Michael Widenius, criador do software para bancos de dados MySQL, afirmou que levará sua ruidosa campanha de oposição à tomada de controle da Sun Microsystems pela Oracle à China e Rússia, porque a Comissão Europeia parece decidida a aprovar o acordo.

O Serviço Federal de Combate a Monopólios russo ainda estava revisando a transação de sete bilhões de dólares, na semana passada, e havia solicitado a participação de partes interessadas; o Ministério do Comércio da China tampouco aprovou a transação.

“São países poderosos, confiantes e amigos do software de fonte aberta, e têm todo o direito e oportunidade de trabalhar melhor do que a União Europeia quanto a esse caso”, afirmou Widenius em comunicado.

As autoridades regulatórias chinesas vêm exercendo mais seus poderes de combate a monopólios, em transações de companhias mundiais; em março passado, bloquearam a aquisição da China Huiyuan Juice pela Coca-Cola, e impuseram condições à aquisição da Anheuser-Busch pela InBev e à da Sanyo Electric pela Panasonic.

Widenius, um dos mais respeitados criadores de software de fonte aberta, deixou a Sun no ano passado para estabelecer a Monty Program Ab, uma produtora de software para bancos de dados.

A Sun adquiriu a MySQL por 1 bilhão de dólares, em 2008.

A Comissão Europeia inicialmente fez objeções à aquisição da Sun pela Oracle, afirmando estar preocupada com a possibilidade de que a tomada de controle dos bancos de dados MySQL ameaçasse a concorrência nesse mercado.

Mas a Comissão sinalizou em dezembro que provavelmente liberaria a transação antes de 27 de janeiro, quando se esgota o prazo para sua decisão, depois que alguns dos maiores clientes da Oracle alegaram não acreditar que a tomada de controle ameace a competição.

A MySQL foi uma das raras empresas novatas a chegar ao mercado mundial de produtos para bancos de dados —dominado por pesos-pesados da tecnologia como Oracle, IBM e Microsoft— com software e manutenção mais baratos.

Widenius, cuja campanha HelpMySQL angariou 30 mil assinaturas contra a compra da Sun pela Oracle, afirmou que a Comissão Europeia “pode aprovar a transação a qualquer momento”, já que invocou os problemas que um adiamento no negócio traria para a Sun como justificativa de sua aprovação.

A Interon, empresa brasileira dedicada a soluções e serviços baseados em Cobol, com 30 anos de mercado, promove no dia 20 de maio, o seminário “Mainframe Modernization Solution”, no Novotel Center Norte, em São Paulo (SP). O evento conta com a participação das empresas Ateras, HP, HTWC e Microsoft, que apresentarão suas alternativas e soluções para a modernização de ambientes mainframe sem riscos para a operação.

O seminário é uma iniciativa da Interon, que recentemente anunciou sua nova unidade de negócios, a IPM – Interon Platform Modernization, voltada para a modernização de sistemas legados. Durante o evento serão apresentadas as soluções para rehosting e offloading, da HTWC, distribuídas pela companhia. A HTWC é líder no mercado europeu em rehosting, software de conversão e soluções de gerenciamento de aplicações.

Avel Lenttan, business development & marketing da HTWC, fará uma palestra sobre como impulsionar negócios e economizar custos com a modernização do mundo mainframe. Cindy Howard, EVP Conversion Solutions da Ateras, empresa de soluções para modernização e migração de sistemas legados, falará sobre como obter recursos de legados através da modernização.

Em seguida, Hewitt Wright, da divisão Enterprise Platform Modernization Team da Microsoft Corporation, apresenta a palestra “Modernização de Mainframe”. Antonio Couto, arquiteto de soluções da HP, fecha a programação com a apresentação do tema “Infraestrutura adaptável HP, uma alternativa ao ambiente mainframe”.

O evento é voltado a gestores de TI que buscam alternativas para modernizar e reduzir custos com aplicações de legados. Para participar é necessário se cadastrar no site www.interon.com.br até o dia 15 de maio de 2009.

A combinação Weblogic (para Java) e Tuxedo (para rehost COBOL) com produtos SOA para integração e novos processos de negócio pode ser bem compreendida através dele.

Pode se ver as camadas construídas com Oracle Tuxedo e Oracle Weblogic hospedando a lógica empresarial com o Tuxedo recebendo aplicações COBOL e C tanto novas como legadas e o Weblogic Server para aplicações JEE. Ambos aderem totalmente a Oracle SOA Suite.

Esta abordagem permite disponibilizar serviços legados (mainframe) em SOA de forma direta e sem reescrita de códigos.

Arquitetura SOA de modernização

Este tipo de arquitetura eu já estava sabendo que viria e viria para brigar forte com a AMD e sua arquitetura Hyper Transport, além da briga em performance a Intel havia mencionado que o custo seria muito similar…

Bem eu tive lendo um artigo interessante e sobre esse assunto no Howstuffworks brasileiro e achei por bem passar a todos da comunidade…

http://informatica.hsw.uol.com.br/arquitetura-processador-nehalem.htm

Isso pode ser interrante também para aqueles que desenvolvem aplicativos para tirar o máximo proveito, em performance de máquina, principalmente sobre processos que trabalham, acessam e alocam muita memória, e, nesse caso a Intel tinha uma grande desvantagem de modo geral com a AMD e seu HyperTransport.

Apesar dessas novas tecnologias da Intel e AMD, quem quiser mais informações sobre esse tipo de assunto a Sun tem no mercado já a um bom tempo processadores com 8 cores e 4threads por core ou mais novo com 8 threads por core.

• UltraSPARC T2 -  processor with 8-core, 64-thread.
• UltraSPARC T1 -  processor with 8-core, 32-thread.

Com a nova versão do Oracle Tuxedo 10gR3 já é possível oferecer escala e performance da categoria mainframes em sistemas abertos e distribuidos em C, C++ e COBOL, “sendo a principal plataforma para fazer um “re-hosting” dos aplicativos de mainframe em hardware comum.”, conforme a própria Oracle.

Com disponibilidade da opção SALT para habilitar SOA do Tuxedo, o Oracle SALT fornece um gateway de Web Services bidirecional, baseado em padrões e container.

O Oracle Tuxedo 10g R3 é certificado com o Oracle Clusterware para melhorar a disponibilidade dos aplicativos novos e existentes. Como o Oracle Clusterware também é certificado com o Oracle Real Application Clusters, a integração entre o Oracle Tuxedo 10g R3 e o Oracle Real Application Clusters é significativamente melhorada.

Segundo Frank Xiong, vice-presidente de Desenvolvimento de Software Oracle. “A modernização do mainframe e o re-hosting representam um enorme mercado, já que 70% dos dados mundiais residem em mainframes. O Oracle Tuxedo é o segredo para desbloquear esses dados e, aprimorando sua integração ao Oracle Fusion Middleware e ampliando seu suporte para padrões de mercado, estamos fornecendo uma plataforma que gera benefícios reais para os negócios.”

Tuxedo (acrônimo para Transactions for Unix, Extended for Distributed Operations) é um middleware utilizado para gerenciar transações distribuídas em sistemas computacionais. Foi projetado e desenvolvido pela AT&T em 1984 visando à criação e administração de sistemas de comércio eletrônico com transações online. Atualmente o sistema é propriedade da empresa Oracle após a compra da BEA Systems

Está marcada para o final de fevereiro a estreia das Casas Bahia no comércio eletrônico. A grande novidade do projeto é que o consumidor poderá experimentar os produtos como se estivesse numa loja tradicional.

O cliente que procurar uma geladeira, por exemplo, vai poder abrir virtualmente a porta do eletrodoméstico, inspecionar os compartimentos e ter alguém que o auxilie na hora da compra. “Vamos procurar esclarecer no site o que o cliente quer saber do vendedor. Queremos estabelecer um diálogo”, diz o diretor administrativo e financeiro da rede, Michael Klein.

Ele não dá detalhes das novidades que o seu canal de vendas eletrônico terá. Conta apenas que estão sendo realizadas mais de mil filmagens de demonstração de produtos, que serão ofertados na rede. O objetivo é ter maior interatividade num canal de vendas que ele considera impessoal. Segundo Klein, pesquisas revelam que uma boa parte das compras na internet não são fechadas porque os usuários não têm familiaridade com o computador. O projeto do comércio eletrônico estava previsto para entrar em funcionamento no fim do ano passado.

Os mainframes estão de volta! Aliás, estão na moda. Mas não aqueles que rodavam MVS, ocupavam o CPD inteiro e exigiam resfriamento à água.

Refiro-me aos servidores frutos da tendência atual de TI Verde que estão consolidando boa parte do processamento das empresas e que rodam Linux, Unix ou até mesmo Windows. E quem os tem não os chama de mainframe, mas apenas de “servidor principal”.

Quem está no mundo da tecnologia há algum tempo percebe que os conceitos atuais de consolidação e virtualização, pilares básicos da TI verde, remontam à década de 70, quando a IBM criou a VM (Virtual Machine). Esta criação, disseminada com o IBM/370 com o sistema operacional VM, permitia que um único mainframe fosse dividido em vários servidores virtuais independentes um dos outros. Esse recurso possibilitava a maximização da utilização do hardware e a multiplexação do seu uso por várias áreas da empresa ou até mesmo por várias empresas diferentes. Quem precisava e podia ter seu próprio mainframe sugava até a última gota de processamento do seu asset. Outras empresas recorriam aos Bureaus de Serviços, que alugavam as máquinas virtuais para diversos clientes simultaneamente.

Mas a tecnologia da informação virou diferencial competitivo e como o mainframe não era acessível para todos, a indústria criou o Downsizing na década de 90. Era a chance de novos fabricantes irem buscar clientes com seus produtos que rodavam UNIX.

Nesta época o “servidor departamental” começou a se proliferar e se multiplicou muitas vezes até chegar ao CPD, substituindo o mainframe que algumas empresas já possuíam. E eles foram os responsáveis pelo acesso de muitas outras empresas menores à Tecnologia da Informação.

O fato é que em muitas empresas o crescimento desenfreado destes servidores acabou criando outros problemas: utilização ineficiente do hardware, complexidade na administração e heterogeneidade demasiada nos sistemas operacionais. Então, aos poucos, alguns CIOs começaram a juntar estes servidores no mesmo ambiente e a pensar em como otimizar o seu uso.

A primeira iniciativa foi a consolidação. Era necessário diminuir o número de servidores espalhados pela empresa e trazê-los para perto de uma equipe centralizada de administradores.

Em 1999, surgiu a VMware, empresa criada por ex-IBMers que conheciam virtualização e viram na bagunça dos servidores Intel subutilizados a oportunidade de otimizar o processamento com o seu software.

Em 2001, a IBM lançou seu primeiro servidor UNIX com particionamento lógico. O pSeries p690 permitia que até 16 máquinas virtuais, chamadas de LPARs (Logical Partitions), fossem criadas e rodassem simultaneamente o Sistema Operacional AIX ou Linux.

Estava pronta a infra-estrutura necessária para consolidar o ambiente de TI. Empresas atentas aos benefícios da consolidação através da virtualização adotaram rapidamente uma destas alternativas para tornar seus ambientes de TI mais eficientes, reduzir a complexidade e melhorar a administração.

Mas faltava talvez uma força maior que impulsionasse todos os clientes para esta solução. Daí veio a “onda verde”. Começou-se a dar mais importância aos custos de energia elétrica e ao espaço utilizado pelos servidores. Percebeu-se que isto era uma componente importante no custo total da área de TI. Soma-se a isso a importância para a natureza de se poupar alguns Kwatts e finalmente todo mundo começa a analisar seus ambientes computacionais e a tentar otimizá-los.

É aí que entra o meu conceito de “mainframe”. Para empresas que possuem até 10 servidores Intel é possível afirmar que cada um tem utilização média de menos de 50% (estudos do IDC e Gartner dizem que a utilização varia entre 5 e 15%). Se eles tiverem entre dois e cinco anos, devem ter processadores de 2 GHz. Isso significa que este cliente usa 10 GHz de processamento (10 servidores x 2 GHz x 50% de utilização). Ele estaria apto a comprar um “mainframe”.
