System z Top Gun © 2008,2009 IBM Corporation 6 What is Sub-Capacity?

System z Top Gun © 2008,2009 IBM Corporation 7 sub- (prefix) Below; under; beneath: subsoil. Subdivision: subregion. Less than completely or normally; nearly. System 100 MSUs Full-Capacity Pricing Metrics rely on the total rated capacity of the MACHINE where a product executes. 30 MSUs DB2 CICS z/OS 50 MSUs IMS z/OS ibm.com/zseries/library/swpriceinfo/hardware.html G What is Sub-Capacity? Sub-Capacity Pricing Metrics rely on the utilization of the LPAR(s) where a product executes.

System z Top Gun © 2008,2009 IBM Corporation 8 Generic Sub-Capacity Example SYSA SYSBSYSC 219 MSUs 139 MSUs z/OS DB2 z/OS z/OS z9 EC 240 MSUs DB2 = 139 MSUs z/OS = 219 MSUs

System z Top Gun © 2008,2009 IBM Corporation 9 Who is Eligible for Sub-Capacity?

System z Top Gun © 2008,2009 IBM Corporation 10 Workload License Charges* *WLC are available on System z10, z9 EC, z990, z900, z9 BC (plex), z890 (plex) and z800 (plex) Full-Capacity mode - use rated MSU capacity or Sub-Capacity mode - use MSU values from Sub- Capacity Reports System z10 z/OS 64-bit z/OS in 64-bit mode required. Remove all OS/390 for a CEC to qualify…

System z Top Gun © 2008,2009 IBM Corporation 11 Entry Workload License Charges for z10 BC, z9 BC and z890 z10 BC-A01, z9 BC- A01 and z are the exception to this rule, and are priced using zELC Full-Capacity mode - use rated MSU capacity or Sub-Capacity mode - use MSU values from Sub- Capacity Reports System z10 z/OS 64-bit z/OS in 64-bit mode required. Remove all OS/390 for a CEC to qualify…

System z Top Gun © 2008,2009 IBM Corporation 12 Sub-Capacity Possible Benefits  Grow Hardware Capacity Independently of Software Capacity –Pay for software only based on the LPAR(s) where the software executes –Grow software with 1 MSU level of granularity –Spike into "spare" capacity without software charges –Manage utilization without having to turn engines on and off  Flexibility to Pay for What you Need each Month –In the case of ELA, your monthly payments are fixed and your actual sub-capacity monthly software inventory value is compared against your MLC cap  Pay on Average Utilization, not Maximum Utilization –Highest observed rolling 4-hour average utilization across a month –Sub-Capacity Reporting Tool manages measurement/reporting

System z Top Gun © 2008,2009 IBM Corporation 13  z/VSE V4: –z/Architecture (64-bit) mode only z10 EC, z10 BC, z9 EC, z9 BC, z990, z890, z900, z800 –Up to 8 GB real processor storage  z/VSE Price/Performance Through New Pricing Metric –Midrange Workload License Charges – MWLC Low full capacity price points Sub-capacity option Available on System z10 and System z9 servers only (z10 BC, z10 EC, z9 BC and z9 EC)  Additional Price/Performance Through Sub-Capacity –Some hardware footprint consolidations more attractive now  MWLC requires current servers (z10 BC, z10 EC / z9 EC / z9 BC) and z/VSE V4 –Presence of z/VSE V3 or VSE/ESA forces full-capacity pricing * z9 BC A01 is priced zELC, not MWLC z/VSE V4 – New Pricing Metric & Sub-Capacity!
