This IBM® Redbooks® publication describes the new member of the IBM Z family, IBM z14®. IBM z14 is the trusted enterprise platform for pervasive encryption, integrating data, transactions, and insights into the data.
A data-centric infrastructure must always be available with a 99.999% or better availability, have flawless data integrity, and be secured from misuse. It also must be an integrated infrastructure that can support new applications. Finally, it must have integrated capabilities that can provide new mobile capabilities with real-time analytics that are delivered by a secure cloud infrastructure.
IBM z14 servers are designed with improved scalability, performance, security, resiliency, availability, and virtualization. The superscalar design allows z14 servers to deliver a record level of capacity over the prior IBM Z platforms. In its maximum configuration, z14 is powered by up to 170 client characterizable microprocessors (cores) running at 5.2 GHz. This configuration can run more than 146,000 million instructions per second (MIPS) and up to 32 TB of client memory. The IBM z14 Model M05 is estimated to provide up to 35% more total system capacity than the IBM z13® Model NE1.
This Redbooks publication provides information about IBM z14 and its functions, features, and associated software support. More information is offered in areas that are relevant to technical planning. It is intended for systems engineers, consultants, planners, and anyone who wants to understand the IBM Z servers functions and plan for their usage. It is intended as an introduction to mainframes. Readers are expected to be generally familiar with existing IBM Z technology and terminology.
