zEnterprise IBM zEnterprise System Revolutionary scale-up Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP) enterprise servers
The zEnterprise is a workload-optimized, multi-architecture compute
system capable of hosting many workloads integrated together, and
efficiently managed as one single entity. It is designed to deploy and
intelligently manage workloads across both mainframe and distributed
technologies with the same tools, techniques and a single management
interface.
The zEnterprise System includes a central processing complex
(CPC)—either the zEnterprise 196 (z196) or the zEnterprise 114 (z114),
the IBM zEnterprise BladeCenter Extension (zBX) with its integrated
optimizers and/or select IBM blades, and the zEnterprise Unified
Resource Manager.
The z196 is the premier high end server and the flagship of the IBM systems portfolio. It contains 96 of the world’s fastest, most powerful microprocessors running at 5.2 GHz and is capable of executing more than 50 billion instructions per second. With up to 80 configurable processors, the z196 can scale to over 52,000 MIPS (Millions of Instructions Per Second) of compute capacity in a single footprint.
