$250K + Servers Shares by Key Vendor• System z has nearly doubled its share since Q400 from 17% to 32%.

• Sun’s share (15%) peaked in Q1 2001 and has since been on the decline.• HP has held relatively flat around 20%.

• The $250K+ server market segment spending has been declining since 2000 and since the end of 2005, thespending has stabilized around $15B. The z10 EC™ growth raised the segment growth rate from 4 to 7% for2008 and helped raise the segment spending to $16.1B.

Oracle’s announcement does not address SPARC investment protection

Oracle’s stated reasons for acquiring Sun“We estimate that the acquired business will contribute over $1.5 billion to Oracle’s non-GAAP operating profit in the first year, increasing to over $2 billion in the second year. This would make the Sun 

acquisition more profitable in per share contribution in the first year than we had planned for the acquisitions of BEA, PeopleSoft and Siebel combined.” 

- Safra Catz, Oracle President

“Sun Microsystems has a variety of exciting products, but two of their software products -- the Sun Solaris operating system and Sun's Java™ programming 

language -- were instrumental in Oracle's decision to acquire Sun.” 

- Charles Phillips, Oracle President

“Sun hasn't been able to generateenough sales to cover its risingoperating costs, resulting in manyquarters of missed earnings targets.Huge research and development

costs and administrative expenseshave left Sun with razor-thin margins.The company has lost $1.86 billion inthe past two quarters, the first half ofits current fiscal year.” – DavidMacDougall

• Are your investments in Sun HW, SW, Skills and Applications at risk?- “How quickly will Oracle exit the hardware business? My bet: ASAP”. Bruce Richardson -

- “SPARC's market share has been falling to rival UNIX server vendors like Hewlett-Packard and IBM,

giving Oracle more incentive to cut the development of SPARC or sell off the business.” Jim McGregor

Chief Technology Strategist -

- “In order to deliver $1.5B in op. profit, [Oracle] would need to boost profits by $700 million assuming

no material revenue erosion, which suggests incremental headcount reductions of 5,500 to 10,000

depending on timing.” Tony Sacconaghi -

• Increased cost ahead?- “The database giant is hitting users of its databases and application server software with increases of

between 15 percent and 20 percent in licensing.” - June 2008 -(Note: Quote is not on Sun products, but is an example of what Oracle’s done in the past after itpurchased another company, BEA)

- “I expect we'll see Oracle jacking up maintenance (Java) license prices on existing Sun customers.”

Michael Cote -

• Will there be disruption to your ISV Ecosystem / Business Applications?- “A combined Oracle/Sun shows uncertainty among the Data Warehouse appliance vendors--such as

Greenplum and ParAccel--who have partnered with Sun and now find themselves in earnest “co-opetition”

with full-competitor (and then some) Oracle.” James Kobielus – 

- “Oracle’s not so stellar history with open source” Charles King -

Solution Value Stable nonstop core system

Superior reliability, availability, and scalability

Improved transaction rate with high-speedinternal network

Highly scalable environment with System zvirtualization

Optimized hardware cost (System z + Systemx hybrid system)

Existing Java applications run without rewrite

Pain Points Instability of distributed environment

Frequent outages and reliability

Poor transaction performance due to complexphysical network

Poor scalability

High hardware and software cost associatedwith aging infrastructure

Migration concerns of existing Javaapplication

IBM gains infrastructure and Oracle consolidation on System zand Linux from SUN Solaris at a Japanese Electronics Client.

83.3% Savings of ISV SW Licencing Client evaluated the System z capabilities and determined that all applications could

successfully migrate without rewriting the existing Java applications.

IBM understood client pain points and was able to quickly design, develop, andimplement a solution.

"IBM System z is the best system as the next generation open platform in terms of reliability, scalability, and system performance. We evaluated IBM because of its end to end support including installation services and 

maintenance services. Also, IBM demonstrated the high quality proposal, articulated the clear and concrete architecture roadmap, so that we concluded that IBM is the best and the trusted partner." Client Corporate Information

Top Differentiators: System z

1. Availability: Standish: z10 is “out” 110.3 minutes/year: Sun’s M9000?, Sun 2100’s?

2. Linux on z: up to 80% savings1 —consolidate to Linux from Distributed systems

3. Space and Energy use: about 1/3 of what our competition uses; similar workloads4. Thoughput/performance: 9445 transactions per sec. Core Banking benchmarks

5. Security: System z is unmatched; EAL 5 government ratings

6. Virtualization: enables utilization up to 100%: new images in minutes/hours, not days

7. Management: Business-goal based, not IT “rules-based” (meaning more flexibility)

8. Business Continuity: “10” rating by Gartner

9. Roadmap Predictability: steady increase in performance, capacity, and innovation

10. Investment Protection: cost-saving conservation of skills, applications, technology

System z Differentiators—We Can Improve Your Situation

Virtualization capability LPAR Mx000  

Move/add/remove active (running

a workload) resourcesbetween/to/from active partitionswithout a reboot

Yes (CPU, Memory, and I/O)

Limited. Dynamic resource operations areperformed at a granularity of ¼ of a systemboard4. System boards containing kernelmemory require an active partition to be

suspended to perform a move/remove5.Running processes must manually be

unbound from a processor before performing amove/remove operation on the ¼ system

board the processor is attached to6.

Dynamically allocate processing

resources between partitions

Yes, Processors or more evaluated and

dynamically allocable every 10 milliseconds

No7

Dedicate Processing Resourcesto a partition

Yes, as little as one CPU / partition and up toall processors in the machine

Yes, at least ¼ of a system board (Oneprocessor, eight DIMMs, and ¼ of I/O

attached to the board) / partition8

Share I/O Resources between

partitions

Yes No7

Dedicate I/O Resources to apartition

Yes, as little as one dedicated I/O adapter slot / partition and up to all I/O slots in the machine

Yes, at least ¼ of a system board (Oneprocessor, eight DIMMs, and ¼ of I/O

attached to the board) / partition8

Translation? Sun’s documented Virtualization limitations may not help clients save

costs, expand capacity, and secure their environment as well as System z does!

System z LPAR vs. Sun Hardware Partitioning

Virtualization capability 

LPAR Mx000 Business Value  

Max Partitions 60 – Enterprise Class30 – Business Class

4 physical Consolidate workloads and have a betterTCO

Linux OSSupport

Yes No1 Support for a broader range of applications

Support for

SharedProcessors

Yes No7 Higher server utilization and consolidationratios

PartitioningGranularity

Fraction of a CPU

¼ of a system board(1 processor, 8

DIMMS, and ¼ of I/O

attached to the board)8

Courser granularity prevents overallocating resources in a sub-optimal

manner to workloads

Support forShared I/O

Yes No7 Share a resource that is typicallyunderutilized

LPAR offers significant business advantages well beyond those offered by Sun’s Dynamic Domains simple consolidation play.
