Welcome to the GSE UK Linux on z Working Group
This group focuses on promoting the use of Linux on z.
An increasing number of organizations are taking advantage of running Linux on z in their operations: running MQ workloads and databases such as Db2 and Oracle, and PostgreSQL/MongoDB. These systems are running in a highly secure mainframe environment which is also highly scalable.
The chair of this working group has more than 35 years’ experience in the IT industry, with a focus on z/VM and Linux on z. We can provide guidance in building a robust z/VM environment to support Linux infrastructure. Group objectives include:
- Promoting the use of Linux on z
- Sharing references and use cases for Linux on z
- Educating stakeholders in the benefits of Linux on z
We hold one meeting each year, at the GSE UK annual conference in November, with an average of 10 participants attending.
Example meeting agenda:
- Using Your Performance Monitor to Watch z/VM and Linux on IBM Z
- RedHat on z more than RHEL
- z/VM Shared Segments (advanced)
- IBM Cloud Private and deployments to Secure Service Containers (Customer Experience)
- Why a Multi modal OS is vital in a cloudy world
