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.
IBM hardware products are manufactured from new parts, or new and serviceable used parts. Regardless, our warranty terms apply.
All customer examples cited or described in this presentation are presented as illustrations of the manner in which some customers have used IBM products and the results they may have achieved. Actual environmental
costs and performance characteristics will vary depending on individual customer configurations and conditions.
This publication was produced in the United States. IBM may not offer the products, services or features discussed in this document in other countries, and the information may be subject to change without notice. Consult
your local IBM business contact for information on the product or services available in your area.
All statements regarding IBM's future direction and intent are subject to change or withdrawal without notice, and represent goals and objectives only.
Information about non-IBM products is obtained from the manufacturers of those products or their published announcements. IBM has not tested those products and cannot confirm the performance, compatibility, or any
other claims related to non-IBM products. Questions on the capabilities of non-IBM products should be addressed to the suppliers of those products.
Prices subject to change without notice. Contact your IBM representative or Business Partner for the most current pricing in your geography.
This information provides only general descriptions of the types and portions of workloads that are eligible for execution on Specialty Engines (e.g, zIIPs, zAAPs, and IFLs) ("SEs"). IBM authorizes customers to use IBM
SE only to execute the processing of Eligible Workloads of specific Programs expressly authorized by IBM as specified in the “Authorized Use Table for IBM Machines” provided at
www.ibm.com/systems/support/machine_warranties/machine_code/aut.html (“AUT”). No other workload processing is authorized for execution on an SE. IBM offers SE at a lower price than General Processors/Central
Processors because customers are authorized to use SEs only to process certain types and/or amounts of workloads as specified by IBM in the AUT.

A zEnterprise for everyone
“Right size” your mainframe to fit your needs
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
The zBC12 H06 may be the
perfect option.
17
… want the flexibility to manage across a
hybrid platform
… 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
… have a large mainframe capacity
requirement or desire for massive
consolidation – scale to over 78,000
MIPS in one footprint
… 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 a large disk installment so in turn
have large I/O requirements
… have future growth needs, but prefer
growth in smaller increments and want
to avoid disruptive outage during
upgrade
The zBC12 H13 is just
what you need.
… 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
The enhanced zEC12 is right
for you.

Explosive growth in data
Every day 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created
Data needs to be shared
cross platform
Managing and storing data
can push expenses up for IT
Many types of compression
are used today
Today’s modular business
applications are
heterogeneous
While able to improve I/O
throughput and thus
performance, many compression
applications consume CPU
resources
Many offerings for archive –
creating data that will be
infrequently accessed
Batch workloads and some data
types can drive up compression
requirements
Industry standard compression
offerings in market like zlib
Applications need to be able to
efficiently share and process
large files
Not being able to compress files
can contribute to added disk
expense
Smaller files allowing for faster
network transfers
IBM System z offers hardware
compression on all System z
processor chips
…. Still massive amounts of data are not being compressed and need a
different approach to compress more “active” data

hardware (zEDC Express) solution designed
to help reduce resource consumption, disk
utilization and optimize cross platform
exchange of data
Performance: Efficient alternative for
larger files. Reduced CPU overhead for
SMF jobs.
Efficient: Optimized algorithms scan text to
locate the re-use of phrases and refers back
to earlier references
Industry Standard: Compatible with open
zlib based compression – widely used
across all platforms
Economical: Reduced DASD space
requirements and improved effective
bandwidth without significant CPU
overhead***
15% reduction in elapsed time for
SMF extraction with up to 40%
reduction for CPU time *
56
Logger overhead reduced by up to
30% **
* When running an SMF extraction/dump against an SMF logstream with records compressed by zEDC
** The amount of data sent to an SMF logstream can be reduced by up to 75% using zEDC compression – reducing logger overhead

Network Performance Issues
Use 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
Applications that use z/OS to z/OS TCP based communications using Sysplex Distributor
Plus … Transparent to application software – no changes required!

IBM zAware and Tivoli Service Management - A powerful
Combination
Get the more from the zAware feature by integrating with Tivoli Service
Management. Tivoli will utilize the IBM zAware API to integrate log analysis
with existing service management capabilities.
Provide visibility into IBM zAware anomalies via Event Management
Improve mean time to failure (MTTR) through integration with existing problem
determination and performance monitoring tools
Identify system errors and eliminate subsequent occurrences thru automation and more
sophisticated analysis
IBM zAware is NOT a replacement for traditional performance and
availability monitoring tools. It’s just the opposite. When used in
conjunction with existing service management tools, it can provide
a VERY powerful combination to help achieve 24/7 uptime, improve
MTTR when problems occur and help avoid subsequent problems.

IBM POWER7 and System x Blades
General purpose processors under one management umbrella
How is it different?
What is it?
The zBX infrastructure can host select IBM
POWER7 and IBM System x blades. Each blade
comes with an installed hypervisor that offers the
possibility of running an application that spans
z/OS, Linux on System z, AIX on POWER®, Linux
or Microsoft Windows on System x but have it
under a single management umbrella.
Complete management: Advanced management
brings operational control and cost benefits,
improved security, workload management based on
goals and policies.
Virtualized and Optimized: Virtualization means
fewer resources are required to meet peak demands
with optimized interconnection. Multiple resources
(both blade types and optimizers) can reside in a
single zBX.
Integrated: Integration with System z brings
heterogeneous resources together that can be
managed as one.
Transparency: Applications certified to run on AIX
5.3, 6.1 or 7.1 on POWER7 blades and those
certified to run on supported releases of Linux on
System x or Windows on the System x blades will
run on those blades in a zBX. No changes to
deployed guest images.
More applications: Brings larger application
portfolio to System z.

Management Platform
It takes days for the mainframe staff to do a change request for CICS. If we are
doing something new, it may take many change requests and several weeks. With
RD&T, the developers can try the changes themselves in real-time until they get it
right. Then a change request can be submitted with correct configuration
parameters. This saved weeks.

Advanced Function Meets Extreme Performance
SVC is designed to pool storage volumes into a reservoir of
capacity for centralized management. SVC helps to hide the
boundaries among disk systems, which simplify management and
enables customers to focus on managing storage as a resource to
meet business requirements and not as a set of boxes.
IBM FlashSystem™ delivers extreme performance driven by IBM
MicroLatency™ for quick response time and is a durable, high
reliability enterprise class family of flash storage systems that are easy
to integrate. FlashSystem leverages IBM patented Variable Stripe
RAID™ technology to maintain performance, protect data integrity as
well as usable storage capacity.
