The Need for Architecture

Microsoft Platform

     Integration focus – Web Services, interoperability, integration, business transformation, ISV integration Operational excellence – Doing more with less, automatic provisioning and load balancing, operations management Trustworthy computing – Reliable, safe computing that protects intellectual property, privacy, and society. Secure by design, default and deployment.

Enterprise class – Scalability through both scaling up and scaling out Integrate Knowledge Worker and digital lifestyles – Connecting with and empowering employees and customers; galvanizing customer experiences and knowledge worker economics

    

Technology Trends 2005-2008

– – Web Services as a standardization driver Integration focus Standards based – XML, IFX, XFS – – – IP Based Communications infrastructure Telephony – reduce costs, supports Voice / Data convergence Chat Conferencing - to experts in a chat room servicing a number of branches Video Conferencing – with my relationship manager and expert – – – – Delivery Infrastructure Self service devices – Kiosks, ATMs – using IP/XML based connectivity Web based branch, augmented with intelligent clients communicating with specialized services Rich client Disconnected infrastructure : Tablet PCs, PDAs, Smart Computing Devices Identification/Authorization – – – Smart Cards (EMV) – RFID – Multiuse Cards, Identity Cards as identification/payment mechanism Proof of ID – scanning, passports, finger print recognition – Compliance Integration Architecture Integration of SOX, BASEL II, KYC … establishing support infrastructure

Microsoft Solution A Platform For Agility

     – Building block approach application development, middleware, data, messaging, security, integration, e-business, etc.

Designed to work together AND with what you have Built for an XML Web services world Speed of applications development and deployment Lower total cost of ownership

Where We Are Today

   Companies are migrating workloads off the mainframe – – Migrating workloads to Unix for years Recent development: migrating to Windows Several types of migrations to Windows – – – Re-platform (SAP on the mainframe to SAP on Windows) Re-host (recompile mainframe COBOL for Windows) Re-write/re-engineering System integrators promoting migration – CSC, CGI, EDS, Unisys, HP

Windows Performance - Net

    If you have under 500 MIPS – Analysts and customers mostly united in belief that Windows/Intel provides price-performance benefits – You have lots of hardware options If you are a typical mainframe shop, you have under 1,000 MIPS – Compare to an 8-way Unisys ES7000 or Fujitsu Primergy RX800, running Windows Server 2003 If you have over 1,000 MIPS, but a typical mainframe customer – Isolate and migrate individual workloads under 1,000 MIPS If you have over 1,000 MIPS allocated to a single workload – Windows architectures can still address

FAQ #2 - Windows Reliability

   Single-Server Availability – – Cinergy achieved 99.99% server availability MSNBC achieved 99.98% during the Winter Olympics Multi-Server FT Availability – – Madrid Stock Exchange achieving 99.999% Continuous availability for City of San Diego 911 service Fault Tolerant Offerings – Stratus FTServer with guaranteed 99.999% availability 1 –  References: BankServ of San Francisco, Nationwide Building Society, PEMCO Unisys offers 99.99% uptime guarantee 2  Study shows 99.996% availability, w/78% at 100% availability 1.

Disaster Recovery

   System resiliency only as good as single point of failure – Sometimes the LPAR, sometimes the mainframe itself, sometimes the datacenter Geographically-separated, fully-replicated systems are the best solution – Technology available but expensive for mainframes Cost benefits of Windows migration allow adding entire hot-swap data center – – Including failover capabilities, cross data-center monitoring Third parties offer failover guarantees for application  MessageOne

IIS Consistently Tops Uptime

Windows Uptime Testimonials

“As regards stability, there is no significant difference from the mainframe…” 2 “After a year of operation, Air Products is seeing 99.995% availability on its Microsoft and SAP solution, with the system hitting a perfect 100% availability in 10 of the past 13 months. Total average response time for the online solution is now below 600ms” 1 “One measure of success is the downtime we don’t have—the fact that this system has been up 24/7 and we haven’t missed a beat” 3 1.

FAQ #3 - Window Security Caveat: Who Is Secure Against What?

   Compare similar security targets – Operating system  Windows 2000 with SP3 on Compaq ML330, z/OS on z990 – – Operating system component  Windows Kernel runtime, z/OS PR/SM for z990 Operating system service or layered application  IIS 6.0, IBM WebSphere Application Server 5.0

Compare similar security environments – – Threat categories – Assumptions – spoofing, unauthorized access, etc.

connectivity, personnel, physical Review similar security requirements – Access, authentication, audit, cryptographic support, etc.

“I predict that the last mainframe will be unplugged on March 15, 1996.”  

Decommissioned Mainframe in a Cow Milking Shed in Iowa

Mainframes are well-entrenched, complex, and working well Despite seemingly obvious rationale, hard to show details, and a lot of effort to migrate

Session Summary
