This session will illustrate the requirements and steps for building a Multi-Architecture solution with Red Hat OpenShift, running it on IBM Z, in z/OS zCX or IBM LinuxONE and the Points of Value for such solutions.
GDPS is IBM's premier continuous availability and disaster recovery solution for managing z/OS, z/VM, and Linux on IBM Z and their data, both within and across sites. In addition to the array of tightly integrated capabilities associated with IBM Z and data, GDPS extends its reach to heterogeneous platforms for end-to-end availability and recovery management. In this session we provide you with an update on the exciting new features and functions added in the latest release of GDPS, Including new products and the brand new V4R8
This session will start with a brief overview of all available Linux distributions on the IBM Z and LinuxONE platforms, adding existing and upcoming features that are currently developed by IBM and the open source community. It will illustrate how to apply them effectively, and what aspects to pay attention to, for maximum benefit. The presentation will address both, IBM Z and LinuxONE-specific features, as well as platform-independent developments, and will end with the latest news on KVM on the platform.
Wondering if Open Source is right for you and your organization? Don't know what you don't know? Is it myth or fact? Let the experts from within the Open Mainframe Project help you weed it all out. Fact or fiction, we will help you understand why Open Source IS right for you and your organization.
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform provides the foundation for containerized workloads on IBM Z and LinuxONE . Join us for the latest news, enhancements, and use cases available with Red Hat Openshift.
New to supporting z/VM? This session covers the basics of troubleshooting and data collection when things go wrong to help IBM help you. Learn how to identify common issues, gather the right diagnostics (like dumps and logs), and avoid common pitfalls in paging, storage, and system configuration.
What's New in IBM's IaaS Platform Solution - Cloud Infrastructure Center With the latest release of IBM Cloud Infrastructure Center, we are providing new capabilities for our new and existing customers. Join us for a tour to explore the latest enhancements, use cases and news regarding IBM Cloud Infrastructure Center.
To help deliver skilled learners to the market, IBM ZXPlore free learning environment wanted to offer both basic zVM CMS experience, as well as the ability to create and learn the basic operations of a linux VM. We designed and built a vendor/product agnostic process for generating a private personal linux VM, manageable from a CMS terminal session, and internet-accessible via ssh. This session will detail the design approach, the prototype/proof-of-concept, and learning opportunities provided. We will show how a relatively simple low-code nodejs application running in the Cloud coordinates the provisioning/de-provisioning processes with SMAPI. We will also show members of the free IBM Z XPlore environment can access and experiment with the system.
This session will highlight Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, which enables the capability to run workloads in Virtual Machines, side by side with Containerized workloads, under the control of Red Hat OpenShift tools. It will outline the technology and the business aspects such as licensing for the workloads using Red Hat OpenShift virtualization.
This is an introductory class to computers before the age of personal computers but when the "cloud" of today was the same as the "cloud" of yesteryear; e.g. somebody else's system. We'll review the virtualization basics, z/VM basics and how the z/VM hypervisor does its thing without being too "in the weeds".
Basic understanding of z/VM performance and configuring z/VM systems for optimal performance should be a basic requirement for those installing LinuxONE and even those managing more traditional z/VM systems. The author has been providing performance guidance for 4 decades and would like to pass on what has been learned in many times, the hard way.
Threats to your business data can be external or internal. GDPS Cyber Resiliency increases your security capabilities to prevent even a privileged user from compromising your production data, systems, and protected copies of this data. You will be provided with capabilities to regularly create secure, Point-in-time copies of data to use for Logical Corruption Protection scenarios. You will see how GDPS Cyber Resiliency uses storage, operating systems, and middleware to enable protection, forensic analysis, and recovery use cases for Logical Corruption Protection vaulted copies. Updates to previous presentations include new roles and action verification.
Let's discuss in this Birth of a Feather where are the challenges and what needs to be considered when building a Hybrid Cloud solution, considering the new capabilities for HA / DR, but also considering and integrating with existing processes for traditional workloads in IBM Z. We will cover new capabilities for applications and the associated storage if they are running containerized in Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Z, zCX and LinuxONE.
When connecting to SAN-attached storage, you will likely be communicating via Fibre Channel Protocol instead of FICON. This session will discuss all the steps involved in implementing an FCP connection from an IBM zSystem to an "open system" storage device. Knowledge of how traditional z storage attaches to an IBM zSystem is helpful but not required.
This session will overview how GDPS, IBM's multi-site application availability solution, integrates key availability technologies such as z/OS, z/VM, Linux, and remote copy technologies with automation to enhance application availability and improve DR for z/OS, VM, and Linux on z. The enhanced GVA, GDPS Virtual Appliance, which runs on LinuxONE systems with z/VM and Linux guests will be highlighted. GDPS offers the state of the art in terms of performance towards continuous availability. Additionally, GDPS offers our clients a way to fulfill their regulatory and business compliance requirements by granting them "insurance" in case of a disaster (i.e., disaster recovery - DR) and providing high availability (HA) as well as ease and continuity of operations (CO).
TLS (Transport Layer Security) can be used in z/VM to establish secure connections. This presentation will cover the What, Why, Where, and How of setting up and using it, while also giving examples. No background of TLS or SSL is required.
