Popular Solution Areas for IBM Power Systems

 Oracle
 For Nine out of the last Eleven Oracle Fiscal Quarters IBM System p
has:
 Delivered more UNIX based revenue ($$) to Oracle than any other
technology provider.
 Delivered more UNIX based new licenses (share) to Oracle than
any other technology provider
 SAP
 #1 SAP Unix Platform
 Data Warehousing/Business Intelligence
 SOA
 Transaction Processing Systems
 CPU Intensive Applications
 IBM’s Support Computers are all based on Power

13
When Power Servers – with AIX/Linux
When you need one or more of
 Customer requires/prefers/has UNIX / AIX these:
 Performance
 Scalability
 High Scalability Required  Advanced Virtualization
 UNIX
 Architectural Flexibility
 High Availability Requirement
 Highly Reliable Hardware (mainframe-originated RAS features)
 Fully Redundant
 Maximum Performance

 Improved Hardware Utilization

 Logical partitions (LPARs); Dynamic LPARs; Micro-Partitioning


 Virtual I/O Server with Shared I/O Resources
 Lower TCO vs Competitors – more work with less processors, lower
software license costs.
 Better ROI

 #1 IBM Platform for SAP (largest number of installations)

14
IBM i is an integral part of Power Systems
The 2008 unification of the former System i
and System p product lines was the end result
of years of effort. Power Systems hardware
offers a simplified ordering structure for all
IBM midrange computer systems.

System i has a long history based on the


principles of:
 Code reuse
Code written in 1975 still runs today, leveraging
the latest hardware
 Integration
Database, printing, communications and more
are integrated into the server
 Simplicity
Designed for business & ease of operation
Security
The object oriented structure of i is inherently
secure
15
Typical Applications
Typical applications range across the board. With literally thousands of IBM and Business
Partner offerings, the odds are, if you can do it, you can do it on IBM i!

Application development in multiple languages


Business Integration across the enterprise
Commerce for both brick & mortar and e-business
Database and data management with highly compliant DB2
Networking and communications built in
Portals and collaboration with Rational, Lotus and WebSphere products
Systems management with the latest in GUI and Web based tools
Web and Application Servers, both proprietary and open source
