IBM News - IBM to support Windows servers on mainframes
IBM says it will support servers running Microsoft Windows on one of its mainframe platforms by the end of this year.
In a post last week titled "zEnterprise support for Microsoft Windows," IBM said, "In the fourth quarter of 2011, IBM intends to offer select IBM System x blades running Microsoft Windows in the IBM Ibm thinkpad r60 battery zEnterprise BladeCenter Extension Model 002."
HISTORY: Microsoft Windows after 25 years
zEnterprise is a mainframe product line introduced last year, while System x is IBM's line of x86 servers for Windows and Linux. With the BladeCenter extension, System x servers are integrated with the mainframe and managed from the same console.
Analyst Wayne Kernochan of Infostructure Associates expressed excitement about IBM's upcoming move in a new article titled "IBM's 2011 System z: Windows Support Is Big News."
It's not quite full integration between Windows and the mainframe but it's an important step, he writes. Windows Compaq nc6000 battery and the mainframe, he notes, have been the two most difficult server platforms to combine, partly due to technical difficulties and partly because IBM and Microsoft seem to think "users just don't care that much."
"Full support of application-level administration and load balancing for Windows platforms is not yet in the IBM roadmap," Kernochan writes. "And as for full integration of Windows platforms with the mainframe in a private cloud, that's at the very least not yet in the roadmap, and perhaps a goal that may never be reached."
Still, he adds, "This does not mean that IBM's planned support for Windows on zEnterprise is incomplete. On the contrary, IBM has applied its usual combination of strong technology and services to allow users to implement IBM System x blades running Windows that integrate seamlessly into the overall zEnterprise solution."
Kernochan also discusses the value of integrating Windows, Linux and IBM's z/OS mainframe operating system.
"If we can imitate enough of Windows on Linux or on Linux-supporting blades, we can move most Windows apps to scale-up servers when needed (Unix/Linux and/or mainframe)," he writes.
Third-party vendors will make tools to treat Windows virtual machines "as just another system for purposes of backup/recovery, monitoring, load balancing, and distributed-application creation," Kernochan writes. Those tools won't be ready in 2011, but "even with these limitations, IBM's dell d630 battery promised Windows support will be immediately valuable to many organizations," he writes.
The IBM announcement said System x blades running Linux will be available for zEnterprise beginning in the third quarter of 2011. IBM initially did not plan to add Windows support, but changed course based on customer feedback.
"The reaction to delivering IBM System x capabilities has been very positive, with our clients also asking that we support Microsoft Windows," IBM says.

What is Db2? History, Editions, and Video Illustrations
Historical Background
DB2 is a relational database management system produced by IBM that IBM refers to as a "data server." What is a relational database? A relational database is a set of files that has been analyzed for all of the relationships between fields. The related fields are pulled out of the original files in order to minimize redundancy in the data being stored. For example, instead of storing the information that TN is the state Tennessee in every record, that information is pulled out of the original file and stored only once in a state code file.
The idea of a relational database first arose in 1970 when Dr. E.F. Codd formally stated a number of algebraic rules that could be applied to data manipulation. IBM left the application of Codd's principles to a group of programmers that created a language that was eventually called SQL (Structured Query Language). DB2 was the name given to the Database Management System in 1982, and it is the first database to use SQL.
At first, DB2 was only available on IBM mainframes, but during the 1990's DB2 spread to many other platforms, LUW (Linux, Unix, Windows), mid-range computers i5/OS (formerly AS/400) and even on PDAs. During the 90s, IBM also introduced it's Universal Server. The Universal Server shifted the technology to an object-related SQL DBMS that allows developers to define their own data types from more primitive data types.
In 2001, IBM bought Informix and incorporated many of it's database features into the DB2 product suite.
In 2006, IBM announced "Viper," the codename for DB2 9 on distributed platforms and DB2 9 on z/OS. DB2 9 offers the ability to store XML "natively," and it also allows storage compression to save on disk space. pureXML(tm) is the name that IBM uses to talk about the ability to store XML natively.
IBM's biggest competitors are Teradata for Data Warehousing and Oracle. Microsoft's SQL Server and MySQL are serious competitors in the smaller environments.
