User manual IBM ZVSE V4.2 BROCHURE

[. . . ] z/VSE V4. 2 supports the new IBM System z10 Business ClassTM (z10TM BC) and IBM System z10TM Enterprise Class (z10 ECTM), the IBM System z9® Enterprise Class (z9® EC) and System z9 Business Class (z9 BC) servers, as well as IBM eServerTM zSeries® 990, 890, 900 and 800. z/VSE V4. 2 operates in z/Architecture® mode only and supports 64-bit real addressing. It is designed to exploit up to 32 GB of processor storage. [. . . ] System z10 servers are at the core of the enhanced System z platform that delivers technologies that businesses need today along with a foundation to drive future business growth. Protect focuses on investment protection. z/VSE clients should be able to exploit the latest IBM System z and IBM System Storage technology to enhance and grow core z/VSE environments. z/VSE clients should be able to extend their core z/VSE information assets into their overall IT networks. Extend refers to adding new IT solutions. z/VSE clients should be able to extend their core z/VSE solutions with solutions that exploit the advanced, standards-based capabilities of any platform, especially Linux on System z. The "PIE strategy" is fundamentally based on an open, hybrid model. This hybrid model can give clients the best of both worlds: it helps them protect their z/VSE investments as they exploit the capabilities of complementary platforms. Indeed, z/VSE plus Linux on the System z platform is a compelling combination. z/VSE solutions z/VSE clients can select from a variety of existing solutions that can simplify, integrate and automate their IT environment. The solutions cover the flexible integration of z/VSE assets, for example through: Web-enabling z/VSE resources with an intuitive look and feel, avoiding the risk of rewriting applications; reduced administration effort through a centralized, automated data protection across a heterogeneous IT environment with the Tivoli® Storage Manager. z/VSE clients ensure continuity, reliability and security, support Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), supporting Web Services requests using XML data and the SOA Protocol (SOAP), to communicate with each other independent of the platform and programming language; open standards, help for easier management, reuse z/VSE assets in dynamic ways, and potentially save cost. New pricing options Midrange Workload License Charge (MWLC) is available on the new System z10 BC and z10 EC, z9 EC and z9 BC. It applies to z/VSE V4 (including the Encryption Facility for z/VSE feature) and twelve key VSE-related middleware products, including CICS Transaction Server for VSE/ESATM, IBM TCP/IP for VSE/ESA, ACF/VTAM®, HLASM, DITTO, DB2 server for VSE, DL/1, DFSORTTM, COBOL, PL/1, C and MQ. MWLC can be implemented in full-capacity or sub-capacity2 mode. Sub-capacity users pay for MWLC-priced programs based on the utilization of the Logical Partitions (LPARs) or virtual machines where the system executes. Sub-capacity pricing gives customers the option of consolidating smaller z/VSE workloads on the same z10 or z9 server that also runs their core z/OS workloads.
