1 Is There Any Alternative To Your Enterprise UNIX Platform? Andrej Gursky PosAm TechDays EAST, March 2015

2 Why People Like Their UNIX systems?

3 Reliability Non-stop operation SK Customer #1 Proven HW architecture Where is my server?? SK Customer #2 uptime 9:34am up 2050 day(s), 12:46, 2 users, load average: 2.27, 2.43, 2.55 SK Customer #3

4 Performance and Utilization OS optimized for HW Multi-processing systems Scalability Internal bandwidth OS tools and features

5 Embedded Virtualization Dynamic Reconfiguration Direct access to HW No performance impact Mutlitenancy and application security

6 Non-disruptive Maintenance Online replacement and upgrades Hot-pluggable everything Long life support

7 But Costly to buy and maintain Not user friendly Dependency on proprietary UNIX server environments

8 Hitachi Compute Blade Solution for your critical applications

9 Hitachi LPAR Logical Partitioning RELIABLE HIGH PERFORMANCE VIRTUALIZED SERVER ENVIRONMENT Co-Developed with INTEL since 2003 Logically divides physical compute resources Implemented in firmware for security and stable system performance Up to 30 LPARs per blade Dedicated Mode High performance and isolated partitions for sensitive multitenant environments Shared Mode Optimized utilization and dynamic load balancing NEW! VMM on LPAR:
