Virtualization is an essential enabling technology Offers maximum value when it is applied across the datacenter
Virtualized resources are
balanced, elastic and optimized
for scaling and pooling which
enable cloud based services
Virtualization and Cloud Infrastructure must be
Dynamic, FlexibleEfficient, ScalableReliableSecure

Simple Decision Tree When should I as a seller propose PowerKVM
14
1. Proposing P8 scale-out Linux only (S812L, S822L) Hardware? Yes = PowerKVM assuming characteristics below
Characteristics of a client interested in PowerKVMOpen Source Oriented, Not Power Knowledgeable, KVM Already in Use, Linux only workloads, Linux Centric Admins
Otherwise …
Use PowerVM
PowerVM is the only Choice For Following Criteria• AIX or IBM i workloads•Pre-P8 Machines•Mobility is required between physical servers supporting multiple OS es (AIX, IBM i & Linux)
© 2014 IBM Corporation IBM and BP Use only not for customers
PowerKVM Client Conversation Example for Scale-out Workloads
15
Client – “We are really changing our strategy to really exploit open source Linux technologies and applications. Power Systems are closed and proprietary it seems like I should exit these systems”
Seller – “Have you heard about our new open virtualization option for Power based on industry standard KVM called PowerKVM? This is a completely open source kernel-based VM solution for virtualization of Power Systems running Linux.
Its managed just like any other KVM system with open source tools or OpenStack based solutions. We have virtualization management based on Open Stack like PowerVC and Cloud Manager with OpenStack. If you like you can use off the shelf OpenStack to manage PowerKVM. We are completely open and ready for Linux workloads”

ESP Customer Example – University of NC State
16
Background – University of NC State is looking for a Big Data solution. They need virtualization to allow multiple types of processing to occur on the same servers. Chose PowerKVM because of Linux and KVM familiarity.
Customer Quotes “PowerKVM is definitely ready for prime time”
“IBM has done a superb job with the installation and packaging of the PowerKVM hypervisor. The layout of the system partitions manages to provide maximum flexibility while minimizing system storage overhead”

PowerKVM Offering Structure
PowerKVM has a single Standard Edition = PID 5765-KVM
Socket Based Pricing with Subscription model for the PowerKVM host• Pricing is socket based and requires buying a socket pair subscription
8x5= $998 24x7 =$1,498
POWER8 Scale-out Linux Only Servers have a choice of either PowerKVM or PowerVM
– Only one virtualization option can be chosen– Either PowerVM or PowerKVM can run on the system but not both
Initially eConfig will default orders to PowerVM
When PowerKVM is ordered the feature code drives proper firmware defaults– PowerKVM is preloaded on internal disk with option to disable preload– Guest Linux ISO can be preloaded for convenience to build guest VMs

Why upgrade to PowerVM Enterprise Edition? PowerVM Enterprise Edition is essential for clients with fully-virtualized production
workloads deployed across multiple physical servers– For larger enterprise clients that have standardized on virtualized workloads– Ideal for mission-critical workloads with high uptime demands – Needed for Cloud deployments
Recent Reduction in PowerVM pricing makes upgrades less expensive Simple Upgrade process just apply new license keys Includes exclusive capabilities such as Live Partition Mobility, Active Memory
Sharing and PowerVP virtualization performance monitoring.

PowerVM Live Partition Mobility Trial Program Details
This Trial is meant to Encourage Up selling to PowerVM Enterprise Edition by demonstrating the benefit of Live Partition Mobility
ELPM is available for newer POWER7 and all POWER8 systems
Sell the Value of Live Partition Mobility first then if the customer is questioning if it will work with their environment, then offer the Trial
This Trial Program is Meant to be used for Objection Handling once the Client is convinced the Live Partition Mobility is something that they need
Customer must already have PowerVM Standard Edition and software maintenance
Systems must be at Firmware Level 7.3 or above(released in May 2011) This works on any Power7 System and any POWER8 system is capable of using this trial capability
– This level of firmware has an expiring key so that if PowerVM Enterprise is not purchased this feature expires automatically after 60 days
– This feature would be required on the source and target systems for LPM to be used
No charge trial for a 60 day period Use this trial to close your upgrade deal!!
How to order the ELPM?It is ordered by adding the ELPM feature code via econfig with a MES

PowerVM Systems Virtualization HighlightsIntegrated• Virtualization is built in: true firmware, not optional add-on software; ISV friendly• Performance without penalty: all benchmarks published in a virtualized environment
Fully Dynamic• Dynamic resource sharing: very high utilization for maximum ROI; optimized memory usage
via Active Memory Sharing, Active Memory Expansion, Memory De-duplication• Dynamic LPAR resources: add & remove VM resources while VM is active; VM folding• Dynamic HW resources: CUOD, HW sparing, dynamic HW resource enablement• OS virtualization (application containers): System and Application WPARs• Live partition mobility: non-disruptive, for VMs of any size up to entire system, many
concurrently, across HW generations (P6, P7, P8), WPAR mobility across AIX generationsIndustrial Strength
• Scalability: much larger VM sizes, more VMs per server, scales linearly• Superior platform RAS: Alternate CPU recovery, multiple VIOS with multipathing, instruction
level retry, memory mirroring, OS/FW resilience, hardware sparing, hardware enforced I/O access control, first failure data capture, concurrent service, etc.
• Superior security: firmware approach limits attack surface (virus free; very hack resistant) Compatible
• Across multiple generations: avoid or defer impact to software assets
