Mainframes are expensive
There’s nothing new in mainframes
ISV’s aren’t enthusiastic
Mainframe skills aren’t available
Mainframes aren’t flexible
Dispelling the myths
Mainframes aren’t expensive
Mainframes are up to date

FIbre CONnection (Introduced with s/390 G5 Processors Multi-mode operation: FCV, Native, or FCP (Fibre Channel Protocol)
– Linux connectivity to SCSI via FCP Data transfer characteristics:
– Full duplex data traffic (one-way in ESCON)
– Up to 4Gbs data transfer speed (with FICON Express 4)
– Peak of 270MB per second aggregate data transfer
– More than 10,000 I/O per second (500 with ESCON)
– Concurrent I/Os can occur to/from controllers, unlike ESCON’s sequential I/O processing
Can uses FICON switches, similar function to ESCON Director, or direct connect

SOA and the Mainframe
• Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)
• A business-centric IT architectural approach that supports integrating your business as linked, repeatable business tasks, or services.
• SOA helps users build composite applications, which are applications that draw upon functionality from multiple sources within and beyond the enterprise to support horizontal business processes
IBM Software Group
24
A hub for data and SOA -
massive scalability centralized management
Built upon a strong foundation:
► Security-rich, Resilient, and Virtualized capabilities
► 40 years of data serving heritage
Broad set of Open and industry standards
XML
Designed to deliver:
Greater value from mainframe assets
Lower marginal cost of growth
New capabilities faster
Greater flexibility to meet new business opportunities ( Both for Customer & Software Vendors )
AOV0406_110
System z is designed for data serving and SOA

The ‘Green’ Mainframe
IBM System z9 BCHelp reduce your Carbon Footprint
Replace 60 Intel-powered servers with a single z9 BC could save 160,944 kWh each year (that’s a per year reduction of 69 tonnes of CO2 emissions!).
(source – www.carbonneutral.com)
That is the equivalent CO2 reduction as performed by a mature forest the size of 17 football pitches.

Same as general purpose CPU’s exceptlimited to specific uses zAAP runs any Java workload zIIP runs specified data base workloads IFL runs Linux (natively or under VM)
Hardware is $95K–$125K one time charge Approximately 14% of general purpose price No charge for software running on zAAP/zIIP IBM software running on IFL is priced
per IFL processor (not per image) Free upgrade to next generation!
In typical scenarios, zAAP/zIIP can reduce annual (software) charges by 37% and OTC charges (hardware and software) by 43%

Consider a transactional environment that would execute on a 2-processor z9 EC mainframe (1132 MIPS).
In this example, with zAAP, the annual (software) charges are reduced by 37% and OTC charges (hardware and software) are reduced by 43%
They may be additional savings if sub-capacity pricing were used

Consolidation to System z
The cost is now $274,122 when using Linux for System z and an IFL Speciality engine.
