Introducing the new IBM zEnterprise System

Today’s IT environment is defined by separation. Systems that could work together do not. Teams that could work together do not. Information that could be integrated is not. Until now.

On the 22nd July IBM introduced the IBM zEnterprise System - a system that combines the gold standard of enterprise computing with built-in function to extend IBM's mainframe-like governance and qualities of service to special-purpose workload optimisers and general-purpose application serving. End-to-end management is enabled for this heterogeneous environment by the IBM zEnterprise Unified Resource Manager, which provides energy monitoring and management, goal-oriented policy management, increased security, virtual networking, and data management, consolidated in a single interface that can be tied to business requirements. The IBM zEnterprise System is comprised of the IBM zEnterprise 196, the IBM zEnterprise Unified Resource Manager, built-in support for the IBM zEnterprise BladeCenter Extension (zBX), and optimisers or IBM blades.

zEnterprise System is designed to deliver:

• Improved total system capacity in a 96-way core design.
  • Improved performance of all workloads
  • Massive scalability for secure data serving and transaction processing and large-scale consolidation
  • Up to 80 cores that are customer-configurable
• Quad-core 5.2 GHz processor chips with 100+ new instructions that enable improved code efficiency, and are designed to help improve the execution of CPU-intensive workloads.

Energy efficiencies - more performance to help you run more efficiently in the same footprint.

• Energy monitoring capability and power save option for the processor, which is designed to provide a 25 - 30% reduction in power consumption depending on the system configuration
• Optional water cooling, providing the ability to cool systems with user-chilled water
• Optional high-voltage DC power, which can save System z customers 1 - 3%, on average, on their power bills
