WHAT
What’s our purpose?
Our Objectives To build an ecosystem of:
1. IBM software
2. Industry ISV software
3. Open source Software
That:
1. Helps us satisfy current clients needs
2. Helps us bring new clients to z
3. Makes z Systems a leading platform for
DevOps, Hybrid Cloud, Containers & Micro
services
Our Utopian Dream All IBM, 3rd party industry ISV and Open source
software ported, performance tested and
supported on Linux on z or on z/OS….
The Pragmatic Reality We have to prioritise what applications we
focus on first, based on what clients need and
for that we need regular client & z seller /
technical feedback
HOW
How are we planning to achieve these objectives?
Aim:
To create a single view of all the IBM
and ISV vendors that zSystems are:
• Evaluating (target list based on our
knowledge to date and requests
from field)
• Progressing (discussions around
porting, or porting underway)
• Completed (ongoing currency focus
ie. KVMz or new distro – Ubuntu –
required here)
• Have dropped (low volume or not
suited to zSystems architecture)Process to Capture
this feedback & prioritize it

EVALUATION OF
SOFTWARE BASED ON
CLIENT POPULARITY
1. Wider support for open
technologies
2. More third party application
vendors on z more quickly
3. Direct client interface in to
ecosystem to help us
prioritise and deliver a larger
ecosystem
4. More support for our existing
clients around new
technologies
…..
Learn from clients and
our Geo & market
teams so we can…
