SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server – Mainframe success

• Starting in 1999, SUSE GmbH started their cooperation with IBM and the Marist College to move the available Linux code into an Enterprise ready Linux distribution - Since then SUSE took over the responsibility for Linux on System z.

• Available since 2000: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for System z is available to customers since 2000, either through IBM or directly through SUSE.

• 100% market share in 2004: Entering this new market SUSE Linux Enterprise Server was the only available enterprise-class Linux, which was maintained and supported and which delivered the Reliability, Availability and Scalability (RAS) as expected by IBM´s Mainframe customers.

• 80+% market share in 2009: Although other enterprise-like Linux offerings entered the market, Novell with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server clearly leads the Linux Mainframe market with a share of more than 80%.

SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server 11 for System z New Features in Version 11

Dynamic add/remove of CPU and memory: resources of a Linux guest under z/VM can be adjusted while running. A pool of CPUs are dynamically given to a Linux guest and used as needed

Vertical CPU management: helps get the most performance out of System z10 servers by being aware of the server's NUMA characteristics

Linux CPU Node Affinity: improves performance by scheduling processes to the optimal node where the CPU is associated, exploiting the new System z10 CPU node topology

Enhanced HiperSocket support: Additional support for IPV4 and support for IPV6

= SLES unique feature


SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server 11 for System z New Features in Version 11 (cont´d)

Higher performance analysis in the disk subsystem: gives performance analysts the same type of view into SCSI over Fibre Channel Protocol that they have with mainframe Direct Access Storage Devices (DASD)

Large page support: enables better performance with large memory footprints like in Java or database workloads by exploiting new System z10 large memory pages (1MB)

Cross architecture debugging: System z core dumps can be analyzed on x86 systems, negating the need for a duplicate System z server

= SLES unique feature

Tools to help life in Linux world


SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server for System zStarter System for System z

Historically, one of the biggest hurdles to implementing Linux on the mainframe has been gaining network access to the installation media from the mainframe (Installation routine cannot access built-in DVD reader, Firewall rule changes needed)

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Starter System for System z is a pre-built installation server — facilitates installation of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for System z on a z/VM system

Eliminates the network access hurdle to try out Linux on the mainframe — gaining network access to the installation media from the mainframe

Allows customers with little or no Linux or z/VM experience to initiate evaluations of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for System z

Workload Consolidation and TCOConsolidation CandidatesBest Fit Applications• Best fit applications are those that

leverage the classic strengths of System z servers:

• High availability

• High I/O bandwidth capabilities

• Data exchange using shared memory or fast interconnects such as HiperSockets

Good Fit Applications• Good fit applications are applications,

which are optimized for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for System z, but also run well on other architectures, such as x86 and POWER*.

• TCO

• Application availability on Linux

• Strategy within the organization

Examples of GOOD fit applications:

DB2

Informix

WebSphere Application Server

Apache Web Server

Samba

FTP, NFS, file and print, etc.

Five Years Ahead of CompetitionSystem z Historic Milestones

SUSE LINUX and IBM started engineering cooperation; since then IBM engineers and SUSE / Novell engineers cooperate very tightly on the basis of an excellent relationship.

First SUSE Linux Enterprise Server launched for IBM Mainframes

SUSE LINUX and IBM base their cooperation on a formal agreement for the delivery of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for IBM’s hardware architectures and worldwide support.

SAP certified SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for System z; first customer deployments followed in the same year.

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server achieved Common Criteria certification for all supported IBM architectures (upto EAL4+ level)

From 2000 until 2004, IBM‘s Linux Impact Teams and SUSE LINUX experts joined forces in a combined project office, to counsel our customers with the maximum expertise for their Linux on Mainframe business

Novell and IBM entered into a formal global strategic alliance

Novell launches the 5th generation (code 10) of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for IBM system z, now including a Starter System that makes POCs and evaluations much easier

With massive investments into ISV enablement, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server becomes the Linux application leader, with the broadest software support of any Linux distribution. In addition, IBM and Novell work together to bring new workloads to the mainframe, such as .NET based applications running on Novell‘s Mono runtime environment.

With a 80 percent marketshare, Novell continues as the #1 Enterprise Linux for IBM Mainframes
