4 Industry standard, tuned to the task.
Linux and Open Source adoption is growing
What is the IBM PowerLinuxTM solution for Linux Application Services ?
The platform
IBM PowerLinuxTM servers with PowerVM™ offer a highly virtualized, cloud-ready platform tuned for popular Linux applications to support more virtual workloads per server
The software stack
Virtualized open source applications provide an economical software stack for replacing more expensive infrastructure applications with robust open source software offerings.
Open source applications for PowerLinux are included with commercial Linux distributions from Red Hat and Novell, and are supported by Red Hat, SUSE or IBM.
Key differentiators that deliver customer value
• Faster and more economical delivery of Linux services via
PowerLinux/PowerVM platform tuned for Open Source Apps.
• Implementation/Tuning Guide, IBM Lab Services, Migration Factory via local reseller to insure up and running quickly
What is your company’s stance toward open source software
73%consider open
source software on equal footing to
proprietary software
ApacheLinux MySQL PHP JDK Tomcat Eclipse Jboss
100%of these are included with RHEL or SUSE on the PowerLinux 7R2

5 Industry standard, tuned to the task.
PowerLinux provides the same Linux with more features
Industry standard Linux
�Support Red Hat and SUSE Enterprise Linux versions consistent with x86_64
� POWER support available simultaneously with other platforms
� List of packages nearly identical, with logical deviates – e.g. bootloader
� Packages at same version/level – including kernel and device drivers
�Leverage same opens source system solutions whenever possible
� Collaborate with communities to support POWER when needed
� Contribute bug fixes back to communities when needed
� Work with Linux vendors to integrate, test, deliver and maintain POWER products
Tuned to the task
�PowerLinux servers exploit workload optimized advantages of POWER architecture
� Power7: optimize workload performance for platform, e.g. kernel, toolchain, libraries
� PowerVM: support unique features, e.g. DLPAR, AMS, Micro-partitions
� RAS: extend Linux RAS capabilities, e.g. EEH, platform error logging
PowerLinux is industry standard, tuned to the task
More powerful than x86 Linux, more scalable than VMware, and more reliable than Windows.

12 Industry standard, tuned to the task.
PowerLinux provides additional RAS features
� Examples include:
� PCI bus error detection and recovery
–Implemented by EEH (Extended I/O Error Handling) on Power
• In the kernel and device drivers; no userspace tools needed
–Autonomic detection and recovery for most errors
� Platform error logging and analysis
–Platforms provides the OS with notifications of failures (hardware failures,
firmware/hypervisor issues, etc.)
–These events are received and logged to servicelog.
–Certain failures also handled
• Predictive CPU failures will cause the failing CPU to be taken offline (a.k.a.
CPU Gard)
• EPOW (Environmental and Power events), such as a switch to UPS power, a
fan failure, or a thermal condition, may shut down the system
• Platform dumps (FSP dumps, PHYP dumps, etc.) may be generated by the
platform for future analysis
