IBM eServer z900Vol. 46, No. 4/5, 2002
Order No. G322-0232 |
|
This double issue contains nineteen papers that describe many aspects of the IBM eServer z900. Although the z900 is built on the legacy of its predecessors—the S/390 Parallel Enterprise Servers G3 through G6—every major subsystem was completely redesigned with the express purpose of delivering the first IBM e-business mainframe server. The z900 features a full 64-bit architecture, a new high-bandwidth I/O subsystem, and autonomic features such as the ability to allocate computing and I/O resources as the need arises, using customer-defined priorities. The contribution of the z900 to IBM's server business cannot be overstated. |
