Changing Landscape of Middleware

© 2011 IBM Corporation

WebSphere as a Brand is focused on :

 Usability (or Consumability)

 Total cost of ownership (What is this?)
 Serviceability
 Scalability ( and Performance?)
 Adaptability (new technologies and standard)

 Questions?
– How does performance impact TCO?
– What is FeP?
– What is difference between Scalability and Performance?

Scalability

 scalability is a desirable property of a system, a network, or a process,

which indicates its ability to either handle growing amounts of work in a
graceful manner or to be readily enlarged. (Wikipedia)

– For example, it can refer to the capability of a system to increase total

throughput under an increased load when resources (typically
hardware) are added.

 Scale up vs Scale Out

Scalability Vs. Performance

 Scalability  Performance

– It is the ability not only to function

well in the rescaled situation, but to
actually take full advantage of it.
– For example, an application
program would be scalable if it
could be moved from a smaller to a
larger system and take full
advantage of the larger system in
terms of performance (user
response time/Throughput)
– Response Times (Fast!)
– Throughput (Increased!)
 Achieved Scaling up/Scaling Out
 Not most cost efficient
 Advanced Tuning?
 Scaling the hardware does not
work in all cases

– Larger number of users that could

be handled.

 Drivers
So what is changing the Landscape?
 New business models and paradigms
 Social network! Obviously?
– Everyone wants to be on Facebook/linkedin etc
– Every solution is compared to scalability and availability like social networks
– Capitalize on ‘perceived’ new markets on social network.
 Emerging Channels of commerce
– New breed of personal devices
– Speed of commerce
– Low tolerance for ‘slow’ experience
 Proliferation of ‘smart’ phones
– Do everything but make phone calls (?)
– Exponential growth of these phones ( 35% of US population as an example)
– Emerging markets ( India, China, Brazil, Russia etc)
 Globalization!!
– Single market for everything
– Everything is linked

Solution : Cloud Computing?

What are these landscape changes driving?

Elasticity
 Rapid provisioning (e.g. CloudBurst Appliance,TPM, BladeLogic)
 Configuration Automation (e.g. RAFW, etc)
 Virtualization – HW (e.g. VMware/PowerVM) and Middleware (e.g. WVE)
Scalability
 eXtreme Caching – improving speed and scalability
 Data/cache partitioning and co-location
Data awareness and real time processing
 Sense and response or even driven architectures (Fraud/Marketing/BI)
 Reduced processing – or off loading to a efficient tier
 Moving data closest to application (relevant logic)
Achieve Elasticity and Scalability – Application Infrastructure (WebSphere enabled
middleware)
Data awareness and real time processing – require new architectures and design.

Managing heterogeneous infrastructure - Virtualization

 Deploy to a variety of hypervisors using a single appliance

– VMware ESX
• Manage versions 3.0.2, 3.0.3, 3.5, and 4 (vSphere)
• Manage individual hosts or interact with VMware vCenter
z/VM
z/VMCloud
Cloud
– IBM PowerVM
• Manage Power5, Power6, and Power7 systems

– IBM z/VM
• Manage versions 5.3, 5.4 and 6.1

First, what’s a cache?

A database cache? A page fragment cache? A service Cache?
TOO SPECIFIC!
• A cache is a tool for reducing application path length

•
OR the distance data has to travel before it gets to the customer/
data sink
