3 Agenda Why the Mettle Test? Websphere zos Runtime structure Configuration overview WebSphere, WLM and transaction priorities WebSphere and IRD View the gauges from the Mettle Test system Why run Websphere on zos/zseries?

4 Why the Mettle Test? Industry Standard Benchmarks do not adequately reflect operational performance requirements Static loads Unconstrained resources Single application per operating system, single operating system per box Benchmarks are not a good indicator of deployment configurations Benchmark at 100% - in production run at much less Under utilized hot-standbys for failover, development, test systems, etc. Operational footprint much larger than benchmarks would indicate needed Price/performance calculations based on a single instance benchmark at 100% cpu utilization can be misleading New application environments are leading to increasing volatility in loads on backend IT infrastructures Websphere Portal - view of entire enterprise Websphere Business Integrator J2EE connectors to ERPs, Collaboration, Decision Support, Legacy systems Workflow - orchestrated sequences of transactions to multiple back-end applications Webservices - enterprise to enterprise, application to application interaction Is your IT infrastructure ready to handle this??

5 What is the Mettle Test? The Mettle Test is an operational performance demonstration highlighting the reliability and availability characteristics of zseries and WebSphere Self-Optimizing Scenarios Dynamic Resource Management Distinquish between high priority and low priority websphere users Distinguish between high priority and low priority applications On demand response to changing processing capacity requirements with IRD Self-Healing Scenarios Planned and Unplanned Outage Avoidance Websphere/zOS application failure isolation Continuous availability of sysplex Hardware failure isolation and recovery Non-disruptive installation of application and middleware maintenance

6 State of the Art Transactional Runtime Merges the best of 30 years of mission critical transaction monitors and the J2EE programming model Isolation Availability Consistency Resource management Two phase commit High Priority Users or Trxs Server Regions Application Medium Priority Users or Trxs RRS IMS catalog HTTP Control Region Server Regions RRS IIOP WLM Application Socket endpoint Authorized Recoverable Low Priority Users or Trxs Server Regions RRS Application
