The Art of War ("孫子兵法") by Sun Tzu
So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win numerous battles without a single loss.
If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.
If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.

Compared to HP and Dell, IBM stands out as the foremost IT provider. HP and Dell are modeling their businesses after the concepts of
IBM by acquiring software and services businesses. Still the pace is slow. HP has certain capabilities not to be underestimated where
Dell trails behind HP in their efforts. When delivering complete solutions and infrastructure, HP and Dell are heavily dependent on cooperation with
third party vendors.
IBM is ready and able to deliver on any occasion. It is just a matter of picking out the items needed from
The drawers of Hardware, Software and services which combined translates to the total business value
of IBM

Server common parts.. So what?
The x3550M2, x3650M2 share common parts such as power supplies, memory, motherboard, hard disks.
The HS22 also uses the same disks and memory as the x3550 M2 and x3650 M2 rack server
What does this mean for the customer?
Better spare parts holding, sharing components in a customers infrastructure and standardised device drivers.. EASY!

Competing against HP & Dell
HP & Dell
– HP - Be first with the technology messages.• Power Savings =& Technology features• Calibrated Vectored Cooling
– PFA and PFW– Lightpath – Operating when the Server is Off! – ESA
DELL
– on price • use limited warranty options and servers that fit the customer’s requirements.
...Often management, PFA, light path diagnostics are not required.. Or not understood!
– Consider Smaller Offering– Be aware of “Teaser Prices”
• stripped down, entry product… RAID 0/1 Rails redundant Power – Use the BladeCenter S – Technology
Mid Market Conference Q409

Competing against Dell & HP 4 socket servers
– TCO• IBM’s scalable eX4 servers provide best TCO through reduced
infrastructure, power consumption and management– EXA4
• Use the Brochures that demonstrate better performance & lower TCO– Uptime
• Dell’s & HP’s 4 socket servers are not equipped with nearly the same uptime preserving features as seen on IBM eX4 servers
– Power consumption. • The eX4 servers are extremely power efficient compared to HP & Dell 4
socket servers such as the DL580 – DIMMS etc

BladeCenter designs to a higher standard of resiliency
BladeCenter is based on true N+N topology and has 2x N+N power delivery systems
– Domain 1 has two supplies that are unconnected so faults can not travel from supply 1 to supply 3 – I can loose a feed or a power supply for any reason and the chassis stays up and running
– Domain 2 repeats this once again
– Double the redundancy to protect the system from down time

HP has multiple single-points of failure, including in the power architecture
All power supplies are attached to the same bus– All 1U and 2U volume servers are designed with a single power bus – one fault can take out a single server in
this topology – most clients accept this
– Blades change the need because so many components are depending on the chassis being up and running – the chassis. N+1 is not high enough availability when you depend on it for 14/16/32 servers
– A fault on any PS can travel onto the power bus and ‘short’ the entire assembly of supplies leading to catastrophic failure

HP c7000 technology
BCH blowers and fans:– 100 Watts consumed in normal mode
– All hot swap
HP cooling fans:– 120 Watts per fan, measured maximum
– 14000 RPM
– 6 PSU fans not hot swap– Standard 4 or 6 max 10 for better acoustics
and lower power consumption
BC’s form factor being wide and less deep compared to HP enables use of lower powered fans, less airflow and hereby less cooling
HP blade form factor is narrow and deep demanding many high speed fans to secure proper cooling hence more energy is needed

Fabric Adapter Fabric Switch
Two choices for management:• CLI (Command Line Interface)
- Virtual port setup on adapter & group setup on switch
- Bandwidth allocation- Mapping between virtual ports, groups & vSwitch
• BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager- Easy to use web-based graphical user interface- Manage up to 100 chassis/1400 blades from a single
console- Auto discover of chassis for easy deployment- Automated failover- Virtual port configuration- Virtual port bandwidth configuration- ‘Smart Failure Monitoring’: detects uplink failures
and initiates corresponding virtual port failover
Open Fabric Manager enables IO virtualization across BladeCenter

Competing against HP blades
Blade Everything Strategy
–Detail IBM ’s strategy ”one size does not fit all”. • HP dense blade solution is no match for iDataPlex when talking power and cooling savings and
ease of ownerhip and infrastructure reduction. –HP 4 socket blades is not the optimal platform for consolidation.
• Highlight the eX4 servers advantages in TCO, and performance. The performance of a 4 socket blade is not equal to a 4 socket rack server due to limitations on I/O and memory compared
Use BC-E as a low cost winner
Question Redundancy
–For the TELCO and other industries demanding ruggedized equipment, hit on HP’s missing redundancy features...
Mid Market Conference Q409
© 2009 IBM Corporation
Competing against HP summary (cont’d)
Layer 7 Switching
– For consolidation of not only servers - IBM can offer the layer 7 switch allowing for complete network infrastructure consolidation
I/O virtualization.
– BOFM is more versatile and less costly compared to HP’s Virtual Connect which is bound to a few dedicated and expensive HP switches
– New offerings.....
Attack HP’s design...
– Form Factor limitations– PFA & Pre Failure Warranty– ESA– AEM
• Highlight AEM’s ability to manage cross platform via iPDU and third party vendor HW as well. HP power management is limited to Proliant and 2 socket Integrity servers.

Competing against Dell
IBM offers much better solution overall• Dell only has one chassis designed for the same segment as the BCH.
–Use BCE, BCS and the Telco chasses to better match customers environment
Flexibility of Blades
–The IBM range of blades
–Dell switch portfolio• Vendor Specific switches from Dell.. The BNT solution from IBM offers better connectivity solutions.
–Attack Dell M1000e design and capabilities: • Cable sprawl,
–Chance of overheat, difficult to service, lack of error indicators and predictive failure Alerting lack of PFA etc
