IBM Systems Data Sheet Exceptional scale in a single frame footprint Next generation “network-in-a-box” technology Shared Memory Communications – Direct Access Method More memory, cache enhancements, and improved I/O bandwidth to serve up more data to support exponential mobile transaction volumes Real time insights at the point of impact with integrated analytics and transaction processing Simplified appliance implementation with z Appliance Container Infrastructure Data and services securely delivered, with reduced risk Enabled for open source innovation Businesses need to be flexible, dynamic and agile, while keeping an eye on escalating costs. It often falls on information technology teams to grapple with social and mobile trends and the challenges they create. This requires new insights and ways to integrate these trends into your existing processes and IT infrastructures. Incorporating these new insights and opportunities into your business and IT helps you grow and gain an edge on competition while reducing cost and increasing efficiencies. Exploitation of new information technology infrastructure such as the IBM® z13s™ (z13s) can help you identify and pinpoint areas of duplication or excess that may be repurposed or eliminated. The use of IT to change how you approach your basic core business models can help improve profits while increasing revenues. The new IBM z13s is designed to help tackle your toughest real-time business challenges. It provides impressive scale in terms of memory, I/O and processing power on a single frame that can quickly respond to business fluctuations. The z13s also helps you meet your service level agreements by allowing you to deliver real-time information and insight from data that can give your business the advantage of more timely business decisions. IBM z/OS® supports the new processor with significant enhancements to operating system design, optimized for scalability, cost saving, advanced compression capabilities, reliability, availability and scalability. Delivered with security and availability, the z13s provides enha

IBM Systems Data Sheet Traditional data serving and transactional processing The z13s supports up to 4 TB of memory—8 times more than the zBC12 – so you can make business decisions at a faster pace and improve response times to your clients. Linux application servers, database servers, analytic and cloud workloads running native or under z/VM®, may see performance benefits when taking advantage of large shared, virtualized memory. Large memory can reduce latency and CPU cost, and improve operational efficiency for WebSphere® Application Server and Java applications by allowing larger heaps...

IBM Systems Data Sheet The use of z Enterprise Data Compression (zEDC) can efficiently keep four times more data at hand that is easy to access3 helping you reduce future DASD purchase by using better utilization techniques so you can make more informed business decisions. An optional rack-mounted hardware management console, previously unavailable in the zBC12, can help to save space in crowded data centers. With simultaneous multi-threading (SMT) to execute two instruction streams (or threads) on a processor core, you get more throughput for Linux on IBM z Systems™ and IBM z Integrated...

IBM Systems Data Sheet Enterprise Linux qualities of service The z13s and the Crypto Express5S offer enhanced public key support for constrained environments using hardware assisted Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). ECC provides algorithms with much shorter key lengths than RSA keys for similar cryptographic strength. This makes ECC cryptography ideal for mobile and smartcards where memory constraints may be a consideration. VISA format preserving encryption (VFPE) for payment card account numbers helps provide additional security by enabling legacy databases and applications to contain...

IBM Systems Data Sheet z13s is the mainframe optimized for real-time business ­ inconsistencies or anomalies. With rapid identification of message anomalies, organizations can accelerate their response to resolve problems, focus their efforts more precisely, address IT problems quickly, minimize availability lapses and intervene in IT problems before they become more severe. Previously available only for z/OS, with z13s, it is now supported on Linux on z Systems too. Built on z Systems core values and strengths, the z13s delivers innovations and technologies to enable real-time digital...
