2. Agenda Aduva • Linux Challenges • Introducing OnStage • OnStage Benefits • Features & Architecture • Case Studies • Live Demonstration

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

4. Do you experience these Linux Management challenges ? • Manage a large number of Linux images on mainframe • Configuration compatibility • Compliance due to latest security vulnerabilities • Substantial Downtime while updating systems • Version Consistency across multitudes of Servers • Consistent deployments of IBM middleware (such as WAS, DB2, MQ etc.) and more on top of the Linux stack • Provision new servers with wide varieties of configuration and application types • Increase Linux Skills “on the Job” • Vendor Lock In

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

10. What Does OnStage Do? (Partial list) • 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 • Eases the Complex Configuration and Change of Linux based system • Allows for a single console management of heterogeneous Linux environments – both Mainframes and Distributed, Red Hat and SUSE etc. • Proactively Ensures no Linux Security or System vulnerabilities due to missing updates or upgrades • Learns, Compiles and Utilizes Customer Specific system environment dependencies • 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

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

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

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

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