Linux Challenges “ 75% of all server security breaches are the result of improperly configured or un-patched servers. ” “ 80% of application and system downtime is the result of system misconfigurations and operator error. ” Source: IDC Disaster Recovery Support Red Hat & SUSE Resolve RPM Dependencies View inventory Compare Systems Configure Systems Simulate Change Support Mainframe & Intel Rollback Manage Changes Patch Servers Delegate Responsibilities Obtain Patches Replicate Systems On-Demand Provisioning 3

Do you experience these Linux Management challenges ? l Manage a large number of Linux images on mainframe l Configuration compatibility l Compliance due to latest security vulnerabilities l Substantial Downtime while updating systems l Version Consistency across multitudes of Servers l Consistent deployments of IBM middleware (such as WAS, DB 2, MQ etc. ) and more on top of the Linux stack l Provision new servers with wide varieties of configuration and application types l Increase Linux Skills “on the Job” l Vendor Lock In 4

Introducing Aduva Onstage to address these challenges l Single console, Intuitive, easy to install… l Manages heterogeneous Linux environments; – Mainframes and Distributed – SUSE and Red Hat for s/390 and z. Series – Under z/VM and/or on LPARs – Enabling mini disk sharing l Manages Complex Configurations l Automates the System Deployment– from Testing, thru Deployment to Production l Instantaneous replication across all servers l Manages rapid Changes to Linux based systems l Ensures protection for Security and System vulnerabilities due to continuous Linux updates l Aduva On. Stage: Your VMSES/E, SMP/E for the Linux environment 5

What Does On. Stage Do? (Partial list) l Automates the System Deployment and Management of Linux based systems and applications – from Testing, thru Deployment and Production for either Mainframe and or Distributed environments l Eases the Complex Configuration and Change of Linux based system l Allows for a single console management of heterogeneous Linux environments – both Mainframes and Distributed, Red Hat and SUSE etc. l Proactively Ensures no Linux Security or System vulnerabilities due to missing updates or upgrades l Learns, Compiles and Utilizes Customer Specific system environment dependencies l Proactively Detects dependency conflicts, Analyzes sources of incompatibilities, Recommends and Resolves appropriate fixes and can automate resolution distribution across a whole topology of servers – WITH NO SYSTEM DOWNTIME 10

What can be accomplished with On. Stage l Shortens the Linux system management learning curve l Enable a limited staff to scale their management of large numbers of servers l Faster Linux system builds, tests and deployments l Increased stability and security in deploying properly configured Linux systems l Automated provisioning, replication and distribution of stable Linux environments l Reduce Production Support downtime and breakage due to improperly implemented systems, updates and upgrades l Resolves and updates with minimal downtime 11

Addressing the Deployment Weak Loop – Testing to Production System Build Problem 1 System Testing System Staging Production & Support System Deployment “ 80% of application and system downtime is the result of system mis-configurations and operator error. ” Problem 2 Source: IDC Production Support; Changes & Update “ 75% of all server security breaches are the result of improperly configured or un-patched servers. ” Source: IDC Solution On. Stage automates and introduces adaptive intelligence to what is a predominant manual function today 12

What is unique about On. Stage? § Abstracts the Physical System Logic for reuse On. Stage System Logic Layer § Automates the Physical Deployment business process System Deployment § Configuration Management Change Management Patch Control Creates a Complete System Dependency Knowledgebase - Detect dependency conflicts Analyze source of conflict Resolve conflict including software distribution fix DETECT ANALYZE RESOLVE § Integrate Dependency Knowledge into where it provides intelligence to the Physical Deployment Business process § An intuitive learning process for users to gain confidence 13

How Aduva works l Parallel Architecture - intelligent host agents and a centralized management server l Bi lateral interactions between Server and agents l Incorporates a Knowledge base of generic Linux dependencies from Aduva Labs l Automatically Builds customer specific dependencies rules on site l Facilitates the Management activities of – Application deployment, – Configuration Management, – Change management and Patch Control l Injects Dependency knowledge; – – Proactively Detects dependency conflicts, Analyzes sources of incompatibilities, Recommends and Resolves appropriate fixes Schedules automated resolution distribution 14
