IBM Bluemix Hybrid Cloud example application using Oracle Database on Linux for IBM z Systems

Neil Bryan – Project Lead, Technology [email protected]


IntroductionMyLynx* is an example application which demonstrates the following features of the Bluemix™ hosting platform, in a hybrid cloud configuration, with the Oracle Database 12c running on Linux® for IBM z Systems™.

The application has the following functionality:– Store and retrieve browser url links.– Retrieve and share url links.– Browse, active/inactivate links.– Point, click and launch links.– Retrieve and execute outside of your corporate network,

while still saving to the corporate secure repository on z Systems.

* MyLynx is a simple application created solely for demonstration purposes and is not an IBM product.


Project ComponentsThe project has been architectured to run in the IBM Bluemix cloud but utilizing the existing on premise database. This configuration is referred to as a ‘hybrid cloud’.

The application has the following key components:

– Java™ Application / simplistic restful api’s.

– Hosted on IBM Bluemix Cloud

– Presented by Websphere® liberty

– Secured by Docker on Redhat Linux7.1

– Stored in Oracle Database 12c Enterprise Edition

– Stability and Security of IBM z Systems on Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.

IBM Bluemix developer cloud

Bluemix is an implementation of IBM's Open Cloud Architecture, based on Cloud Foundry, that enables you to rapidly create, deploy, and manage your cloud applications. Because Bluemix is based on Cloud Foundry, you can tap into a growing ecosystem of runtime frameworks and services. In addition to providing additional frameworks and services, Bluemix provides a dashboard for you to create, view, and manage your applications and services as well as monitor your application's resource usage. The Bluemix dashboard also provides the ability to manage organizations, spaces, and user access.

Bluemix provides access to a wide variety of services that can be incorporated into an application. Some of these services are delivered through Cloud Foundry. Others are delivered from IBM and third party vendors. New and enhanced services are added to the catalog often. To see the current list of runtimes and services, and their status go to the Bluemix catalog.

FAQMyLynx project is an example project designed by IBM USA, and the IBM Oracle Enablement team.

The application is a simple demonstration of the IBM Bluemix cloud running a secure connection to an on premise Oracle 12c database running on Linux for IBM z Systems. MyLynx can be used to store, and retrieve URL web links from any device, but still having the security of the corporate systems.

The architecture is designed to be scalable to any application and organization.

Notes: Performance is in Internal Throughput Rate (ITR) ratio based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput that any user will experience will vary depending upon considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve throughput improvements equivalent to the performance ratios stated here. IBM hardware products are manufactured from new parts, or new and serviceable used parts. Regardless, our warranty terms apply.All customer examples cited or described in this presentation are presented as illustrations of the manner in which some customers have used IBM products and the results they may have achieved.
