IBM: Launches zEnterprise 114 for the Philippine Market

NEWS RELEASE

New IBM zEnterprise Mainframe Server Advances Smarter Computing for the Philippine Market

As we move towards the higher stage of internet usage, we must able to update a wide range of system that will actually lessen our worries in terms of platforms, performances, durability and so forth. Every enterprise should always consider the use of new technology to satisfy their client needs. Specially those who are in need of backing up huge files like in banks, insurance companies, telecommunications, government agencies and more.

The new server, which was called the new IBM zEnterprise 114 mainframe enbales to consolidate workloads from 40 x-86 processors running Oracle software on to a new z114 with just three processors running Linux3 and over a three year period, total costs for hardware, software and support on the new z114 as compared to consolidated servers can be up to 80% less with similar dramatic savings on floor space and energy3. This would help the enterprise to store huge data for them to operate efficiently in real time, with less risk.

From traditional storage to PC computing, wherein we could copy our data to any removable media to connect with a server or back end when server goes down wherein troubles arise on the failed components until it was being resolved through the use of client network computing devices or mainframes And later on established a new wave of how we store datas through 'cloud computing.' When its really difficult to understand for some people that who do not understand how it worked.

A good example is when you store data online like any online media storage that allows you to copy your data temporarily to their local machine and access it locally through your browser instead of using your desktop. Discouraged by many, because of its slow process the perception has changed and now considering Hybrid computing which enables you to integrate and manage your workload on select IBM System x servers running Linux as part of the zEnterprise System7.  Support for Microsoft Windows on select System x servers will follow.



Information about zEnterprise 114 

 

The zEnterprise 114  is an especially attractive option for emerging markets experiencing rapid growth in new services for banking, retail, mobile devices, government services and other areas.  These organizations are faced with ever-increasing torrents of data and want smarter computing systems that help them operate efficiently, better understand customer behavior and needs, optimize decisions in real time and reduce risk. 

With the z114, clients can start with smaller configurations and access additional capacity built into the server as needed without increasing the data center footprint or systems management complexity and cost.  The new z114 is also designed to consolidate workloads from hundreds of x86 servers. 

The z114 is powered by up to 14 of the industry's most sophisticated microprocessors of which up to 10 can be configured as specialty engines.  These specialty engines, the System z Application Assist Processor (zAAP), the System z Integrated Information Processor (zIIP), and the Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL), are designed to integrate new Java, XML, and Linux applications and technologies with existing workloads, as well to optimize system resources and reduce costs on the mainframe.  For example, using a fully configured machine running Linux for System z, clients can create and maintain a Linux virtual server in the z114 for as little as $500 per year.4

The z114 offers up to an 18%5 performance improvement for processing traditional System z workloads over its predecessor the z10 BC, and up to an additional  25%6 improvement for microprocessor intensive workloads using compiler enhancements.

The z114 runs all the latest zEnterprise operating systems including the new z/OS V 1.13  announced today.   This new version adds new software deployment and disk management capabilities.  It also offers enhanced autonomics and early error detection features as well as the latest encryption and compliance features extending the mainframe's industry leading security capabilities. 

Additional compliance and encryption features, the result of a a multi-year effort from IBM Research, further enhance security with cryptography built into the DNA of System z, by designing hardware with processor and coprocessor based encryption capabilities.
