Why?
Availability
System performance
Reduction in complexity
Increase focus of IT resources on business demands
The effectiveness of ERP solutions is not only determined by application functionality. The underlying IT infrastructures also contribute to – or impair – the value solutions bring to a business. Escalating demands on availability and security are coupled with a continuing emphasis on IT cost-effectiveness. The choice of server platform will have a long term impact (likely 5-10 years) on how well these challenges are met.
Study compared cost implications of eServer i5, HP Integrity, Dell PowerEdge and Sun in mid-sized companies ($250M to $1B in revenues). Costs include hardware, maintenance, and systems and database software (including licenses, update subscriptions and support) costs, along with personnel costs for system, storage and database administration. Personnel costs include salaries, benefits and related items.

6. Why do clients buy i? Because there’s real value in integration
Because reliability is a feature, not an option
Because it supports mixed workloads on a single server, with stability, at high levels of system utilization
Because it practically manages itself
Because it’s more secure by design, providing natural defenses against viruses and the vulnerabilities which they attempt to exploit
Investment protection of IT assets
Why does iSeries continue to chalk up impressive results? Because it offers clear business value in the ways it can be distinguished from other popular platform choices:
Technology solutions are assembled from hardware and software components. Somebody has to provide the integration. The question is who? Other platforms are typically assembled by people with highly technical systems integration skills, often integrating hardware and software which is acquired from different vendors, and usually at a cost. iSeries hardware and software, by contrast, is integrated by the IBM team which develops it. The solution is shipped ready to use. It is difficult to overestimate the business benefit of this integration, especially as hardware and software components change over time.
A byproduct of iSeries integration is reliability. The IBM development team is accountable for the integrated solution it provides. iSeries has earned an enviable reputation in the industry for high single-system reliability.
The sophisticated work management built into iSeries allows multiple workloads to run in multiple environments at high levels of system utilization without sacrificing stability. In other environments, multiple workloads are typically deployed on multiple servers, which adds complexity and cost while also being a less efficient use if I/T resources.
Built in automation minimizes the need for human intervention. iSeries customers typically operate with a smaller staff, especially as application workloads become more rigorous.
With iSeries, security has been a design point from day one. It’s object-based design provides a natural defense against common virus attacks. It’s built-in security and audit tools provide the building blocks to conduct business with confidence.
Other operating systems and the applications which they support are aware of the underlying hardware. Consequently, a change to the technology carries a corresponding impact to the operating system and applications running on it. This is costly and disruptive to businesses, but is often overlooked or unanticipated when technology decisions are made. iSeries is not defined by hardware. It was developed with a “technology independent machine interface” which has allowed us to continuously introduce advances in technology (e.g. 48-bit CISC to 64-bit RISC processor technology) with virtually no disruption to applications or, more importantly, to the businesses which use them.

A materialized query table is a table whose definition is based on the result of a query. As such, the materialized query table typically contains precomputed results based on the data existing in the table or tables that its definition is based on. In a future release, the optimizer will look at the materialized query table and determine whether a query will run more efficiently against a materialized query table than the base table or tables. If it will run faster, then the query will run against the materialized query table. You can directly query a materialized query table.
Beginning in V5R3, DB2 UDB for iSeries will support partitioned tables using SQL. Partitioning allows for the data to be stored in more than one member, but the table appears as one object for data manipulation operations, such as queries, inserts, updates, and deletes. The partitions inherit the design characteristics of the table on which they are based, including the column names and types, constraints, and triggers.
Partitioning will allow you to have much more data in your tables. Without partitioning, there is a maximum of 4 billion rows in a table, or a maximum size of 1.7 terabytes. A partitioned table, however, can have many partitions, with each partition able to have the maximum table size. You must have DB2 Multisystem installed on your iSeries server in order to take advantage of partitioned tables support.

9. Integration yields automation
Many typical Database Administrator task are automated with DB2 for iSeries, while the others are managed from iSeries Navigator making it easier for the IT Staff to administer. Space allocation is dynamically manage. Program and File locations are dynamically managed and data is automatically redistributed to drives. iSeries Navigator handles a multitude of tasks like creating and maintaing of indexes for tables.

17. Typical WebSphere Portal Server Deployment without System i
Minimum 3 Servers or Logical Partitions
3 – 2-4 way servers
Multiple Software Stacks to Maintain
1) Workplace Server
2) DB2 Server
3) Directory Server
4) HTTP Server
5) LDAP Server
When you look at a typical deployment of WCS/WSE on other platforms there is robust foundation of software stacks that need to be deployed, Here in this example with multiple dispatchers, http servers, WCS/WSE Nodes, ldap server, Deployment manager servers and Databases servers. This is a typical high availability environment for a Workplace implementation. Without HA we still would be looking at a minimum of 3 servers or logical partitions for these components.
iSeres can help reduce the complexity of such a solution by minimizing the footprint needed to deploy a Workplace solution

18. Integration yields simplicity
PC Servers:
Multiple workloads, multiple servers
System i:
Multiple workloads, one server
Multiple workloads does not have to mean multiple servers. iSeries value comes in the ability to run multiple workloads. iSeries runs multiple workloads on ONE Serve, not dedicated servers for each workload which typically yields to servers running a low Average Utilization %.
Using the iSeries, integrated system, yields much simplicity for more efficient use of IT resources and helps faster deployments and better return on investments.

This integration holds true for Workplace Collaboration Software solutions. These solutions are made up of a Directory Server, Application Server, DB2 Server, and HTTP Servers that all run on one server. Many of the Workplace implementations have all software stacks running on the same iSeries server reducing the number of servers to manage and complexity of the Workplace environment. iSeries can also run multiple Workplaces Nodes on the same server for Network Deployment and High Availability Solutions.
