The typical ordering process of modern IBM Z mainframe looks like a buying of service [50] or looks like a leasing; [51] the mainframe is a program/hardware complex with rent for a system workload, and (in the most cases) additional system capabilities can be unlocked after additional payment.
An IBM System Z10 mainframe computer on which z/OS can run. z/OS is a 64-bit operating system for IBM z/Architecture mainframes, introduced by IBM in October 2000. [2] It derives from and is the successor to OS/390, which in turn was preceded by a string of MVS versions.
System Modification Program/Extended (SMP/E), the proprietary version of System Modification Program (SMP), "is a tool designed to manage the installation of software products on [a] z/OS system and to track the modifications" to those products.
[6] [7] In February 2005, IBM announced z/VSE as successor to VSE/ESA 2.7, which was named to reflect the new System z branding for IBM's mainframe product line. [8] [9] In June 2021, 21st Century Software Inc announced that it had licensed the z/VSE source code from IBM with the intention of developing new versions of the operating system. [10]
The IBM z13 is the last z Systems server to support running an operating system in ESA/390 architecture mode. [2] However, all 24-bit and 31-bit problem-state application programs originally written to run on the ESA/390 architecture will be unaffected by this change.
The IBM System z Application Assist Processor (zAAP), previously known as the zSeries Application Assist Processor, is a mainframe processor introduced by IBM in 2004. zAAP engines [1] are dedicated to running specific Java and XML workloads under z/OS, accelerating performance. zAAPs are available for zSeries 990 and 890 servers and later zSeries and zEnterprise models.
IBM originally conceived its trusted execution environment as best suited for software "appliances," such as its own z/VSE Network Appliance, zAware, and GDPS Virtual Appliance offerings. [1] As IBM improved zACI and broadened its applicability, the company quickly changed its name to IBM Secure Service Container (SSC) when the IBM z14 and ...
The HMC is a PC connected to the mainframe. zSeries mainframes prior to the IBM System z9 used a modified version of OS/2 with custom software to provide the interface. System z9's HMC no longer uses OS/2, but instead uses a modified version of Linux with an OS/2 lookalike interface to ease transition as well as a new interface. Unlike the ...
