System z IBM Systems and Technology Data Sheet memory congurations. In addition to the customer purchased memory, an additional 16 GB of memory is included for the Hardware System Area (HSA). The HSA holds the I/O conguration data for the server. On the z10 EC, the HSA memory is entirely fenced from customer memory. The z10 EC is built using IBM’s modular multibook design that supports one to four books per server. Each z10 EC book contains a multichip module (MCM), which hosts the redesigned CMOS 11S cores, storage control chips and high-speed interfaces for I/O. The quad core processor...

System z IBM Systems and Technology Data Sheet variation on CBU. If unallocated capacity is available in a server, it will allow the maximum capacity available to be used for planned events such as planned maintenance in a data center. The three-day CPE contract can be purchased at a xed price. Providing protection Protection of the IT infrastructure continues to be important. The System z10 processor chip has on board cryptographic functions called CP Assist for Cryptographic Function (CPACF). These Standard clear key integrated cryptographic coprocessors provide high-speed cryptography...

System z IBM Systems and Technology Data Sheet STP-only Coordinated Timing Network. System z10 offers further redundancy of the ETS by allowing the server to be congured as a Network Timer Protocol (NTP), not just an NTP client. The z10 EC has Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level 5 (EAL5) certication for security of logical partitions. System z security is one of the many reasons why the world’s top banks and retailers rely on the IBM mainframe to help secure sensitive business transactions. An important IBM offering, GDPS® is designed to provide a comprehensive end-to-end continuous...

System z IBM Systems and Technology Data Sheet The zIIP is designed to support selected data and transaction processing and network workloads and thereby make the consolidation of these workloads on to System z more cost effective. Workloads eligible for the zIIP (with z/OS V1.7 or a 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)...
