Why IBM i for SAP ?

IBM i 7.1

DB2 for IBM i

IBM Power7 Technology

PowerVM™ Virtualization Engine

PowerHA™ Availability Solutions

IBM Systems Director

IBM i is a powerful, easy-to-use and cost-effective

IT platform for SAP customers. It can simplify

SAP solution landscapes, while requiring just a

small IT staff.

DB2 for IBM i is embedded into the IBM i OS, and

Optimized for SAP solutions. It is designed and

tuned for extreme DB performance, esp. for

Business Analytics tasks, like SAP BW / BI

IBM Power7 processors provides leading technology

for SAP Solutions, with superior scalability and

performance per core, socket, and system (as proven in SAP

BI Benchmark), along with extreme power efficiency

Power System Software maximizes the SAP user value:

PowerVM provides leading virtualization without limits.

PowerHA offers extreme resiliency without downtime.

The IBM Systems Director is IBM’s strategic system

management tool for cross platform datacenter mgmt

POWER7 sets new scales

� 8-times the scaling:Power 770/780 offer twice, Power 795 256-core eight times the number of cores as the largest Power6

570

� X-times the capacity: Power 770/780 offer more than twice, Power 795 x-times the throughput of the largest Power 570.

� Up to Twice the performance:Power 780 / 795 performance per core is over twice the

Power 570 32-core

� x-times the memory: - x-times the physical memory of the Power 570 - Active Memory ExpansionTM * enables up to twice the

effective memory compared to what is physically installed

� Twice the energy efficiency: Power 780 / 795 offer over twice the performance per watt (up to 3 times) than the most efficient Power 570

� Twice the cores for the same price: Buy twice the cores with the Power 770 and pay less than a comparable POWER6 based Power 570

* AME and DB2 pureScale on AIX only



11

POWER7 sets new scales

� Virtualization without Limits increases flexibility and reduces costs: Expanded system capability teamed with PowerVM’sperformance, scalability and flexibility

� Workload-optimizing systems improve service levels with assured performance:PowerVM, Intelligent Threads and TurboCore mode enable you to optimize the performance of your

workloads in a virtualized environment

� Consolidation that delivers exponential ROI:Industry’s leading performance, scalability and

virtualization now unbounded with DB2 pureScale

� Dynamic Energy Optimization that balances performance and efficiency: >3X increased performance per watt, new EnergyScale

features integrated with Active Energy Manager

� Resiliency without Downtime: Non-disruptive application upgrades from POWER6 and the improvements to the road for Continuous Availability

* AME and DB2 pureScale on AIX only

� Offers a reduced IBM i entitlement charge for additional processors on Power Systems 550 / 750 , and higher

� Provides a reduced processor entitlement charge for IBM i -based application servers running in a separate partition from DB2 workloads

� Option designed for application serving and infrastructure workloads in IBM i LPARs

� Designed to support applications that do not require DB2 or which access DB2 in other partitions

� Enables clients to exploit IBM i reliability, security, scalability and work management features more affordably

Strategig IBM SAP Partnership for SAP on IBM i

The SAP Business Suite applications and the underlying SAP NetWeaver technology are supported on various

database and operating systems ("platforms") as described in the SAP Netweaver Platforms Availability Matrix

("PAM"). The SAP NetWeaver PAM documents the broad platform coverage of the SAP Application Servers and the

more restricted platform coverage of selected additional technology components (SAP livecache, SAP TREX, Adobe

Document Services.. ).

It is SAP's objective to release all SAP Business Suite and related SAP NetWeaver deliverables such as new releases,

enhancement packages and support packages synchronously for all supported platforms. IBM DB2 for i and IBM i as one of these platforms is available to customers since 1995 and there are no plans to change this for current

and future deliverables of SAP Business Suite and SAP NetWeaver.

Most of SAP's technology components are supported on IBM i as on other platforms and for the few unsupported

components SAP and IBM recommend to use Windows as supplementary operating system. All of the SAP Business

Suite and SAP NetWeaver deliverables on IBM i have even been available to customers during early product

introduction ("RampUp"). The utilization of new release of IBM i is usually certified for all releases of SAP products on

IBM i in Mainstream Maintenance only 4 weeks after IBM General Availability.

A joint SAP and IBM platform team is responsible for optimal adaption of SAP technology to IBM i and optimal utilization of IBM technology with SAP. This team is strongly committed to functional completeness, timely

availability maximum quality and optimal support of SAP products on IBM i.

Why DB2 for IBM i ?Ease of Use by Autonomic Computing

IBM i




“Running SAP ERP 6.0 and SAP NetWeaverBI 7.0 requires a high-performance infrastructure, and our business model requires continuous availability“

“Features like dynamic logical partitioning and integration with Windows-based systems mean that IBM i and Power Systems can provide near-100 per cent availability for our SAP and non-SAP applications, while ensuring high utilization of resources and a very attractive TCO.”

Dennis LewisChief Information Officer

7-Eleven Stores Pty Ltd., Australia



“The combination of the powerful

virtualization features, the unbeatable

reliability and the fact that DB2 is fully

integrated with the operating system

makes IBM Power Systems with IBM i the

perfect choice for our SAP application

landscape.”

“Another advantage of Power Systems

with IBM i is that IBM DB2 is built into the

operating system,” says Greg Thrall. “The

integration is so good that the machine

practically runs itself.”
