1 Open platform for database-as-a-service (DBaaS) on IBM Power Systems solution A modern, optimized platform for the cognitive era Highlights Faster time to value and improved productivity Superior performance and price-performance Fully open with no vendor lock-in Flexible with choice of most popular open source databases, on demand Enterprise-grade foundation for compliance Competing in a data-driven insight economy, businesses are confronted by a deluge of data from a wide variety of sources internal, external, social, mobile and sensors. It s estimated that 80 percent of that data is unstructured, and this unstructured data is growing at 15 times the rate of structured data. 1 Traditional enterprise computing, with its reliance on conventional databases designed for structured data, is unable to cope with this deluge. That s why organizations everywhere are modernizing their data platforms, using all available technology, to derive patterns and insights from both structured and unstructured data. Next-generation applications based on open source technology, and especially open source databases, are critical for this modernization. Open source software enables companies to benefit from the expertise of the entire open source community. That s why open source downloads are increasing by 80 percent each year, and 70 percent of new applications are built on open source databases. 2 Open platform for database-as-a-service on IBM solution puts you back in control Open source database-as-a-service (DBaaS) has unique advantages over traditional database deployment models. One, it improves speed and agility with on-demand and agile provisioning of databases a requirement for today s cloud workloads. Two, it significantly reduces licensing and infrastructure costs. Three, it eliminates database sprawl generated by the hundreds or thousands of underutilized or unutilized databases that have accumulated over the years in organizations.

2 The open platform for DBaaS on IBM solution is an open-source-based platform that integrates servers, storage, operating systems, middleware and databases, disrupting conventional x86-based solutions with substantial ease-of-use and administration benefits, as well as price-performance advantages. It combines three elements: open source and ISV databases; OpenStack and Ubuntu Linux distribution and support; IBM OpenPOWER System LC servers, networking, storage, services and support.

3 Modern and mature open source databases, such as EDB Postgres, based on PostgreSQL, and MongoDB, are hardened for enterprise deployments and have innovative new capabilities beyond those of traditional enterprise databases. For example, healthcare organizations are using MongoDB to build new customer call-center applications that combine traditional patient billing data with new data formats, such as MRIs and lab test results. They are also using text data from specialist appointments to significantly reduce patient wait times and improve quality of care. Other organizations are using open source database management systems to combine GPS location data with real-time social media and video feeds with their own data to offer public transportation alternatives during peak travel times. IBM are ideal for open source DBaaS Open source DBaaS is only as good as the engine driving it. It s critical to have robust, high-performance infrastructure that s optimized for data-intensive workloads. Next-generation developers require all this plus extreme flexibility and scalability, while IT seeks to lower costs per unit of compute, storage and bandwidth. The IBM OpenPOWER System LC server portfolio was codeveloped by IBM and OpenPOWER Foundation members to help deliver better data-centric innovation around IBM Power architecture. OpenPOWER System LC servers integrate virtually seamlessly into data centers and clouds to scale data-intensive workflows with maximum performance and minimum cost and server footprint. This integration frees up organizations to focus on solving critical business challenges and accelerating innovation. The exponential growth of data demands not only the fastest throughput but also smarter networks. Mellanox intelligent interconnect solutions incorporate advanced acceleration engines that perform sophisticated processing algorithms on the data as it moves through the network. Intelligent network solutions greatly improve the performance and total infrastructure effciency of data-intensive applications. As part of the open platform for DBaaS on IBM Power Systems solution, IBM delivers Ansible scripts to support OpenStack Trove-based DBaaS installation and configuration on servers, storage and networking. Pre-tested reference architectures are provided in four configurations that are designed for varying levels of client needs: starter, entry, enterprise and performance configurations. Each configuration includes appropriately sized compute, storage and networking hardware, and IBM Lab services and tooling, for a complete solution deployment. IBM also provides multiple options and configurations to extend the open source DBaaS platform across private or public clouds. 3
