GSE UK Conference 2008

"Be Recognized"

Abstract:

In today's Data Center environments, transactions on z/OS may run on zIIP and zAAP processors, as well as general purpose processors. Utilizing these new processors may prove to help customers reduce Software charges. But, it is necessary to understand the "ups and downs" when implementing zIIPs and zAAPs.

In this presentation Norman Hollander will discuss some of the challenges to consider when implementing zIIPs and zAAPs. Some of the topics that will be presented are: Capacity Planning challenges, Performance challenges, and Accounting/Chargeback challenges.
