Notable quotable…
“I predict that the last mainframe will be unplugged on March 15, 1996”Stewart Alsop, former InfoWorld columnist (now at Fortune Magazine), March, 1991
Annual growth in MIPS of over 30% since 1992
More than $20B in mainframe revenue since 1996 (when the last one was to have been unplugged…)
But there have been many changes in the mainframe since 1991!

zIIP can help to integrate data across the enterprise by optimizing resources and lowering the cost of ownership for eligible data and transaction processing workloads
– Centralized data serving – First to exploit zIIP were workloads such as BI, ERP, and CRM applications running on distributed servers with remote connectivity to DB2® V8
– Network encryption – zIIP becomes an IPSec encryption engine helpful in creating highly secure connections in an enterprise
– Serving XML data – zIIP is enabled for XML parsing, first to exploit this is inserting and saving DB2 9 XML data over DRDA®
– Remote mirror – zIIP becomes a data mirroring engine with zIIP assisted z/OS Global Mirror function (zGM, formerly XRC) helpful in reducing server utilization at recovery site (with z/OS V1.8 and above)
– Exploiting of zIIPs by ISVs zIIPs offer economics to help you
– PLUS zIIP price is same for z10 EC as z9 EC and we offer no charge MES upgrades when moving to new technology

zAAP designed to help implement new application technologies on System z™
– Java™ was the first exploiter – lowering the cost of computing for WebSphere® Application Server and other Java technology-based applications
– z/OS XML System Services (introduced with z/OS V1.9 and rolled back to V1.8 and V1.7) helps make hosting XML data and transactions on System z more attractive. DB2 9 and Enterprise Cobol V4.1 are the first exploiters.
…. and more on Java – SDK6 on z10 EC designed to deliver improved performance over SDK5 on z9 EC
– New function on z10 EC may benefit Java performance
• New z10 processor chip design and more available server memory .. plus in 2Q08 –support for new decimal floating point on z10 EC by Java BigDecimal *

Deploy energy efficient technologies – reduce energy consumption and save floor space
System z servers may help customers become more energy efficient:
IFLs attractively priced, have no impact on z/OS license fees, and z/VM and Linux® software priced at real engine capacity
‘No charge’ MES upgrades available when upgrading to new technology
Economics of IFLs and z/VM® help to drive down the cost of IT
