Linux on System z — Hyperdrive for the Mainframe
Maybe I shouldn’t admit this on a public technology forum, but I am not really a big Star Trek fan. I am however a HUGE fan of Linux on System z. Think about it…the hyperdrive allowed the starship to fly through space faster than the speed of light, virtually un-throttled in earthly terms. You also don’t see huge fuel tanks to power this unleashed speed, almost like it’s free. Imagine now having un-throttled speed on the mainframe that will allow you to get work done faster than on your GPP (general purpose processor) and as an extra incentive, the MIPS on the IFL (Integrated Facility for Linux) are free! Linux on System z, the Hyperdrive for the mainframe.
GT Software has extended its Ivory Service Architect product to run on Linux on System z. This means that you can now host your mainframe SOA infrastructure on the IFL. Take advantage of the power and stability of the mainframe without impacting your GPP or your bottom line. If you would like to learn more, please attend this live webcast to learn how you can save money, reduce MIPS, and expand your mainframe SOA strategy without impacting your GP.
