z/VM Version 4 and Version 5

z/VM supports Linux on the mainframe. Within the VM environment, Linux images benefi t from the ability to share hardware and software resources and use internal

high-speed communications. While benefi ting from the reliability, availability and serviceability of IBM ^ zSeries servers, both z/VM V4 and V5 offers an ideal platform for consolidating Linux workloads on a single physical server which allows you to run tens to hundreds of Linux images. z/VM V4 is priced on a per-engine basis (one-time charge) and supports IBM Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL) processor features for Linux based workloads, as well as standard engines for all other zSeries and S/390 workloads. Engine-based Value Unit Pricing for z/VM V5.1 is replacing the pricing model available with z/VM V4. Engine-based Value Unit Pricing is designed to provide a lower entry point and a decreasing price curve which will help provide improved price/performance as hardware capacities and workload grow. Value Unit Pricing helps you to add capacity and workload with an incremental and improved price and the ability to aggregate licenses acquired across machines that are part of your enterprise.

Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL)

The Integrated Facility for Linux feature of the zSeries servers provides a way to add processing capacity, exclu- sively for Linux workloads, with minimal or no effect on the model designation. Operating systems like z/OS, TPF, and VSE/ESA will not execute on Integrated Facility for Linux engines. Consequently, these engines will not necessarily affect the software charges for workload running on the other engines in the system.

OSA-Express Ethernet for Linux

Driver support is provided for the functions of the new OSA-Express Gigabit Ethernet and 1000BASE-T Ethernet features.
