Extended Address Volumes (EAV) Paging

z/VM has continued to improve its memory management and paging capability, especially from a scaling perspective. If increasing memory requirements have become a challenge for you, the new EAV Paging Support allows a drastic reduction in the number of required paging volumes. For those of you looking to standardize on EAV, the new support eliminates a reason to do something different for z/VM paging volumes.

The new z/VM EAV capability extends the advantage of hosting a large number of virtual machines in a single footprint, when the required memory of the virtual machines increases.
