– Easier way to deploy large numbers of rack mount web servers in data centers

– A new server form factor…lower power consumption without sacrificing performance

• 2001– RLX Technologies

– New term…”blade server”

What is a Blade Server?

• Blade servers offer a standardized method of deploying multiple processors, memory and I/O resources by placing those resources on plug-in boards that slide into a standard chassis

zEnterprise Unified Resource Manager

What is it?

Unified Resource Manager provides

infrastructure awareness to optimize the

system resources in accordance with

understanding the policies assigned to

that particular workload.

Functions are grouped into suites of

tiered functionality that enable different

levels of capability – Manage, Advanced

Management and Automate.

How is it different?

Heterogeneous management: Total systems management across heterogeneous resources. APIs facilitate enterprise wide management.

Integration: Single point of control, common skills for resources, reduced complexity of day to day operations..

Monitoring. New dashboard for CPU resources and energy management.

Simplified installation: Auto discovery and configuration of resources and workloads with single interface

Secure: Improved network security with lower latency, less hops and less complexity. Improved control of access due to management of hypervisors as firmware.

Service and support management: Virtual machines and blades able to perform hardware problem detection, reporting and call home

3/03/2014


Unified Resource Manager (zManager) design points

Incorporate “hardware management / platform management” capabilities into robust firmware to control each attached hardware component – mainframe to blade

– Hypervisors managed as firmware– Network managed by firmware – improved access control– Single management point of control – the HMC - reduced complexity of day-to-day operations– Simplified installation - auto discovery and configuration of resources inserted into the zBX

Deliver workload awareness to optimize the system resources in accordance with understanding the policies assigned to that particular workload.

System z service and support management for the server (zEC12, zBC12, z196 or z114) AND the virtual machines and blades

– Monitoring of heterogeneous architectures for problems, logging and analyzing of events, initiating recovery procedures, call home and notifying the user – all with time stamps to maintain data and transaction integrity

zManager offers virtual server provisioning and management for Linux guests running on z/VM

– Simplified skill level needed to manage a Linux on z/VM environment

Manage your mainframe and distributed with the same tools, same techniques, same practices

An ensemble allows you to have a single pool of resources –integrating system and workload management across the multi-system, multi-tier,

multi-architecture environment.

Defining an Ensemble

An ensemble is a collection of up to eight zEnterprise nodes that are managed collectively by the Unified Resource Manager as a single logical virtualized system

A zEnterprise node is a z196, z114, zBC12 or zEC12 with 0 or 1 zBX. The zBX may contain from 1 to 4 racks each containing up to two BladeCenters. zEnterprisenodes are deployed within a single site

Notes:

Performance is in Internal Throughput Rate (ITR) ratio based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput that any user will experience will vary depending upon considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve throughput improvements equivalent to the performance ratios stated here.
