Edge Computing Overview

Edge & Infrastructure Services Major component of most IT deployments Serves as the foundation for network computing environments Provide connectivity to clients and servers for network resources such as printers, shared storage, e-mail, Internet connectivity, security and more 5 © Novell Inc, Confidential & Proprietary

The Network Internet Oracle DB Infrastructure Network Storage Firewall, Proxy VPN J 2 EE Server DNS, DHCP FTP Database Cluster Edge Windows, Mac and Linux users Web Server Custer Network Services Admin Tools ERP System or Server Consolidation Application Hosting Administration 6 © Novell Inc, Confidential & Proprietary Mainframe Application Hosting

Why the Edge? Protect Network from intrusions Enhance Security by enforcing access rights and policies Provide Remote Workers with secure tunnels into corporate data 7 © Novell Inc, Confidential & Proprietary Internet

Why the Network? Benefits of Infrastructure Services 8 Maximize the utilization of costly hardware Centralize information and administration tasks Increase employee collaboration and teamwork Enhance Security by enforcing access rights & policies © Novell Inc, Confidential & Proprietary

Web Open Source Technology is clearly Winning Although Microsoft still dominates the Client Open Source Application Server Market next frontier* Open source environments, as illustrated by the Linux/OOS numbers, are a major market factor: We also expect to see the use of open source ASSPs running on other operating systems (e. g. , UNIX) to grow equally dramatically during the same forecast window. 23% growth for Open. Source App Servers on Linux until 2008 * IDC: Red Hat Application Server: An Example of How Choice Is Evolving in the Middleware Market Dec 2004 Doc #32554 9 © Novell Inc, Confidential & Proprietary

DNS 3 out of 4 organizations choose the OSS BIND when installing a DNS server 1 in 4 who don’t and then choose Microsoft tend to be those supporting fewer domains Dan Moore's DNS Survey http: //mydns. bboy. net/survey/l 10 © Novell Inc, Confidential & Proprietary

FTP Pro. FTPd: An old standard Wu. FTPD: Old standard, Not considered secure Pure. FTPd: Lightwieght, fast & Secure Vsftpd: A Very Secure FTP Daemon - Written from Scratch and Fast HTTP Apache taking over as a download protocol Look out for Bittorrent, fast distributed downloads 11 © Novell Inc, Confidential & Proprietary

File Samba helped NIX get into Windows Domains Latest Samba 3. 0 can act as Windows PDC allowing full replacement of NT 4. 0 Apple. Talk HFS- Apple. Connectivity NCPfs – Novell® Connectivity NFS, AFS , etc – UNIX connectivity Linux has the most flexibility of any OS “Interestingly, IT managers who have deployed Linux with Samba have found that Samba requires less expensive and lower power servers than does the Windows software. Additionally, by using open-source software and Linux, managers can remove the expense of Windows server licenses. ” Tom Adelstien, Linux Journal 12 © Novell Inc, Confidential & Proprietary

Why Make the Switch to Linux?

Why Move from UNIX? Linux has become the reference platform for enterprise databases Linux hardware costs less, and is more easily maintained hardware Linux deployments provide IT with more options, more flexibility Choice of vendors for software and support 14 Diverse set of applications and technology options Open Source Code provides “insurance” © Novell Inc, Confidential & Proprietary

Edge Services are Becoming a Commodity “Open source will continue its commoditization of the industry. The list of markets hit with credible open source alternatives lengthens. Starting with the Linux operating system, we now have entries in browsers, enterprise relational databases, application servers, email, and search engines, to name a few. ” - Worldwide Software 2004 -2008 Forecast Summary Aug 2004 Doc #31785 Most edge & network services come bundled with operating system or can be downloaded for free Network appliances becoming mainstream CALs (Client Access License) are under attack from open source Software Linux is driving this commoditization, mostly at the expense of RISC UNIX 15 © Novell Inc, Confidential & Proprietary

Linux is Surpassing UNIX for Quality and Reliability Defects per KLo. C OS Function Failure Rate (per Thousand Lines of Code) (% OS Functions that Failed Against Test Data Set) Unix-B 0. 6 Unix-A 0. 5 0. 4 0. 3 Embedded OS-B 0. 2 0. 1 0 Linux Embedded OS-A Failure Rate (lower is better) Defect Rate (lower is better) 0. 7 40% Ne.

Linux vs. UNIX In a Nutshell Linux Non-proprietary Based on UNIX Huge development & support community Large and growing open source resource base 17 Lower costs: “UNIX workloads at Intel prices” Most UNIX apps now available in Linux compatible versions © Novell Inc, Confidential & Proprietary UNIX Expensive to license, support Proprietary Practical only on RISC-based platforms UNIX consolidation Security target Support

Where are the savings? Hardware UNIX loads are typically run on Linux using commodity class hardware that costs up to 75% LESS than the required UNIX system Hardware Maintenance The move to commodity hardware drives an annual hardware maintenance costs drop of up to 90% Software License Costs Commercial Linux is not free, but annual software license/maintenance fees are typically up to 60% LESS than the UNIX systems they replace 18 © Novell Inc, Confidential & Proprietary

When Should You Make the Switch to Linux?

Three Logical Transition Times When you replace hardware Consider a side by side deployment When you renew hardware service agreements Hardware and hardware maintenance are the largest contributors to IT expense When you upgrade or replace software 20 Most UNIX applications are now available on Linux © Novell Inc, Confidential & Proprietary
