  • IBM System Z Functional Matrix
    IBM System z July 2013 IBM System z Functional Matrix IBM System z This functional matrix consists of a list of features and functions that are supported on IBM System z® servers (this includes the IBM zEnterprise ® EC12 (zEC12), IBM zEnterprise BC12 (zBC12), IBM zEnterprise 196 (z196), IBM zEnterprise 114 (z114), IBM System z10 ® Enterprise Class (z10 ™ EC), IBM System z10 Business Class ™ (z10 BC), IBM System z9 ® Enterprise Class (z9 ® EC), and IBM System z9 Business Class (z9 BC). It is divided into nine functional areas; – Application Programming Interfaces, – Cryptographic features, – I/O, – Business On Demand, – Parallel Sysplex ®, – Performance, – Processor Resource Systems Manager (PR/SM ™) – Reliability, Availability, Serviceability (RAS) – IBM zEnterprise BladeCenter ® Extension (zBX) There is also a legend at the end of the matrix to identify the symbols that are being used. Note: This matrix is not intended to include services, RPQs or specific quantities or measurements related performance, memory size, bandwidth, etc. The intention of this matrix is to provide a comparison of the standard and optional features for the various System z servers. For further details on the features and functions listed in the tables, refer to the system specific reference guide documentation.

A customer uses an ATM, which presents a user- friendly interface for various functions: Withdrawal, query account balance, deposit, transfer, or cash advance from a credit card account. 2. Elsewhere in the same private network, a bank employee in a branch office performs operations such as consulting, fund applications, and money ordering. 3. At the bank’s central office, business analysts tune transactions for improved performance. Other staff use specialized online systems for office automation to perform customer relationship management, budget planning, and stock control. 4. All requests directed to the mainframe computer for processing. 5. Programs running on the mainframe computer perform updates and inquires to the database management system (for example, DB2).

  • Mainframe Hardware Course: Mainframe’S Processors
    Mainframe hardware course: Mainframe’s processors z/OS Basic Skills: The mainframe’s processors Mainframe’s processors This hardware course introduces you to one model of IBM® mainframe computer, the IBM System z9™, to help you learn about the hardware parts that constitute the mainframe’s processor by comparing processing parts and functions to personal computers or notebooks. Time to complete: 10 - 15 minutes ¾The central processor complex ¾The multichip module ¾Memory cards ¾Input/output connections ¾The mainframe’s processing capacity © Copyright IBM Corp. 2006. All rights reserved. The central processor complex z/OS Basic Skills: The mainframe’s processors Mainframe’s processors > The central processor complex Mainframes have one or two metal frames that contain specialized cages, as well as other physical elements. This diagram shows the interior front view of an IBM System z9 Enterprise Class (z9 EC) model that has two frames. The z9 EC is slightly larger than a household refrigerator. The central processor complex, or CPC, resides in its own cage inside the mainframe, and consists of one to four book packages. Just like its personal-computer counterpart, the motherboard or system board, each book package consists of processors, memory, timers, and I/O connections. These collections of hardware parts are called “book packages” because you can slide them in or out of the CPC cage almost as easily as you can slide a book on or off a bookshelf. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2006. All rights reserved. z/OS Basic Skills: The mainframe’s processors Mainframe’s processors > The book package In the System z9, as well as earlier IBM mainframe models, the book package consists of three distinct areas, one each for: • The z9 EC's processors, which are inside one multichip module • Memory cards • Connections to input/output devices All of the book packages plug into a backplane in the z9 EC's frame.
