Presentation Notes

There are certain system requirements needed to deliver on the promises of cloud computing. It starts with systems capable of supporting a cloud environment with a robust compute environment to support the variety of workloads that will deliver the services in the Cloud. As you have seen, Power Systems provide the performance needed to handle varied workloads and to respond to user requests quickly and effectively. With Cloud, it’s all about economics. It starts with a system priced in an affordable range yet capable of delivering the performance, scalability, reliability and security required. Scaling can be done in two typical ways: scale up or scale out. Power Systems can do both, and, with this release of the new scale-out servers, we can address the scale-out environments with competitively priced systems that deliver much more capability than competition for the same amount of money. Security has been one of Power Systems’ strong capabilities and that tradition continues with Power Systems built with POWER8 technology. Finally, and we will discuss this in the next lecture, Power Systems supports open standards, particularly for cloud, to provide clients with management tools that support open APIs to allow a choice of tools, products, and suppliers. The new generation of Power Systems built with POWER8 technology are being delivered in two phases with the delivery of the scale-out servers first, followed by the enterprise servers later. For Cloud, this first group of servers, our scale-out servers, are designed for those who want to scale out to build their cloud, whether that is an enterprise private cloud or an MSP building a public cloud or IaaS. Let’s look more closely at how Power Systems are designed to meet this scale-out cloud architecture.

Presentation Notes

How do the prices compare between Power Systems and x86 servers? To get an idea about that, look at this price comparison chart. The graph depicts the Total Cost of Acquisition – what it takes to buy a system and the software. In a scale-out cloud environment, cost is a very critical element in selecting systems. We compared a Power System 2-socket 24-core system to an Oracle Sun x4-2 with 2 sockets and 24 cores. The Power Systems s824 model (which we saw in the last chart) with software would cost 45% less than the Oracle Ivy Bridge systems with equivalent Oracle and VMware software. You CAN scale out affordably with Power Systems. Below that, you see the cost of ownership – what does it cost to run, manage and maintain these two systems? As you can see, it will cost more to run and maintain the competitive system. For these two systems running virtualized Java applications, the total savings in total cost of ownership is $123,158 less for the POWER8 system. With a lower cost of acquisition AND lower operating costs, it is clear Power Systems can be a good economic choice for scale out cloud. Let’s look at another example. ----- Configurations: Power S824 TCA/TCO is for two servers, 48 cores 2x better virtualized throughput vs. an Oracle T5-2 2S, 24 cores each POWER8, 3.5GHz PowerVM IBM WAS Oracle Sun X4-2 TCA/TCO is for five servers, 120 cores 5 Oracle servers needed for ~ equal Java throughput of 1 Power S824 2S, 24 cores each Ivy Bridge, 2.7GHz VMware vSphere Ent.

Presentation Notes

In this example, instead of comparing comparably equipped systems, we are comparing two systems running the equivalent set of workloads in virtualized environments and calculating, based on SPECint results, how well Power Systems does against x86. Using SPECint benchmark results, we figured the virtualized workload that an 100 HP DL380P systems could support, and then calculated how many Power Systems S822L systems, our Linux-only scale out system priced competitively with Intel, it would take to run the same workloads. In this case, it would take 34 Power S822L systems to perform the same amount of work as 100 HP systems. This resulted in a Total Cost of Acquisition being 58% lower than the Intel equivalent servers. And it was done with 66% fewer systems and cores. There are other examples of these economic advantages of Power, but it should be clear that Power Systems can provide an attractive alternative to Intel. ---------------- Configurations: Power S822L TCA/TCO is for 34 servers, �816 cores 3x better virtualized throughput vs. an HP 2 socket Ivy Bridge 2S, 24 cores each POWER8, 3.0GHz PowerVM HP DL 380 G8 TCA/TCO is for 100 servers, 2400 cores 100 HP servers needed for ~ equal virtualized throughput of 34 Power S822L 2S, 24 cores each Ivy Bridge, 2.7GHz VMware vSphere Ent

Presentation Notes

When systems are designed for big data, there are a couple of key attributes that are important to create a balanced system design. First having the processing capability, second having the memory space, the workspace, and the third is having the IO bandwidth, the ability to move the information in and out of the system at the rapid speeds required. We’re delivering 4 times more threads per core vs. commodity infrastructure. The processor can run more concurrent queries in parallel faster, across multiple cores with more threads per core. We’re delivering 4 times more memory bandwidth. Increased memory bandwidth to access up to 1 TB of memory for data operations and enlarged cache in every processor We’re delivering 2.4 times faster IO to ingest, move and access data These capabilities combine to offer some impressive results.

Presentation Notes

Power SC (Security and Compliance) is a security and compliance solution optimized for virtualized environments on Power Systems servers, running PowerVM and AIX Security and compliance are increasingly important. Power Systems have security built into their foundation. As we continue to move more workloads to virtualized environments and cloud, we need to find way of proving compliance but without it taking more and more time to do so. If there is an exposure you want to know now – not when you arrive at the DC in the morning. Audit compliance reporting is getting increasingly complex and time consuming, let alone just keeping up with the changing requirements or industry standards
