PURPOSE:
During this session, the participants
will learn about the key technology features offered by IBM POWER Systems
virtualization that are exploited by AIX, Linux, and POWER archutecture.
This is a Face-to-Face instructor
led workshop that allows the audience to understand IBM virtualization
concepts and features offered by IBM POWER architecture and PowerVM technologies.
This workshop is equally ideal for
vendors who are competing IBM Power architecture with their portfolio of
server technologies. A platform capable of running different operating
systems and versions in parallel under a virtualized environment.
Today, virtualization is a standard
practice in enterprise IT architecture. It is also the technology that
drivescloud computingeconomics. Virtualization enables cloud providers
to serve users with their existing physical computer hardware; it enables
cloud users to purchase only the computing resources they need when they
need it, and to scale those resources cost-effectively as their workloads
grow.
AUDIENCE:
System administrators, technical
support individuals, IBM Business Partners who implement or are planning
to implement virtualization on IBM POWER Systems and fresh graduates from
engineering and MBA background who want to start their career as Technical
and Sales Specialists in the area IBM virtualization technologies.
This workshop is equally ideal for;
-
System Architects
-
Solution Architects
-
System Integrators
-
IT Consultants
-
IBM Customers
-
IT Managers
-
IBM Business Partner
-
IBM Competitors
PREREQUISITES:
Basic understanding of computer
systems environments, general networking and operating systems.
VIRTUALIZATION IN A VIEW:
IBM has a 40-plus year history of
virtualization. No other vendor can come close to making this claim. The
fact is that virtually everything they have implemented on the mid-range,
has already been done on the mainframe.
IBM offer one virtualization strategy,
PowerVM, unlike the myriad of solutions available from Sun or HP. The technology
itself uses a hypervisor-based solution (which IBM has finally implemented
though Xen, but only on their x86 platform), which sits between the operating
system and the hardware.
