2 Welcome to the waitless world New Enterprise value is coming from the use of IT to engage clients & leverages the confluence of 5 important technology trends 2

3 Welcome to the waitless world Enterprise value is rapidly changing. Computing continues to evolve from Data Center systems and Databases. Cross Platform Operating System of choice: Linux Windows, ios, Linux Operating Systems: Unix/AIX, IBM i, z/os, MVS, VM, Windows 3

4 Welcome to the waitless world Linux servers will account for 38% of all server revenue - Windows servers will be 50% by 2019 Linux is growing at 8% while Windows is growing at only 3% a year through 2019 Share 2019 CGR 50% 3% 8% CGR 38% 8% Unix Source: IDC Forecast 4

8 IBM Linux engineering assertions for Power Linux = Common Linux KVM = Common KVM Containers = Containers OpenStack = OpenStack Welcome to the waitless world Bare-metal support KVM guest support PowerVM LPAR support Cloud Infrastructure Virtualization / Containers Linux Operating Systems Supported by Canonical 8

9 Linux rolling out latest status Welcome to the waitless world RHEL 7.2 available (BE & LE) Announced and available - November 2015 Continues to deliver both LE and BE versions LE is where the investments continue Both LE and BE runs in PowerVM LPARs and in KVM guests LE supports L and LC systems bare-metal LE supports Nvidia K80 GPUs bare-metal in the S822LC LE introduces RHEL support for CAPI adapters (phase 1 support) CentOS 7.2 ppc64le now available Normal community supported operating system. No formal IBM support. Ubuntu LTS (LE only) now available - April 2016 Ubuntu (LE only) available Continues to be POWER8 LE only. Delivers an updated CAPI interface (phase 2 support) Supports L and LC systems bare-metal Selected features will roll into Ubuntu x LTS release in the future SLES 11 SP4 (BE only) being updated for larger memory footprint on E880 systems Up to 32TB in a single LPAR SLES 12 SP1 (LE only) available Continues to be Power8 LE only Support L systems bare-metal LC expected to be added in next update 9

10 Power Linux support Same Linux source and distribution release schedules as x86. Simplified x86 application porting and migration with little endian distributions. Enterprise support for all three Enterprise Offerings available from IBM or distributors. Welcome to the waitless world RHEL 7.2 (BE and LE) RHEL 7.2 now available Runs in POWER8 exploit mode on P8 BE with POWER7 in p7compat mode LE now exploits P8 bare-metal L and LC CentOS 7.2 ppc64le now available New RHEV for Power available RHEL 6 (BE only) RHEL 6 U5 on POWER8 (P7compat mode) Full support of POWER6 and POWER7 (native mode) Fedora (LE) Power support since Fedora 16 Fedora 20 introduces Power8 support Fedora 25 actively being worked LE is the focus Docker enabled in Rawhide, Fedora 23 Supported Add-ons Jboss, High performance network add-on SLES 12 SP1 (LE only) SLES 12 SP1 now available Runs in POWER8 exploit mode on P8 LE not supported on POWER7 systems Exploits P8 bare-metal L SLES 11 SP4 (BE only) Runs in selective POWER8 exploit mode on P8 Full support of POWER6 and POWER7 (native mode) Current base for SAP HANA engagements OpenSUSE (LE) opensuse 12.2 introduced updated POWER support opensuse 13.2 introduces POWER8 support Docker now enabled in Tumbleweed Supported Add-ons SUSE Linux Enterprise HA Ubuntu LTS (LE only) available now - April 2016 Runs in POWER8 exploit mode on P8 LE not supported on POWER7 system Exploits P8 bare-metal L and LC Delivers KVM host capability Ubuntu x LTS (LE only) available today..5 will be last update.

11 Welcome to the waitless world IBM Supports Linux for the Enterprise LE LE LE Partnering to provide a complete support solution for implementing and managing the Linux operating system in enterprise server and cloud environments IBM now delivers consistent little endian support for the enterprise across leading Linux distributors: Red Hat, SUSE, Ubuntu One Contract, One Phone Number for Linux environment support IBM s support approach focuses on speed to resolution Seamless collaboration on multi-vendor products as your single source provider 11

12 Welcome to the waitless world Hypervisor/OS Support for POWER8 Scale-Out Servers As of 10/5/15 announce 12

13 Linux on Power transitions to little endian Today Welcome to the waitless world SLES 11 (3/09) BE SLES 12 (4Q14) LE RHEL 6 (11/10) BE RHEL 7 (6/14) BE LE LTS (4/14) LE (10/14) LE (4/15) LE (10/15) LE LE LE LE LTS LE Standard Release Support Extended Release Support Release/update Red Hat lifecycle information - Projected release/update SUSE lifecycle information Ubuntu lifecycle information

14 Little endian simplifies software on Power POWER8 processors support execution in both big endian (BE) and little endian mode (LE) Most compiled open source software is designed (defacto) to run in little endian mode. Linux on Power has chosen to exploit little endian (LE) processor mode based on OpenPOWER partner feedback. Welcome to the waitless world Eases the migration of applications from Linux on x86. Enables simple data migration from Linux on x86. Simplifies data sharing (interoperability) with Linux on x86. Improves Power I/O offerings with modern I/O adapters and devices, e.g. GPUs. LE distributions for Linux on Power does NOT mean x86 applications magically run: applications must still be compiled for Power. LE enablement is facilitating discussions with new partners and software providers for Linux on Power AIX and IBM i will remain BE BE and LE are simply different ways of ordering of how data is stored. Important in Not as important in Market has moved. 14

15 Welcome to the waitless world What is the deal with Big Endian (BE) and Little Endian (LE)? It is how you store values (bytes) in memory For example: (in Decimal) 90AB12CD (in Hexadecimal) It will take 4 bytes of memory to store this number 90 AB 12 CD Big Endian ( Big End First ) Memory Value 90 AB 12 CD Used by mainframe, pre-power8 with Linux, SPARC, Macintosh AIX and IBM i have been and will remain BE Little Endian ( Little End First ) Memory Value CD 12 AB 90 More Info: Used by Intel x86, VAX/VMS and now POWER8 with Linux POWER8 is Bi-Endian. The system supports both Big Endian and Little Endian operating Systems on the same system, at the same time, in LPARs or in KVM guests. The latest Ubuntu, RHEL and SLES releases all support LE. 15

16 Where is Linux LE and BE going? Welcome to the waitless world The latest operating systems from SUSE and Canonical and Red Hat are available in LE mode -- starting with POWER8-based systems SLES 12, all Ubuntu ppc64le releases, RHEL 7 Footnotes: Ubuntu has an older BE powerpc release originally targeted for older processors and Power-Mac RHEL 7 continues to be currently available as a BE based operating system Future new Enterprise Linux versions are expected to continue on a LE focused approach IBM s product, technology, software, and solution offerings for Linux on Power are expected to continue to focus on LE more strongly in the future Bare-metal boot on POWER8 and future POWER9 systems are developed on the LE base Nvidia s GPU adapters are dependent exclusively on the LE base There are numerous examples of other Linux offerings which continue to have community advocates and enthusiasts for BE based versions (powerpc, ppc64, etc) which demonstrates the depth and interest from the Power ecosystem. See next chart. 16
