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

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

The next step is to deploy
the agents:
-Work is done in parallel
-A distributed computing
Model is used
-Targets can be grouped,
-Clients can belong
to more than one group
-Agent inventories stored

Case StudyLeading Book Store & Online Chain Overview
Linux selected as the platform to host a new customer facing Web Services application with the application stack load balanced across Mainframe and distributed.
IT challenges– Maintain systems at required security
patch levels– Improve uniformity of application
configurations– Resources have limited Linux and
Mainframe skills– Manage both Mainframe and Intel
The Aduva enabler– Aduva KnowledgeBase provides automated
updates and notifications– Abstract application setup from underlying
OS/HW– Single tool for Mainframe/Distributed and Red
Hat/SUSE
The IT benefits– Security patches applied uniformly and quickly– Applications such as Oracle, configured uniformly
across platforms– Complexities to manage Linux reduced by providing
level of abstraction above Mainframe / Distributed and Red Hat / SUSE
The business outcome– Minimize overhead of managing Linux– Lowered the Linux learning curve for SAs– Less downtime - servers are properly configured– Minimize time to adopt Linux
Manage Mainframe with SUSE distribution for web and database applications
23
IT challenges– Manage a cross architecture
environment, Mainframe and distributed. Red Hat and SUSE.
– Automate the process to provision new servers
– Keep production environment up to date with all latest security vulnerabilities, and bug fixes while ensuring no downtime.
– Configuration and change management across all servers
The Aduva Enabler– Aduva KnowdlegeBase provides
automated updates and notifications for Red Hat and SUSE
– Built-in security check and simulation to validate compliance
– Automate provisioning capabilities.– Smooth Production roll out
The IT benefits– Provisioning of a new Linux machine
in minutes
– Single solution for Red Hat and SUSE, Mainframe and distributed, Security patches applied uniformly across servers
• The business outcome– Improve manageability & efficiency – Improved production roll out
– Decrease complexity
OverviewLinux was selected as the enabler to move to a web-based architecture. The move is driven by the desire for a single customer view while reducing complexity and operating costs.
