Key IT Questions and Open Source

How can IT help our business succeed ?•Solve our problems today •Grow in the future•Integrate across and outside the company •Respond quickly to opportunities and threats

How can we improve our IT infrastructure ?•Better – more reliable, more secure•Faster – better price/performance•Lower cost – more efficient, lower TCO•More flexible – easier to integrate

Should we use Open Source Software?•When / Where / How ?•Build/Buy vs Build/Buy/Share?•Open Source / Commercial / Mixture ?•Who from / Who supports / Who integrates ?•How much will it cost / TCO / ROI ?

Be pragmaticRun a proof of concept or pilot to test out viability

Make decisions based on both business and technical factors

Establish policies for working with Open Source softwareEducate company teams about OSS before they work with it

Implement a management system to review, approve, and track the use of OSS inside the company, and contributions of company software assets to external OSS projects

Review Open Source Licensing - establish a process within your company to help developers understand the terms of the OSS licenses and the procedures required to comply with them

Evaluate Community and Maturity of Open Source before committingOpen, robust communities and broad industry support are important

Sustainable business models are criticalHealthy ecosystem of ISVs and Business Partners is required

Evaluate Open Source and Commercial software options Recognize the need for “buy/build/share” vs “build or buy” decision driven by business value

Most customers are using a mixture of open source and private sourceDon’t build a separate strategy – interoperability / migration considerations are important

Balance up-front costs against recurring costs

Insist on Open StandardsIncreases flexibility and responsiveness

Integrating Open Source into your IT strategy

E*TRADE leveraged open source to save millions of dollars annually

ENVIRONMENTApplications Stack (Production/Development)

based on Open Source Technologies and Infrastructure

IBM System x™ 330, 335, and 345 ServersIBM DB2™Red Hat Linux and Novell’s SuSE LinuxApache Web ServerJakarta Tomcat Servlet EngineTuxedo ServersGCC, Maven etc.Web Services (SOA) implementation using Java and C

KEY BENEFITSAnnual savings of millions of dollarsIncreased flexibility and scalability

The financial services firm's open-source journey began in 2001, when it replaced several of its Sun Microsystems Solaris-based servers with IBM x86 Linux-based systems.

E-Trade saved millions of dollars annually in the process, and hasextended its open-source interests to middleware and even the use of the community development process as a model for its own internal development.

New platform feature to create a virtual x86 Linux environment, which will dynamically execute x86 Linux instructions by mapping system calls on a POWER system and caching them to optimize performance.

Clients should be able to easily install and run a wide range of x86 Linux applications on System p5™ and BladeCenter JS20 and JS21 servers that are using a Linux operating system.

This feature may help ISVs expand their addressable market to Linux on POWER servers at minimal to no cost by allowing them to run theirexisting x86 Linux applications in a POWER environment.

IBM expanding the capabilities ofPOWER5™ and POWER5+™ systems

IBM intends to expand the capabilities of IBM POWER5™ and POWER5+™ processor-based IBM System p™ servers and PowerPC ™processor-based blade servers to install and run x86 Linux applications.

Clients can benefit from the controland management that System z offers, by integrating ‘commodity’Workloads – utilities – with z/OS Workloads onto the mainframe
