Linux on System z has changed the way the mainframe is used to process applications and information. Originally, the mainframe used a specialized OS (MVS, z/OS or VSE), and Linux was only run on smaller hardware platforms. Linux on System z combines the flexibility of Linux with the power of IBM hardware to create a carrier class platform. Below are five reasons that should consider Linux on System z for your mainframe integration projects and solutions:
- Ivory Service Architect can run on Linux on System z providing the same capabilities as other platforms for your mainframe integration needs.
- RedHat and Novell SUSE Linux versions running on the IFL allow for utilizing existing Linux skills on the specialty engine (IFL).
- The IFL is designed for a particular type of workload and Ivory is that type of workload ensuring the IFL is fully and properly utilized.
- The IFL runs unthrottled which means that the integration workload throughput is greater, especially if as organizations are reaching the resource limits of the general purpose processor (GPP).
- MIPS are free on the IFL so moving as much work from the GPP as possible will maximize your investment and positively impact the bottom line.
