This is an IBM internal study of a on-line banking workload in a controlled laboratory environment. The IBM system consists of one POWER8 E870 with 40 cores @ 4.19 GHz and 1 TB memory running AIX 7.1 TL3 SP3, WAS ND
8.5.5.3, JDK 7.1 and DB2 v10.5 FP3. The Intel-based system consists of one Ivy Bridge EX (E7-4890 v2) with 60 cores @ 2.8 GHz and 1 TB memory running RHEL 7.0, WAS ND 8.5.5.3, JDK 7.1, and DB2 v10.5 FP3. Customer
applications, differences in the systems deployed and other system variations or testing conditions may produce different results.

Oracle Database Licensing and Virtualization on POWER
• Practical case with Shared Processor Pool (SPP)
• Asses the average workload and peaks and define a shared Processor pool with the corresponding
capacity to reduce the Oracle licensing
CPU = 2.6 / VP = 4
CPU = 1.7 / VP = 4
= 16 processor licenses
CPU = 3.1 / VP = 4
CPU = 2.8 / VP = 4
CPU = 2.6 / VP = 4
CPU = 1.7 / VP = 4
= 7 processor licenses
CPU = 3.1 / VP = 4
CPU = 2.8 / VP = 4
By defining a Shared Processor Pool with
Virtual Shared Processor Pool with 7 processors 7 CPUs the number of Oracle Licenses
required is reduced from 16 to 7.

• Case 2 – Oracle Exadata Database Machine (Intel Haswell-EP) X5-2 Extreme Flash (EF)
• Case 3 – IBM Power System (POWER8) E870 + IBM FlashSystem 900
• The findings:
• The “Enterprise Class” IBM Power System E870 + IBM FlashSystem 900 offers the lowest 5 year TCO - US$
52M
• For Oracle Exadata X5-2 Software Costs are the most dominant factor driven by x86 core proliferation
• IBM POWER8 requires 76% fewer Oracle workload cores than Oracle Exadata X5-2 – this translates into lower
Software Costs
• IBM POWER8 requires 48% fewer Oracle workload cores than IBM POWER7

Refreshing to IBM Power Systems E870 offers a (US$ 6.2M) lower Annual Run Rate or Operating Cost
• Furthermore, any workload would benefit from the truly “Enterprise Class” features and functions offered
by the IBM Power System E870 that include greater Scalability, Performance, and Reliability that go
well beyond those of the smaller models.
• IBM Power Systems are an excellent way to efficiently run Oracle. More performance per core means
fewer systems and lower software costs for IBM Power Systems. Even though Oracle charges more for
IBM POWER you can still save in license cost and maintenance terms, as IBM POWER achieves greater
performance per core.
• IBM Power virtualization, PowerVM, is highly efficient compared to other (e.g. x86) virtualization products
due to implementation in firmware.
• Large IBM Power Systems, such as the E870, E880, 770, 780, and 795 with more resources make more
effective virtualization platforms. The more workloads consolidated, the lower the variance (difference
between average and peak utilisation). Consequently, larger servers with capacity to run more workloads
can be driven to higher average utilisation levels without violating service level agreements, thereby
reducing the cost per workload.
