integration of disparate technologiesPromoting interoperability by using open

published specifications Open architecture

Increasing collaboration by easily extending business processes – eg SOA

Innovating on top of common specifications Open source

Promoting innovation by leveraging community development

Accelerating open standards adoption

Open Standards

What is Open?Lots of definitions - from published, proprietary interfaces to open sourceWhat is a meaningful gauge?

Broad adoption (multiple vendor implementations – especially by the vendors you and your partners buy products from)

Public interfaces/public input Path to long term Stewardship (official standards body, effective open source

community,…)

Customer BenefitsChoice - The choice I make today doesn’t limit the choices I can make in the future

Flexibility - I can connect to internal departments and external partners that made different technology choices

Speed - I can build new solutions that involve multiple hardware and software platforms quickly

Speed - I can adjust to changing business parameters (new opportunities, new partners, new employees) quickly

Skills - I can find skilled resources that understand these solutions



What is Open Source ?

A licensing approachDefines access to source codeConforms to one of the “Open Source Initiative” licensesPrioritises rights of users

A development methodologyCommunity approach to developing softwareMeritocracy of developersPeer review

A community of users, developers and partnersOpen participation



Community Innovation is key to Open Source

Community-driven approach to problem solving

People working across geographical and organizational boundaries to confront today's most pressing challenges

Enabled by:Open standardsNew intellectual property practices The Internet and collaborative tools

It unites perspectives from a host of disciplines to:Rapidly solve business issuesAccelerate technological advancements Stimulate economic growthEnable new business models



Examples of Open Source projects Apache

Web ServerCommunity initiated (apache.org)

LinuxOperating System kernel Individual initiated (Linus Torvalds)

EclipseUniversal Integration platform IT Vendor initiated (IBM and others)

MozillaBrowser and client technologyHybrid (Netscape + community)

XenVirtualization hypervisor technologyUniversity initiated (Cambridge)



Why is Open Source important ?

Can be a major source of innovationCollaboration combines resources across IT vendors, universities and individuals Internet has enabled distributed collaboration and early user feedback

OSS is a good approach for driving emerging open standardsPopular open source projects can become the common implementations

Customers can benefit Increased choice and flexibilityLower costs

Can present new business opportunities

IBM and Open Source




Sam Palmisano on Open Source

“Open source is a method of tapping a community of experts to develop useful things. It began in software, but applies broadly, and is anything but anti-capitalist.”

“It can raise quality at reduced costs, and vastly expands opportunities for profit. In a sense, open source fuels innovation much the way science fuels technology. Science is created by communities of experts, whose fundamental discoveries are typically made available to all, including individuals and companies that are able to capitalize on the new knowledge in novel ways.”

“For IBM, the open-source model is familiar territory, given our long track record in the sciences.”

Apache Tuscany Tuscany provides a flexible infrastructure that

simplifies development and deployment of SOA-based systems through implementation of Service Component Architecture (SCA) and Service Data Object (SDO).

Tuscany SCA simplifies designing, building, managing and scaling composite applications that can consist of multiple languages in a distributed environment.

Tuscany SCA lightweight runtime can be embedded in, or provisioned to, a number of runtimes such as Websphere, Geronimo and Tomcat. The runtime is easily extensible to further its capability.

Tuscany SDO simplifies handling of data in SOA by providing a uniform interface for handling different forms of data.

Apache Tuscany is implemented in Java and C++ http://incubator.apache.org/tuscany/

PHP version is available at http://pecl.php.net/package/sca_sdo

Standards for SCA and SDO are supported by many industry leaders at OASIS open CSA:

http://www.oasis-opencsa.org/

Tuscany is consumed by IBM products and has been experiencing a growing number of open source adopters who are looking for SOA infrastructure.

Agenda



IBM and Open Source




Key Customer IT Questions and Open SourceHow can IT help our business succeed ?Solve our problems today Grow in the futureIntegrate across and outside the company Respond quickly to opportunities and threats

How can we improve our IT infrastructure ?Better – more reliable, more secureFaster – better price/performanceLower cost – more efficient, lower TCOMore flexible – easier to integrate

Should we use Open Source software ?When / Where / How ?Open Source / Commercial / Mixture ?Who from / Who supports / Who integrates ?How much will it cost / TCO / ROI ?



Integrating Open Source into your IT strategy Insist on Open Standards

Increases flexibility and responsiveness

Evaluate Open Source and Commercial software options Most customers are using a mixture of open source and private source Don’t build a separate strategy – interoperability / migration considerations are important Balance up-front costs against recurring costs

Evaluate Community and Maturity of Open Source before committing Open, robust communities and broad industry support are important Sustainable business models are critical Healthy ecosystem of ISVs and Business Partners is required

Establish policies for working with Open Source software Educate 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

Be pragmatic Run a proof of concept or pilot to test out viability Make decisions based on both business and technical factors
