IBM has posted its Large Systems Performance Reference (LSPR) tables for the new IBM z14. The z/OS 2.2 tables (including for the IBM z13s and for prior models) are available here: https://www.ibm.com/servers/resourcelink/lib03060.nsf/pages/lsprITRzOSv2r2?OpenDocument z/VM 6.4 ITR ratio tables

Timothy, Just to make sure I understood it: Let's assume I have z/VM licensed for 2 processors and machine 5CP+2IFL+2ICF+2zIIP, and another machine 1CP. Before the announcement I was able to legally run z/VM on IFLs on primary machine or on 1CP on secondary machine (but not concurrently:

Tim, I am not sure I have a good understanding of this. Now, to your post. You actually hit a problem we have. We have a z/10 that is running 5 z/OS LPARs and memory allocation is not the best. You indicate that running z/OS under VM might be the answer. But, a few years ago, some testing

Tim, I am not sure I have a good understanding of this. Some background: In our case, we have 7 physical z10 or higher machines. All the current processors have 1 CPU, but we are looking at replacing 2 of the machines with multi-processors. Most of the machines are running multiple z/OS

I'd like to focus a bit on one of the many unique features in the new IBM z14: "Pause-Less Garbage Collection." The IBM z14 is the first and only server in the world with this interesting, useful capability that works to maintain consistent, high Java performance. There's nothing else like it. If

OK, I'll start offering some personal thoughts on today's major announcements, and in no particular order. I'll start in what might be an unexpected place: sub-capacity z/VM licensing. That announcement letter is available here:

IBM's announcement letters for July 17, 2017, are now going live across the time zones, starting with Asia-Pacific and Japan. (Presumably over the next few hours the versions of these announcements for other geographies will go live.) Please watch the wrap! There's a great deal to absorb here, and
