CS Flex System HW
� Support for Ethernet, iSCSI and FCoE protocols
� Proven interoperability with other vendors core network like Cisco and Juniper
IBM importance…� IBM based design to compete against HP, Cisco, Dell and others
� Helps IBM build better POD based solutions for our clients
� Simplifies the connectivity of IBM Flex System offerings
Delivering a simplified Fabric Infrastructure to accelerate deployment with optimum efficiency
1 1 G8264CS Switch vs 20 Devices (2 G8264CS’s and 18 SI4093’s) 2 master switch provides in service upgrades to all 18 devices 3 G8264CS and SI4093 are the only modules enabled for the fabric infrastructure

5 At PureSystems Academy I tried to summarize with describing the mission behind why we built FSM. Maybe it would go well here? "...to provide best-of-breed experience in managing physical/virtual resources across compute/storage/network, optimizing those reosurces so clients business-critical workloads can thrive"Greg Hintermeister; 26/11/2012
