7 Is OSS Strategic? IBM i Marketplace Survey (HelpSystems) 7

8 IBM i Marketplace Survey (HelpSystems) What are your top concerns as you plan your IT environment? (check all that apply) 8

9 Security Survey question #1: Generally speaking, what is your perception of the security of open source software A.It's secure B.It's not secure C.Not sure / no opinion 9

10 International Bug Bounty A pile of cash!! Reward hackers, geeks, nerds, and security professionals for finding security vulnerabilities in open-source software Check it out at International Bug Bounty 10

11 International Bug Bounty International Bug Bounty $626K+ in bounties 145 friendly hackers 654 flaws, including: ImageTragick ($7.5k) Heartbleed ($15k) Shellshock ($20k). 11

12 Core Infrastructure Initiative (CII) html A multimillion-dollar project managed by The Linux Foundation "enables technology companies, industry stakeholders and developers to collaboratively identify, fund and improve the security of critical open source projects" Who financially supports the Core Infrastructure Initiative (CII)? Amazon Web Services Bloomberg Cisco Dell Facebook Fujitsu Google Hitachi HP Huawei IBM Intel Microsoft NetApp NEC Qualcomm RackSpace salesforce.com VMware 12

13 Open source vs. proprietary Open Source Malicious people can easily see source code Funded by a community, coalition, or foundation Zero to many developers Code quality can be verified Anyone can fix bugs Proprietary Malicious people can't see source code (but can still reverse engineer) Funded by the owner Traditional development team Code quality assured by owner Owner fixes bugs Open source vs. proprietary Open Source Community maintains update schedule "Bounty Hunters" Generally quick to adopt new protocols Proprietary Owner maintains update Owner-employed test team Requirements submitted to owner for new protocols (OpenSSL has supported TLSv1.3 since April 5) (NSS has supported since before that) 13

14 High Availability Better availability through load balancing 14

15 Better availability through load balancing Modernizing Applications 15

16 What business applications are you running on IBM i? (check all that apply) Things we deliver with every new language/version FastCGI Allows fast connection from HTTP server to backend PASE environment ILE Object Toolkit Toolkit for each environment to easily allow connections to ILE objects and information Built on XMLService SQL Connector Easy integrated (from the open source language) way to transfer data to and from DB2 for i leveraging SQL 16

17 Web Technologies are powered by open source! Languages PHP Python Ruby Javascript Packages JSON / XML packages Swagger API framework SOAP libraries Web frameworks Web Technologies are powered by open source! Application Framework/Servers Apache Tomcat / TomEE Jboss EAP Glassfish Rails Express.js Sails.js Django Bottle Flask HTTP Servers Apache HTTP Server nginx Eclipse Jetty 17

18 IBM i Services With every major language, we deliver a high-performance, robust database connector! Access system data through SQL! PTF Security Message Handling Librarian Work Management Communication Storage Product System Health Journal Java More being continuously added IBM i Services - Examples 18

19 IBM i Services - Examples IBM i Services - Examples 19

20 Db2 Storage Engines for MySQL and MariaDB Supporting open source applications while simplifying data management Applications written to MySQL or MariaDB, but data stored in DB2 One database to manage, backup and protect Provides access to MySQL or MariaDB data from RPG, DB2 Web Query and more PHP Application Writes to MySQL/MariaDB Data stored in DB2 for i RPG Application Accesses Data Combination of Apache, PHP and Open Source Database like MySQL enables 1000s of applications on i Customer Relationship Management, E-Commerce, Portals and Wikis Modernization of Enterprise applications? Many enterprise applications have been modernized (web, mobile, other) IBM i runs many industry-standard technologies. Web solutions like Jenkins, WordPress, etc. can be deployed easily, thanks in large part to open source tech 20

21 Node.js value proposition Node.js is very web-oriented, asynchronous If you're writing web sites, odds are YOU ARE USING JAVASCRIPT on the client side Node.js allows you to use that same language for the server-side code as well. Survey question #2 (OK, really a pop quiz NO GOOGLE!!) The Node.js engine utilizes an open source library "libuv" to manage the asynchronous event loop. What does "UV" stand for? A. Unsynchronized Variables B. Unifed Vector C. Updating Validation D. Unicorn Velociraptor 21

22 Correct answer.. Correct answer.. 22

23 Correct answer. IBM i Skills 23

24 Popular Open Source Languages: Tiobe Popular Open Source Languages: Tiobe 24

25 Skills Acquisition Easy to find developers to write IBM i applications! Utilization Current development staff needing new skills? 25

26 26

27 Fresh Faces - Stephanie Rabbani Rabbani, now a senior web developer working with Alan Seiden at Seiden Group, appreciates IBM i's stability and reliability because the system can handle tons of data flowing through her PHP applications. Fresh Faces Kody Robinson Mobile is one trend that affects AECC and the broader business community. "One of the main trends right now, at least in my eyes, is to be able to give our internal customers access to applications on their phone," Robinson says. That involves adding modern web applications that leverage modern resources. 27

28 Developer access to IBM i IBM i can be accessed with an SSH client X11 forwarding is supported Filesystem can be accessed with SMB sftp/scp sshfs ftp/ftps several IBM i-specific access tools Tools used for editing code Visual Studio Code Notepad++ Eclipse Eclipse Orion vi/emacs/joe Rational Developer for i Developer access to IBM i 28

29 Open Source "hands on" education? Open Source "hands on" education?

30 Open Source "hands on" education? IBM i Open Source and the Talent That Follows We were open to the grizzled AS/400 veteran, someone with database and SQL chops, a student fresh from school, or any combination of the above. We wanted to focus on the talent of the individual because we knew we had the server to take advantage of almost any skillset that walked through the door. During the hiring process, Jason stood out as the candidate we were looking for. He was in the process of wrapping up a twoyear degree at an area technical college and we brought him on board as an intern while he wrapped up his last semester. He proceeded to exceed our expectations and we set out to hire him immediately after his internship and graduation that summer

31 Data Growth OPEN SOURCE--- FREE!!! 31

32 Different costs? Still needs some "glue" OSS licensing implications Currency Support Leverage the community with Node Package Manager (npm) $ npm install jshint jshint@ node_modules/jshint strip-json-comments@1.0.2 underscore@1.6.0 exit@0.1.2 console-browserify@1.1.0 (date-now@0.1.4) minimatch@1.0.0 (sigmund@1.0.0, lru-cache@2.5.0) shelljs@0.3.0 cli@0.6.5 (glob@3.2.11) htmlparser2@3.8.2 (domelementtype@1.1.3, domutils@1.5.0, entities@1.0.0, domhandler@2.3.0, readable-stream@1.1.13) $ ls node_modules/ jshint $ ls node_modules/jshint/ README.md bin data dist node_modules package.json src $ ls node_modules/jshint/node_modules/ cli exit minimatch strip-json-comments console-browserify htmlparser2 shelljs underscore 32

33 Leverage the community with the Preferred Installer for Python (pip/pip3) Time to Market Social Cognitive E-Commerce Web pages Web services Mobile 33

34 Some numbers 125,000Python modules Python Package Index (pypi.python.org) Some numbers 650,000Node.js packages Npmjs.com 34

35 Language toolkits (all open source) Node.JS itoolkit Python itoolkit-lite PHP Toolkit for IBM i Ruby itoolkit Swift Reduce IT Spending 35

36 Analytics/Business Intelligence Many packages available in open source communities Often they can run on the IBM i, or integrate with the IBM i with the help of open source technologies Fresh Faces "I've been working on IBM i for five years. Right now, I'm a leading part of our product developer team, with a focus on open-source business intelligence (BI) and reporting tools (BIRT)" 36

37 2017 Fresh Faces "I've been working on IBM i for three years, and my most interesting current projects involve open-source BIRT" Integration with other data sources Every new language has OSS packages to interact with social media. Consumption of XML or JSON feeds is easy! Many databases have open source clients freely available. 37

38 Open Source & Watson IBM i integration delivered with the languages Watson integration delivered with the languages Watson community has provided numerous examples and SDK's for Java and open source languages i vs. Linux 38

39 Why not just run OSS on Linux machine/partition? Introducing another tier: Unnecessary complexity Extra cost? Additional point of (possible) failure Performance implications Another avenue of malicious attack Running on i means: Consolidated System of record + System of engagement People working in core business platform Success Stories 39

42 Deknudt Frames 42

43 Deknudt Frames Deknudt Frames By launching its new e-commerce platform on IBM i on the Power Systems platform, Deknudt Frames has expanded its market reach, given retail partners an out-of-the-box web store they can integrate into their own websites, streamlined payment and inventory processing, and reduced the cost of IT administration. Deknudt says: We have also enabled our retail partners to offer a much wider selection of our products to their customers. Now, retailers can stock the most popular items, and if a shopper would like something slightly different, the retailer can easily place an order with us. The solution is enabling us to broaden our market reach we anticipate that this will soon drive higher revenues. 43

44 Deknudt Frames This e-commerce platform is another example of how we are using technology to generate competitive advantage. And what s really interesting is that this upto-date, open source solution runs side-by-side and fully integrated with trusted core business systems originally coded in the 1970s. In all the years we ve used IBM i and the Power Systems platform, we ve never experienced any issues around stability or security, which contributes to the low total cost of ownership for us, IBM i is a phenomenally stable platform for business that is also open to all kinds of future possibility.
