Download or read book IBM zEnterprise EC12 Technical Guide written by Octavian Lascu and published by IBM Redbooks. This book was released on 2015-03-04 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The popularity of the Internet and the affordability of IT hardware and software have resulted in an explosion of applications, architectures, and platforms. Workloads have changed. Many applications, including mission-critical ones, are deployed on various platforms, and the IBM® System z® design has adapted to this change. It takes into account a wide range of factors, including compatibility and investment protection, to match the IT requirements of an enterprise. This IBM Redbooks® publication addresses the new IBM zEnterprise® System. This system consists of the IBM zEnterprise EC12 (zEC12), an updated IBM zEnterprise Unified Resource Manager, and the IBM zEnterprise BladeCenter® Extension (zBX) Model 003. The zEC12 is designed with improved scalability, performance, security, resiliency, availability, and virtualization. The superscalar design allows the zEC12 to deliver a record level of capacity over the prior System z servers. It is powered by 120 of the world's most powerful microprocessors. These microprocessors run at 5.5 GHz and are capable of running more than 75,000 millions of instructions per second (MIPS). The zEC12 Model HA1 is estimated to provide up to 50% more total system capacity than the IBM zEnterprise 196 (z196) Model M80. The zBX Model 003 infrastructure works with the zEC12 to enhance System z virtualization and management. It does so through an integrated hardware platform that spans mainframe, IBM POWER7®, and IBM System x® technologies. Through the Unified Resource Manager, the zEnterprise System is managed as a single pool of resources, integrating system and workload management across the environment. This book provides information about the zEnterprise System and its functions, features, and associated software support. Greater detail is offered in areas relevant to technical planning. It is intended for systems engineers, consultants, planners, and anyone who wants to understand the zEnterprise System functions and plan for their usage. It is not intended as an introduction to mainframes. Readers are expected to be generally familiar with existing IBM System z® technology and terminology.

Download or read book IBM zEnterprise BladeCenter Extension Network Connectivity Options written by Patty Driver and published by IBM Redbooks. This book was released on 2014-05-07 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This IBM® RedpaperTM publication describes the configuration of the networking equipment that attaches to the IBM zEnterprise® BladeCenter® Extension (zBX), which allows communication with the applications that reside on the intraensemble data network (IEDN). In most cases, the IEDN remains a closed Layer-2 network to maintain a highly available and secure environment that IBM can support. Therefore, when connecting to the IEDN, Layer-3 routed connectivity is still the preferred method. However, now the zBX top-of-rack (TOR) switches support Layer-2 switched connections that can provide an easier migration path when moving data center workloads to the zBX environment. This paper includes a brief introduction to the IEDN architecture and configuration and how these types of connections work. It also introduces the zBX architecture and explains the implications that network connections can have on the redundancy and high availability setup for this system. Finally, this paper provides concrete examples for connecting the IEDN and external data network through zBX for both Layer-3 routed and Layer-2 switched connection configuration options. This paper is intended for network architects and network administrators who are responsible for designing and implementing zBX network configurations. It is assumed that you have a basic background in IBM zEnterprise and network concepts.
