What's New with Ivory Service Architect 4.1

Ivory Service Architect 4.1 delivers an unprecedented array of mainframe cost-saving and SOA performance options that provide true application agility for mainframe SOA.  Ivory Service Architect 4.1 delivers numerous new features designed to reduce MIPS CPU consumption and improve SOA performance. Ivory Service Architect’s innovative architecture, designed from the ground-up to deliver high-performance, secure mainframe SOA solutions, now fully exploits all three IBM System z mainframe specialty engines.

Customers are no longer forced into running their mainframe integration and SOA workloads on the GPP, incurring potentially large MIPs-based invoices.  With Ivory 4.1, organizations can choose how and where to leverage specialty engines to conserve integration-related CPU consumption. Since most organizations are generally undecided on which engines are strategic, Ivory also allows the ability choose an option today, say zAAP, and change your mind tomorrow, say to IFL, without any redevelopment. It’s this new level of risk avoidance and flexibility that makes Ivory the perfect fit as the most cost effective mainframe integration tool on the market today.

Adds full support for all three IBM Specialty Engines

• Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL)
• System z Integrated Information Processor (zIIP)
• System z Application Assist Processor (zAAP)

Introducing Intelligent SOA Workload Manager

• Automatic routing of SOA workload across all three IBM specialty engines and the GPP
• Allows mainframe integration and SOA workload to be shared across multiple processors
• Ensures on a service by service basis that maximum MIPS are saved without sacrificing one bit of performance.

Enhances Mainframe Integration Performance and SOA initiatives via the following:

• Efficient "Binary" XML
• Exhaustive code review and optimization on all Ivory Server platforms
• New support for large XML schemas
