IBM z10 BC Details:
IBM z10 BC (IBM 2098) Highlights:
- Industry leading combination of System z10 security, resiliency, virtualization and connectivity technologies packaged specifically as a midrange enterprise solution
- Crypto Express3 for designed to satisfy high-end security requirements
- Save energy via consolidation of disparate workloads and reduce costs via leadership virtualization capabilities for more efficient resource sharing
- Connectivity and network improvements enable faster data access
- Up to 50% more performance at half the price for incremental Linux workloads (compared to z9 BC)
Companies of all sizes are concerned about silos of servers and technology that deliver results but are not integrated together to do the job as one. They are struggling to provide a coordinated infrastructure that addresses their needs for performance, security, virtualization and business recovery, all at an affordable cost. And management of these multiple platforms can cause duplication and redundancy that drives up costs and complexity.
The IBM System z10™ Business Class (z10 BC), the technology that should change the way you think about Enterprise solutions. The technology that delivers the scalability, flexibility, and breakthrough performance you need—at the lower capacity entry point you want. The z10 BC fights old myths and perceptions—a technology for any business that wants to ramp up innovation, boost efficiencies and lower costs—pretty much any enterprise, any size, any location. And it’s about rewriting the rules and delivering new freedoms for your business. Whether you want to deploy new applications quickly, grow your business without growing IT costs, consolidate your infrastructure for reduced complexity, or extending the classic strengths of System z to heterogeneous platforms in your data center, look no further— z Can Do IT.

11 Airflow is designed to increase as the local ambient room temperature increases. Nominal airflow assumes 77 degrees F ambient
12 z/OS R1.7 + zIIP Web Deliverable required for System z10 to enable HiperDispatch on System z10 (does not require a zIIP). z/OS V1.7 support was withdrawn September 30, 2008. The Lifecycle Extension for z/OS V1.7 (5637-A01) makes fee-based corrective service for z/OS V1.7 available through September 2009. With this Lifecycle Extension, z/OS V1.7 supports the z10 BC server. Certain functions and features of the z10 BC server require later releases of z/OS. For a complete list of software support, see the PSP buckets and the Software Requirements section of the System z10 BC announcement letter, dated October 21, 2008.
