provide a more cost-effective, specialized z/OS® applica- tion Java execution environment. Workloads eligible for the zAAP (with z/OS V1.8) include all Java processed via the IBM Solution Developers Kit (SDK) and XML processed locally via z/OS XML System Services.

The System z10 Integrated Information Processor (zIIP) is designed to support select data and transaction process- ing and network workloads and thereby make the consoli- dation of these workloads on to the System z platform more cost effective. Workloads eligible for the zIIP (with z/OS V1.7 or later) include remote connectivity to DB2

to help support these workloads: Business Intelligence (BI), Enterprise Relationship Management (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Extensible Markup Language (XML) applications. In addition to supporting remote connectivity to DB2 (via DRDA® over TCP/IP) the zIIP also supports DB2 long running parallel queries—a workload integral to Business Intelligence and Data Ware- housing solutions. The zIIP (with z/OS V1.8) also supports IPSec processing, making the zIIP an IPSec encryption engine helpful in creating highly secure connections

in an enterprise. In addition, zIIP (with z/OS V1.10) sup- ports select z/OS Global Mirror (formerly called Extended Remote Copy, XRC) disk copy service functions. z/OS V1.10 also introduces zIIP Assisted HiperSockets for large messages (available on System z10 servers only).

The new capability provided with z/VM-Mode partitions increases fl exibility and simplifi es systems management by allowing z/VM 5.4 to manage guests to operate Linux on System z on IFLs, to operate z/VSE and z/OS on CPs,

to offl oad z/OS system software overhead, such as DB2 workloads on zIIPs, and to offer an economical Java exe- cution environment under z/OS on zAAPs, all in the same z/VM LPAR.

The New Face Of System z

IBM’s mainframe capabilities are legendary. Customers deploy systems that remain available for years because they are expected to, and continue to, work above expec- tations. However, these systems have seen signifi cant innovative improvements for running new applications and consolidating workloads in the last few years, and custom- ers can see real gains in price/performance by taking advantage of this new technology.

IBM provides affordable world-class technology to help today’s enterprises respond to business conditions quickly and with fl exibility. From automation to advanced virtualiza- tion technologies to new applications supported by open industry standards such as SOA, IBM servers teamed with IBM’s Storage Systems, Global Technology Services and IBM Global Financing help deliver competitive advantages for a Dynamic Infrastructure.

z Can Do IT. The future runs on IBM System z and the future begins today!
