  • Linux on POWER
    http://ibmsystemsmag.com/CMSTemplates/IBMSystemsMag/Print.aspx?... close window Print May 2016 | by Jaqui Lynch IBM is serious about Linux on POWER. Linux now runs on every POWER8 server, with specialized offerings for Linux. These include the new LC (Linux only, PowerKVM only) servers, the L model (Linux only) servers, Linux IFLs, EasyScale for MSP offerings, and SAP Hana on POWER. Additionally, significant work has been done to encourage ISVs to increase their offerings on Linux on POWER, resulting in a flourishing ecosystem that wasn’t available on POWER five years ago. Power systems are designed for big data and optimized for performance and scalability. They provide great I/O and memory bandwidth with significant reliability and other availability features not available anywhere else except the mainframe. With full support for various levels of RHEL (Redhat Enterprise Linux), SLES (SuSE Linux Enterprise Server) and Ubuntu, it’s a great time to consider migrating to Linux on Power. Here are some decisions to make: 1. Do you want to run Linux alongside other workloads like AIX or IBM i 2. Do you want to run a Linux only server 3. Do you want to use and HMC or virtual HMC to control the server (won’t work with PowerKVM) 4. Do you want to use PowerKVM or PowerVM for virtualization 5. Do you have some dark cores and memory that you would like to run Linux on at a reduced rate 6. Do you have x86 workload running on Linux that you would like to migrate 7. Do you want to reduce costs for IBM software (PVU based licensing) Reducing costs Software can be expensive, especially middleware.

  • IBM Power® Systems for SAS® Empowers Advanced Analytics Harry Seifert, Laurent Montaron, IBM Corporation
    Paper 4695-2020 IBM Power® Systems for SAS® Empowers Advanced Analytics Harry Seifert, Laurent Montaron, IBM Corporation ABSTRACT For over 40+ years of partnership between IBM and SAS®, clients have been benefiting from the added value brought by IBM’s infrastructure platforms to deploy SAS analytics, and now SAS Viya’s evolution of modern analytics. IBM Power® Systems and IBM Storage empower SAS environments with infrastructure that does not make tradeoffs among performance, cost, and reliability. The unified solution stack, comprising server, storage, and services, reduces the compute time, controls costs, and maximizes resilience of SAS environment with ultra-high bandwidth and highest availability. INTRODUCTION We will explore how to deploy SAS on IBM Power Systems platforms and unleash the full potential of the infrastructure, to reduce deployment risk, maximize flexibility and accelerate insights. We will start by reviewing IBM and SAS’s technology relationship and the current state of SAS products on IBM Power Systems. Then we will look at some of the infrastructure options to deploy SAS 9.4 on IBM Power Systems and IBM Storage, while maximizing resiliency & throughput by leveraging best practices. Next, we will look at SAS Viya, which introduces changes to the underlying infrastructure requirements while remaining able to be deployed alongside a traditional SAS 9.4 operation. We’ll explore the various deployment modes available. Finally, we’ll look at tuning practices and reference materials available for a deeper dive in deploying SAS on IBM platforms. SAS: 40 YEARS OF PARTNERSHIP WITH IBM IBM and SAS have been partners since the founding of SAS.
