Platform Alignment of Moab + xCAT Strengths: Dynamic Cloud
Service Management, Scalable and Low Cost Delivery, Rich Policy Flexibility
Weaknesses: Multi-tenancy subscription management, account and contract management
Aligned: Moab+ xCAT is best aligned to a private cloud delivery that focuses on efficiency of use, SLA management between departments and core showback/chargeback scenarios

remote LED status • Remote Console Management
• Serial Console, SOL, Logging, Video Console (no logging) • Remote Target Control
• Local/SAN Boot, Network Boot, iSCSI Boot • Remote Automated Unattended Network Installation
• Auto-Discovery (Zero-Day) • MAC Address Collection • Service Processor Programming • Remote Flashing
• Kickstart, Autoyast, Imaging, Stateless/Diskless, Statelite/Diskelsewhere, iSCSI, Windows Installer, Windows ImageX, COW, Cloning
• Infrastructure Service Management • DHCP (IPv4 & IPv6), DNS, NTP, TFTP, iSCSI, NFS, Active Directory
• VM Management and Provisioning • Scales! Think 100,000 nodes. • xCAT will make you lazy. No need to walk to datacenter again.

Moab Adaptive Computing Suite
• Intelligent decision-automation system • Self-service portal for user access • Integrated accounting • Static and elastic service models • Provides data-center governance
• Balances IT service demands • Organizational policy and business priorities (SLAs) • Unified view of current and future data-center resource availability
• xCAT Automation via xCAT XML/SSL API

xCAT-Moab Key Benefits
• Reduce IT resource delivery time from weeks to minutes • Mitigate risk through consistency, repeatability, and enforcement of site-
specific rules • Respond to dynamically changing circumstances according to
organizational priorities and adjusting workload allocation and modifying infrastructure profiles to optimize service delivery
• Self-service provisioning of physical or virtual infrastructure, including servers, memory, storage, network, software, and licenses
• Implement allocation and billing systems to charge for costs and regulate user demand
© 2012 IBM Corporation 18
xCAT-Moab
• Intelligently automate extreme-scale, heterogeneous data centers with tens of thousands of applications and servers
• Monitor the state of the entire data-center infrastructure and dynamically allocate resources to applications as needed
• Provision stateful and stateless systems with multi-OS software stacks on demand, reducing deployment time to minutes or seconds
• Use application profiles to intelligently place workloads on both physical and virtual resources • Enforce service-level agreements (SLAs) and ensure acceptable quality of service (QoS) for all
users and applications • Anticipate surges in application workload and provision additional resources on demand so that
peak workloads can be accommodated without delay or interruption of services • Identify underutilized resources and pack workloads more tightly to enable existing
servers to complete more workload in less time • Automate system health checks, detect amber light and failure conditions, and
automatically provision replacement servers so that applications finish on schedule without the need for manual intervention
• Monitor power usage, identify underutilized resources, redistribute workloads, and power down idle servers until required
• Provide centralized management across multiple geographically dispersed installations

Green with xCAT+Moab
Reduce your overall power and cooling costs and decrease your organization’s carbon footprint
Moab automatically and seamlessly . . . Places idle servers in power-saving modes (power capping or power down) via xCAT. Schedules nodes based on node temperatures and cost per watt. Maximizes utilization of all CPU cores by orchestrating virtual environments (such as Xen, KVM, ESXi). Reports on energy used by user, project, or resource to give you greater control of energy consumption and accountability.
