zEnterpriseUnified Resource Manager

– Unifies resources, extending System z qualities of service across the infrastructure

– Install, Monitor, Manage, Optimize, Diagnose & Service

Optimizers

– Workload specific accelerators to deliver a lower cost per transaction, appliance for example IBM Smart Analytics Optimizer

IBM Blades

– Runs app unchanged and supports what you know. Logical device integration between System z and distributed resources

– The industry's fastest and most scalable enterprise server

– Ideally suited for large scale data and transaction serving and mission critical enterprise applications

Many Uses of Sensors and Events Emerging

Events and data coming from “sensors” need to be analyzed, responded to and managed in real time

*Pictures from BusinessWeek, Omron.com, China Telecom & other sources

�Classes of events from the real world

– Sensor-based real world events

– Capture of people and behavioral events (e.g. mobile presence)

– IT based business events (business process oriented)

– Continuous sources of information (e.g. news feeds & audio)

�Growing demands and deployments

– Demand for faster response will drive deployment of event systems in various industries

or domains (financial services, insurance, call center, supply chain, etc)

– Growing digital video surveillance solutions around the world (UK, Chicago, NYC, Beijing)

– Emerging demands for sensor based solutions from various industries (healthcare, agriculture, logistics, utility)

Mobile Banking

Banks are leveraging the mobile platform to enable new services to capture new business opportunities

IBM Smart Analytics OptimizerCapitalizing on breakthrough technologies to accelerate business analytics

How is it different?

� Performance: Unprecedented response times to enable 'train of thought' analyses frequently blocked by poor query performance.

� Integration: Connects to DB2® through deep integration providing transparency to all applications.

� Self-managed workloads: Queries are executed in the most efficient way.

� Transparency: Applications connected to DB2, are entirely unaware of IBM Smart Analytics Optimizer.

� Simplified administration: Appliance-like hands-free operations, eliminating many database tuning tasks.

Faster insights for enabling new opportunities

What is it?

The IBM Smart Analytics Optimizer is a workload

optimized, appliance-like, add-on, that enables

the integration of business insights into

operational processes to drive winning

strategies. It accelerates select queries, with

unprecedented response times.

Notes:

Performance is in Internal Throughput Rate (ITR) ratio based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput that any user will experience will vary depending upon considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the

workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve throughput improvements equivalent to the performance ratios stated here.
