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!
