IBM System z Linux Virtualization Progress Established phased approach for quick winsPhase 1 Migrated initial servers from early ‘wave’ teams–––“Quick wins”Thousands of servers inventoriedMultiple successful migrations delivering benefits as expectedDecommission pipeline of hundreds of servers for reuse or removalPhase 2Highest Savings First Comprehensive project plan and management system in place–––Phase 3-nFinish VirtualizationIntegrated business priorities with transformational objectives‘Work in progress’ approach to maximize server migrationsPipeline, process, technical, finance and communications support Developed internal business case (RACE*)–Created detailed cash flow and labor analysis, migration expense, iterated Technical solution, education plan and operational plan developed–Built upon IBM prior consolidation/simplification efforts, utilizing IBM offerings and capabilities Highest level of support from IBM senior executive team*Formerly zRace9IBM Systems

IBM System z Linux Virtualization Progress IBM implementing New Enterprise Data Center through achievements in– Server and storage virtualization– Energy efficiency and resiliency improvements Benefits are on track with expectations– Migration management key– Business case is compelling– Using System z10 technology, the number of machines could be cut byabout half, with greater savings in energy, floor space, software andsupport costs Lessons Learned, including:– Enterprise strategy and sponsorship needed to drive business caseand execution– Compelling business imperative accelerates execution and drives support– Enterprise view of migration managed by waves drives experience;savings for investmentCumulative 5-Year CostComparisonDistributedCumz9 Cumulative1stYear2ndYear3rdYear4thYear5thYear IBM experience is driving Time to Value initiatives, integrated into IBM capabilities– Dramatic reduction in labor through new processes supporting workload migrations– Fall in/out analysis, working with business units, to close gaps in workload pipeline– Piloting new testing strategy, processes & tools to automate10IBM Systems

Virtualization Benefits are Significant; Migration Management is KeyExpected Benefits of VirtualizationLarge Scale Migration Challenges Exist Substantial savings in multipledimensions: energy, software andsystem support costs Decision-making: Integrating Enterpriseand Business Unit view 80% less energy, 85% less floor spacefor consolidated environment Improved inventory hygiene, includingapplication to server mapping Dramatically faster provisioning Improved security and resiliency Higher quality through reducedcomplexity, increased stability andavailability Mindset/Culture related to distributedand mainframe worlds Workload selection - multidimensionalnature of selection process Dated inventory records that are notcentrally maintained Detailed data required for internalbusiness case Project and program complexity –integrating multiple prioritiesClients are able to leverage IBM experience andcapabilities to accelerate value11IBM Systems

Business Case Leveraged RACE Tool, Iterative ApproachUtilized RACE commercial modeling tool– Foundation for internal business case, constructed specificenvironmental variables. Created financial plan for “known universe”– Identified relevant sample (5-10%) of most likely servers to be migratedand gathered financial profile information for eachEngaged SME’s within IBM– Provided business case assumptions (i.e. depreciation/maintenance),modified as appropriateIterative Process– Continuously engaged with core SME’s to ensure most currentinformationProject Metrics– Weekly report of migrated servers and their disposition status (reuse ordisposal using GARS*) and Energy Certificate status- Working to incorporate actuals into the Business Case such that wecan refresh our assumptions*IBM Global Asset Recovery Services12IBM Systems

Operationally, the goal is to minimize changewhile leveraging the capability of System zThe distributed and mainframe support teams collaborated with IBM’s Design Centerto develop the reference architecture and the basis for the operational approach Approach:– Adapt existing UNIX team processes– Engage z team to operate System z and z/OS – Broaden the VM/mainframe knowledge of the mid-range team through training, toassist in support of VM Hypervisor (z/VM ) and Linux– Use existing monitoring and operational tools, i.e. Tivoli Monitoring and Enterprise Portal VM Resource Manager Monitor and Performance Toolkit Administer Capacity, OS Provisioning and Software Distribution Tools20IBM Systems

Successful Techniques – Preparing for VirtualizationEnlist a Senior Executive SponsorSr. VP Linda Sanford, who manages Transformation for IBM isproviding enterprise leadership, working with Business Unit Sr. VPs.Motivate businessBuild an “incentive” ratesunitsFinancial benefit provides good incentive for support and teaming inproject execution. Reductions are being phased in during the projectwith differentiated rates.Build thebusiness caseStart with a high level planning estimateInitial estimates from RACE model were validated by the CFOthrough a detailed analysis of representative sample (5-10%) serversAugment inventories with network toolsGather data21Local and central Configuration Management DB neededaugmentation with network scans to gather configurations andapplication mapping.IBM Systems

Successful Techniques – Project Start-upMigrate a small set of servers for a fast startStart SmallRun r progresscontinuouslyAn initial Phase to immediately migrate a small number of serversworked well to build early experience.Use a dedicated teamIBM’s commercial migration practice is implementing most of themanagement and migration, minimizing the operational team’sresponsibility to Final Test, Environment Build and Cutover.Engage strong project management, end-to-end viewA structured management approach and broad, sustainedsponsorship from the business units are critical. Process approachwith clear handoffs will be monitored, measured and automated.Establish technical environment solutionDefine ReferenceArchitecture22Establish the "to be" environment solution and path into theenvironment utilizing a dedicated delivery team to enable theapplications to be managed into the new environment.IBM Systems

Successful Techniques – Project ExecutionLeverage existing process and adapt to new environmentIntegrate view ofwaves, resourcesCommunicatereal-time lessonsApplying a fast path approach to existing processes dramaticallyimproved time, flexibility to modify based on new platform. Committingresources at wave launch across infrastructure, test, apps, is key.Utilize internal collaboration toolsStakeholder lessons learned communications needed real-time duringproject. Ensure linkage across cadence, wiki, process flow tools.Establish enterprise criteria, shared strategyCreate enterpriseview of workload,server selectionAn enterprise view of migration, managed in waves, drives experienceand savings for investment. Workload selection considered acrossapps, infrastructure, common services and planning must include allCPU, I/O, storage and network demands.Drive cultural change through communication, collaborationAddress culturaland organizational Enterprise sponsorship and business unit support needed to drivebusiness case and execution. Compelling business imperativetransformationaccelerates execution and drives support. Training/support required.23IBM Systems
