Server virtualization and consolidation of “low hanging fruit” Virtualization of business critical applications, database and desktops Private cloud enabling IT as a Service The majority of all x86 workloads will be virtualized by the end of 2010 and by mid 2011 Benefits CapEx OpEx Challenges Consolidation Benefits Quality of Service Decrease in Provisioning Time Challenges Availability Application Performance Benefits Zero-touch Operation Best Quality of Service Challenges Compliance Time to Market Clients are running more, larger, and mission critical workloads as virtual machines
9. With increased virtualization and larger workloads, memory and I/O become the new bottleneck While cores per CPU keep increasing with each generation, system memory and I/O flexibility have not kept up. Now, virtualization requires systems with large memory footprint and flexible I/O in order to drive maximum VM agility

Editor's Notes
On September 27 th 2010, IBM announced a definitive agreement to acquire BLADE Network Technologies (BLADE), a systems networking software and high-speed networking devices company that provides blade server and top-of-rack switches as well as software to virtualize and manage cloud computing and other workloads. The acquisition is subject to the completion of applicable regulatory reviews and other customary closing conditions. We have worked with BNT for years to provide thousands of clients with networking solutions made up of BladeCenter and System x. We have worked with BLADE at all levels to ensure we go after the competition in a cohesive and complementary fashion that serves the needs of our clients. As a strategic IBM investment, BLADE offers proven and sustainable innovation in networking technology that enables highly interconnected systems. We know BLADE can significantly help our clients with the support skills necessary to build smarter systems. This acquisition is about leveraging BLADE products and technology to ultimately do a better job of offering high-value IBM networking solutions. At the same time, we will continue to work with existing networking partners to offer clients a choice for workload optimized networking solutions. Our clients and Business Partners continue to tell us this is an important value-adding requirement for x86 solutions. This is evidenced by the worldwide top-of-rack networking estimate of $1.5 billion in 2010. As a result, it is imperative that you familiarize yourself with the BLADE acquisition materials so you can begin to leverage this acquisition in client engagements and future leadership offerings. Networking is essential to our System x business and will continue to play an important role in our success. For more information on System x networking sales opportunities contact David Tareen (tareen@us.ibm.com).

Network Virtualization - VMready™ software on the switch helps reduce configuration complexity while significantly improving security levels in virtualized environments. VMready automatically detects virtual machine movement from one physical server to another, and instantly reconfigures each VM’s network policies across VLANs to keep the network up and running without interrupting traffic or impacting performance. . Virtual Fabric for IBM - providing improved performance, availability and security while reducing cost and complexity.

Slide 11: The new thinking from IBM… Introducing the eX5 Portfolio The eX5 portfolio unleashes true enterprise-class capability to deliver unprecedented x86 energy efficiency, utilization and systems management. IBM accomplishes this through a number of exclusive eX5 technologies designed to maximize memory, minimize cost and simplify deployment. MAX5 provides unparalleled x86 memory capacity….eXFlash delivers extreme internal storage performance….and FlexNode allows a single system to dynamically become two distinct systems or back again. eX5 delivers an entirely new way of thinking about x86 systems….exemplifies competitive advantage….and completely changes the game in x86 computing.
Expand memory capacity, with or without adding more processors – you choose Up to double the number of memory DIMMs Up to 3TB memory in an 8-socket system Up to 192 DIMMs, all running at 1066MHz MAX5 Memory Latency is similar to the local CPU socket Current processors use a Home snoop protocol, which means snoop results are sent to the memory address owner, not the requester The local CPU must wait for snoop results. MAX5’s snoop filter allows it to return memory reads immediately - it already knows the snoop result Over five times the memory capacity in two sockets vs. today’s leading two-socket systems MAX5 memory may be partitioned to CPUs or pooled, depending on workload needs and OS requirements Provides the memory customers have needed for database and virtualization – up to 100% more virtual machines Allows higher memory capacity to be reached with less expensive DIMMs for more economical high end implementations
Here are 2 great examples how customers can save with eX5. First – the IBM x3690 X5 has double the amount of DIMM slots which mean customers can get 281 virtual machines vs. the competitor’s 158. OR Customers can save 50% of the license cost with the same number of virtual machines. In this scenario, the customer needs 320 virtual machines. In order to attain this number our competitors must sell them a 4-socket server to get to 64 DIMMs. Keep in mind that VMWare charges per socket so that means 4 licenses. However, with IBM’s x3690 X5, customers can get the same 320 virtual machines on our 2-socket rack server, cutting the VMWare costs in half. Truly amazing!!
