Notes: Performance is in Internal Throughput Rate (ITR) ratio based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput that any user will experience will vary depending upon considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve throughput improvements equivalent to the performance ratios stated here.

If you …… want a hybrid computing environment
managed as a single system – including z/OS, AIX®, Linux on IBM System x®, Microsoft Windows on System x
… are looking for an entry level mainframe with almost 100X growth options in same footprint for traditional capacity settings
… need a smaller mix of special engines (*zAAP on zIIP great option here!)
… have smaller Coupling and/or I/O attachment requirements
… need the lowest cost application development environment
… want the flexibility to manage across a hybrid platform
… want to replace your z10 BC or z114 server with one that has more capacity settings and more engines for IFLs, zAAPs or zIIPs
… want to replace your standalone coupling facility or Linux only server with a machine that provides more engine, memory and I/O scale out capabilities
… have future growth needs, but prefer growth in smaller increments and want to avoid disruptive outage during upgrade
… want the flexibility to manage across a hybrid platform
… have a large mainframe capacity requirement or desire for massive consolidation – scale to over 78,000 MIPS in one footprint
… have a large disk installment so in turn have large I/O requirements
… need new ways to address your ‘green’ requirements – like water cooling – or need a non-raised floor environment
… have a large CBU requirement – and like the control of having your disaster recovery site right in your own shop

zEnterprise Server Time Protocol Enhancements
Broadband Security Improvements for STP– Authenticates NTP servers when accessed by the HMC client through a firewall– Authenticates NTP clients when the HMC is acting as an NTP server– Provides symmetric key (NTP V3-V4) and Autokey (NTP V4) authentication
(Autokey is not supported if Network Address Translation is used)– This is the highest level of NTP security available
Improved NTP Commands panel on HMC/SE– Shows command response details
Telephone modem dial out to an STP time source is no longer supported– All STP dial functions are still supported by broadband connectivity– zEC12 HMC LIC no longer supports dial modems

Network Performance IssuesUse of traditional TCP/IP technology is not optimal for some environments
Many applications today use TCP/IP to communicate server to server Using traditional Ethernet technology, network latency and processor resource
consumption can be high. – Network latency can be seen when sensitive transactional workloads such as
WebSphere are accessing a database using TCP/IP.
– The amount of CPU resource consumed for applications moving big data such as file transfer programs, streaming workloads or some web based protocols can drive up total cost of operations.
These performance issues can be due TCP/IP communications being executed in software.– The amount of time needed for handshaking can propagate across the link and add to
latency in the transmission of information

Use cases for SMC-R and 10GbE RoCE Express for z/OS to z/OS communications
Use Cases
Application server such as CICS communicating (via TCP based communications) with a database server such as DB2 – particularly when the application is network intensive and transaction oriented
Transactional workloads that exchange larger messages (e.g. web services such as WAS to DB2 or CICS) will see benefit.
Streaming (or bulk) application workloads (e.g. FTP) communicating z/OS to z/OS TCP will see improvements in both CPU and throughput

Problem The complexity of today’s IT infrastructures stress
operation’s ability to resolve problems quickly and accurately.
Today The volume of messages is outpacing operation’s ability
to respond– Staff cannot digest message rate of 200-300 per second
– Multiple systems concurrently issue messages which must be interpreted together
Today’s tools cannot effectively identify complex problems– Tools cannot identify messages preceding a problem
– Many symptoms remain undetected for a long period of time
Current problem solving techniques are inadequate– Manual analysis of messages often requires collaboration
between multiple experts
– Brute force process of elimination method causes unnecessary disruptions
Goal: Improve the quality and speed of problem determination
to reduce IT operations cost and improve availability
