System z remains the enterprise consolidation system with best economics for clients, delivering the best availability, security, scale and management required for enterprise critical work. zEnterprise with zBX is a proof point for hybrid universal management capabilities of IBM.

Enterprise Power (High End and 770) continues to be the leading system for UNIX consolidation with 60% unit share; delivers leadership virtualization, performance, security and resiliency needed by most enterprise clients.

Power Express (4s and 2s) provides highly customizable systems for traditional UNIX and IBM i applications in Midmarket or distributed enterprise clients.

Power Blades will transition to PureFlex System Power Compute Nodes.

System x Blades should be prioritized if the customer focuses on existing investment protection.

eX5 High End should be prioritized for scale-up and maximum x86 memory requirements.

PureFlex System provides unified management with enterprise storage and choice of compute nodes (Power and x86). Pureflex System can be connected to IBM general purpose systems and the environments managed through the Tivoli® suite.

PureApplication System provides a pre-integrated, pre-optimized hardware and software stack with a single point of management . It should be the first choice to compete with Oracle Exalogic offering.

• Standard Memory - Provides minimum physical memory required to hold base purchase memory plus 32 GB HSA

• Flexible Memory - Provides additional physical memory needed to support activation base customer memory and HSA on a multiple book zEC12 with one book out of service.

• Plan Ahead Memory – Provides additional physical memory needed for a concurrent upgrade (LIC CC change only) to a preplanned target customer memory

zEC12 Purchase Memory Offerings


IBM System z


• Provides additional physical memory needed to support activation all customer purchased memory and HSA on a multiple book zEC12 with one book down for:

– Scheduled concurrent book upgrade (e.g. memory)– Scheduled concurrent maintenance– Concurrent repair of a book “fenced” during Activation (POR)– Note: All of the above can be done without Flexible Memory; but, all customer purchased memory will

not be available for use in most cases. Some work may have to be shut down or not restarted.

• Offered on H43, H66, H89 and HA1 in:– 32 GB increments from 32 GB to 256 GB– 64 GB increments from 320 GB to 512 GB – 96 GB increments from 608 GB to 896 GB (H43 limit 704 GB)– 112 GB increment to 1008 GB– 128 GB increments from 1136 GB to 1520 GB (H66 limit 1520 GB) – 240 GB increment to 1760– 256 GB increments from 1776 GB to 2288 GB

• Selected by checking the “Flexible” box when configuring memory

• Additional physical memory, if required, is added to the configuration and priced as “Preplanned Memory”

zEC12 Flexible Memory


IBM System z


• Provides the capability for concurrent memory upgrades without exploitation of Enhanced Book Availability, Licensed Internal Code upgrades

– Memory cards are pre-installed to support target Preplanned capacity

– Available on all zEC12 models

– Can be ordered with standard memory on any zEC12 model (Standard plus Preplanned will NOT be Flexible in most cases.)

– Can be ordered with Flexible memory on a multiple book zEC12 model

• Preplanned memory features are chargeable – Charge to install ADDITIONAL memory hardware needed to enable the selected plan ahead target.

(Additional means larger than the hardware needed for base memory)

• Preplanned memory activation is chargeable– Subsequent memory upgrade orders will use Preplanned Memory first

– Charged when Preplanned Memory is enabled by concurrent LIC upgrade

• Note: Preplanned Memory is NOT temporary, On Demand memoryWhy? Because Memory LIC downgrade is disruptive.

• Flash Express is intended to improve System z availability– Slash latency delays from paging

• Flash Memory is much faster than spinning disk• Flash Memory is much slower than main memory• Flash Memory takes less power than either

– Make your start of day processing fast– Designed to eliminate delays from SVC Dump processing

• zEC12 offers optional Flash Express memory cards– Supported in PCIe I/O drawer with other PCIe I/O cards– Installed in pairs for availability– No HCD/IOCP definitions required

• Assign Flash Memory to partitions like main memory– Assignment is by memory amount, not by feature – Each partition’s Flash Memory is isolated like main memory– Dynamically increase the partition maximum amount of Flash– Dynamically configure Flash Memory into and out of the partition

Introducing Flash Express


IBM System z


What Is Flash Express?

• Also referred to as Storage Class Memory (SCM)• Flash Express is internal storage implemented via NAND Flash SSDs (Solid State

Drives) mounted in PCIe Flash Express feature cards– Plugs into PCIe I/O drawers in pairs– Data security provided on the feature cards– A pair provides 1.6 TB of storage– A maximum of 4 pairs are supported in a system

• Internal Flash is accessed using the new System z architected EADM (Extended Asynchronous Data Mover) Facility

– An extension of the ADM architecture used in the past with expanded storage– Access is initiated with a Start Subchannel instruction– Subchannels used were previously reserved– Definition in IOCDS is not required

• The main application of internal Flash in zEC12 is paging store for z/OS– Where it provides advantages in resiliency and speed – With pageable large pages being introduced in tandem for exceptional performance

The Model Capacity Identifier

• The Model Capacity Identifier (MCI) is the value used by Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to set the price for software billing

• It is used to indicate the number of active CPs rather than total physical PUs delivered (purchased)

• The 4/5/6/7xx MCI along with the real hardware model number and the MSU value is returned when the STSI instruction is executed

Note: For no CPs, the capacity setting is now 400. z196 was 700.
