Improving The Economics of Mainframe SOA Enablement:Exploiting zIIP/zAAP Specialty Engines Through Next Generation Middleware
- 1. Improving The Economics of Mainframe SOA Enablement Exploiting zIIP/zAAP Specialty Engines Through Next Generation Middleware
- 2. Who is DataDirect Technologies? • Operating Company of Progress Software Corp. • public company (PRGS) – $500m turnover • Profitable, 20+ years in business • 3 product lines: Data Connectivity, Data Integration, Mainframe Integration • Established • Q+E Software &Technosis, Intersolv, Merant, DataDirect • 3 Development centers, 2 in the US, 1 in Belgium (Duffel) • Proven Multi-channel approach (OEM & Corporate) • Focused On • Reducing data connectivity and Integration Complexity • Improving Interoperability & Performace • Lowering Total Cost of Ownership
- 3. DataDirect’s Unparalled Product Line Session Outline Changing role of z/OS (as a full participant in SOA) Shadow Unified Architecture Impact of MIPS growth IBMs zIIP and zAAP specialty engines Shadows Exploitation of zIIP and zAAP Benefits and lowering TCO
- 4. SOA 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
- 5. Shadow Simplifies Mainframe SOA Enablement
- 6. Shadow – Technology Components • 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 • 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
- 7. DataDirect Shadow Platform Details • Multiple Industry Standard Interfaces • Web Services (SOAP) • Direct SQL Access • Real Time Events • Web Enablement • BPEL 2.0 • Multiple Mainframe Assets • Data: DB2, VSAM, IMS/DB, Adabas • Applications: CICS, IMS/TM, IDMS, Natural • Universal Shadow Studio • Eclipse based window to the mainframe • Enterprise Class Features • Shadow Instrumentation Server • Security Optimization & Management • Workload Manager integration • Industry standard BPEL for service orchestration • Full XA 2PC support with RRS • Multi-tasking and multi-threaded • Maintains mainframe QofS – performance, scalability, security • Offload work to the zIIP
- 8. Tools To Simplify Development & Reuse Data as a Service From SOAP to BPEL From SQL to SOAP
- 9. 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 services • Enterprise class management needed for integration
- 10. 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 day • 50 CPU hours per month (greater than 2 days) • Typical SOM savings > 99%
- 11. Shadow – Core Functionality • 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 • Maintains mainframe QofS – performance, scalability, security • Manageability • Instrumentation Server • Sysplex Trace/Browse • Auditable / Charge back • Exploitation of sophisticated z/OS features • Workload Manager • Security Authentication (SOM) • Coupling Facility (XCF) • Offload work to the zIIP
- 12. 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 • 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 The IBM Mainframe Base: Alive and Kicking Published: July 10, 2007 by Timothy Prickett Morgan
- 13. Exploiting IBM Innovation IBM introduces new Improves Strategic new architectural mainframe mainframe features - specialty viability innovation engines - IFL (Linux) Addresses competitive zAAP (Java) threats zIIP (database) New innovation Next generation mainframe middleware that uniquely exploits zIIP/zAAP specialty engines Significant performance enhancements for SOA Dramatic improvement in mainframe TCO
- 14. IBM Exploitation of zIIP Specialty Engine • IBM’s original focus for the zIIP was related to DB2 and support for ERP/CRM/BI data intensive workloads • Better performance and TCO associated with DB2 High Utilization of General Purpose Processor Reduced Utilization of General Purpose Processor
- 15. Exploiting zIIP for Enhanced SOA Performance • Next generation middleware exploits zIIP for SOA related workloads • Dramatic improvement in SOA performance and TCO Middleware SOAP/XML Request Offload Processing Results – Low to zIIP in High Utilization of GPP
- 16. 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
- 17. Which Shadow Features Exploit zIIP? • Shadow Foundation • Shadow Networking & TCP/IP Communications layer • Shadow Instrumentation Server (Logging & Tracing) • SOAP and XML Processing/Parsing • Shadow Internal Messaging Shadow XA support Shadow’s Scripting Language • Security Optimization & Mgmt. (SOM) • Shadows ODBC & JDBC processing • Shadow Event Facility (SEF) • Shadows SQL Engine • Metadata Mapping • HTX Processing • …….. 50-98% middleware MSU SAVING
- 18. Exploiting 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
- 19. BPEL Tools for Orchestrating Web Services with BPEL Industry Standard BPEL Workflow Drag & Drop WSDL for Orchestration
- 20. Benefits: zIIP/zAAP Exploitation • Improved performance • 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 • Lower TCO • Workloads running on zIIP or zAAP not counted against GPP • MSU consumption of middleware will be lower • Lowers total software cost based on MSU consumption • Total Mainframe MSU usage will be lower • Lowers total software cost based on MSU consumption
