SOA Leading To Mainframe ResurgenceSOA Leading To Mainframe Resurgence

• SOA is altering the perception and role of the mainframe

• Firming up of industry standards has allowed developers to use existing skills/tools

• Initially data connectivity - ODBC/JDBC

• Web Services/SOA – XML, SOAP, WS -*

• Ability to re-combine and re-use within SOA more cost/time efficient than migration

• Mainframe now more of an industry standard server, full participant in SOA

• Wrap and reuse rather than rip and replace

Shadow Simplifies Mainframe SOA Enablement

• z/Services

• Publish/consume mainframe applications (BLI, SLI, Data) as Web services

• z/Events

• Provides a single interface for the real-time capture and publishing of critical mainframe business events

Shadow Shadow –– Technology ComponentsTechnology Components

of critical mainframe business events

• z/Direct

• direct, SQL access to mainframe resources data and applications from industry standard ODBC, JDBC client drivers

• z/Presentation

• expose mainframe applications via Web with HTML browser or via J2EE, .NET and COBOL components

Data as a Service

From SOAP to BPEL

From SQL to SOAP

Maintaining Mainframe Quality of Service

• Data and transactional integrity are essential

• Fundamental to SOA are layers of abstraction

• Diagnostics challenge increases with addition of legacy servicesof legacy services

• Enterprise class management needed for integration

SOA and Mainframe Security Management

• Each logon (RACROUTE) consumes 6 ms

• 1 million web service invocations per day

• 11 transactions per second

• 1.6 CPU hours savings per dayper day

• 50 CPU hours per month (greater than 2 days)

• Typical SOM savings > 99%

• Industry’s only single, unified platform for mainframe integration• SOA – Web services and Real-time events

• Data – SQL and Real-time events

• Presentation enablement – HTML, Components

• Multi-threaded, mainframe address space• Multi-tasking and multi-threaded

• Coupling Facility (XCF)

• Offload work to the zIIP

Solving The Mainframe TCO Problem Solving The Mainframe TCO Problem

• Hardware costs and MSU upgrades are not the main problem

• Upgrades trigger a cascade of software cost increases from ISVs that weigh down mainframe TCO

• Certain types of workloads could be more effectively handled outside of General Purpose Processor (GPP)• Processing Java on mainframe not MSU friendly

The IBM Mainframe Base: Alive and Kicking

Published: July 10, 2007

by Timothy Prickett Morgan

• Processing Java on mainframe not MSU friendly• Large ERP or BI related data queries drain performance (i.e. DB2)

• Enter the new IBM specialty engines (IFL, zAAP, zIIP)• Run un-measured• Not speed restricted

• Workloads on specialty engines do not count against MSUs assigned to the GPP

Not All Middleware Is Created Equal Not All Middleware Is Created Equal

• Mainframe middleware deployments vary • distributed runtime• mainframe based server

• Most mainframe middleware is TCB based, incapable of accessing zIIP specialty engine

• Middleware exploitation of specialty engines requires “genetic” alteration to threads

• Ability to run in SRB/TCB mode essential

• Licensed technology

Exploiting zAAP for Optimizing BPMExploiting zAAP for Optimizing BPM

• zAAP exploitation enables the mainframe to effectively handle Java workloads and participate in BPM initiatives• Java is primary platform for running industry-standard BPEL 2.0 (Business Process Execution Language)

• BPEL can provide top-down, process oriented approach for orchestrating mainframe Web services

• Processing intensive BPEL runs within zAAP • Lower TCO - not counted against GPP• Improved performance - not speed restricted

• Run BPEL workflows composed of platform independent, heterogeneous Web services, with better performance and lower cost

• SRB’s are lighter weight dispatchable units (DUs) than TCBs

• zIIPs and zAAPs are not speed restricted

• 50-90% reduction in middleware GPP MSU consumption

• Faster XML/SOAP processing

• Faster ODBC/JDBC processing
