IBM System z and the Road Ahead.
(2.29MB)
Today's interconnected and data consuming applications
are changing the dynamics of IT. As content serving,
real-time business intelligence, and high performance
computing functions are more tightly coupled with
mission critical applications, they become vital to the
operational success of core business transactions. This s
ession will summarize the key milestones in 2008 for
System z and detail plans to deliver a comprehensive
solution for today's increasingly multi-tier and
multi-architecture application landscape.
Linux on System z - A Strategic View.
(2.12MB)
A Strategic View Datacenters today
have a key architectural choice to make in designing
large-scale implementations. Is the best approach to
scale-out with rack-optimized servers or to scale up
with large SMP servers using virtualization facilities
to run many images on a single server? IBM System z is
a 'green' solution which for many users will be the
optimal choice. Since Linux on S/390 (now Linux on
System z) became available early in 2000 customers
around the world have increasingly exploited this
technology in conjunction with PR/SM LPAR and z/VM.
From environments with only a single IFL Linux
engine) to those with 100s of IFLs, the ways in
which datacenters exploit Linux on System z vary
widely. Jim will describe how Linux on System z,
in combination with z/VM, will provide a robust
and cost-effective Linux environment which
integrates well with z/OS as well providing for
consolidation of distributed platforms.

This presentation was updated on April 9, 2009 to add information
on the S/360 65/67 MP machines and the IBM System 9020 Air Traffic
Control system.
This presentation was updated on April 10, 2009 to enhance the
chronology of S/360 and S/370 machines.

CSE For High Availability and System Management.
Do you have more than one z/VM system? Do you want to be able to
share the RACF database across your systems? Do you want to only
manage one VM Directory for all the systems? Would you like to
ensure that a minidisk may only be linked RW on one guest on one
system, and have all the systems enforce that, and thus be able
to finally get a good night's sleep? The z/VM Cross System
Extensions can do all that for you, and more! Come and see how
z/VM's CSE enables you to treat separate VM systems as a single
system image. Lower your system management workload, and get
higher availability to boot!
