z/VSE

z/VSE 4.1, the latest advance in the ongoing evolution of VSE, is designed to help address needs of VSE clients with growing core VSE workloads and/or those who wish to exploit Linux on System z for new, Web-based business solutions and infrastructure simplifi cation.

z/VSE 4.1 is designed to support:

•z/Architecture mode only

•64-bit real addressing and up to 8 GB of processor storage

•System z encryption technology including CPACF, con- fi gurable Crypto Express2, and TS1120 encrypting tape

•Midrange Workload License Charge (MWLC) pricing, including full-capacity and sub-capacity options.

IBM has previewed z/VSE 4.2. When available, z/VSE 4.2 is designed help address the needs of VSE clients with growing core VSE workloads. z/VSE V4.2 is designed to support:

•More than 255 VSE tasks to help clients grow their CICS workloads and to ease migration from CS/VSE to CICS Transaction Server for VSE/ESA™

•Up to 32 GB of processor storage

•Sub-Capacity Reporting Tool running “natively”

•Encryption Facility for z/VSE as an optional priced fea- ture

•IBM System Storage TS3400 Tape Library (via the TS1120 Controller)

•IBM System Storage TS7740 Virtualization Engine Release 1.3

z/VSE V4.2 plans to continue the focus on hybrid solu- tions exploiting z/VSE and Linux on System z, service-ori- ented architecture (SOA), and security. It is the preferred replacement for z/VSE V4.1, z/VSE V3, or VSE/ESA. It is designed to protect and leverage existing VSE information assets.

z/TPF

z/TPF is a 64-bit operating system that allows you to move legacy applications into an open development environ- ment, leveraging large scale memory spaces for increased speed, diagnostics and functionality. The open develop- ment environment allows access to commodity skills and enhanced access to open code libraries, both of which can be used to lower development costs. Large memory spaces can be used to increase both system and application effi- ciency as I/Os or memory management can be eliminated.

z/TPF is designed to support:

•64-bit mode

•Linux development environment (GCC and HLASM for Linux)

•32 processors/cluster

•Up to 84* engines/processor

•40,000 modules

•Workload License Charge

Linux on System z

The System z10 EC supports the following Linux on System z distributions (most recent service levels):

•Novell SUSE SLES 9

•Novell SUSE SLES 10

•Red Hat RHEL 4

•Red Hat RHEL 5
