IBM Z is an increasingly desirable target
Today’s technologies have eliminated “mainframe isolation”

blockchain
Mainframes are increasingly
closer to the Internet and
mobile platforms and this has
made them more vulnerable
to outside threats.

4. Purpose built for mission-critical applications
Processor
• Up to 190 client configurable cores
• 14% Single Thread Performance Improvement
• 25% maximum system capacity growth over z14
• New on-chip acceleration of compression for
faster processing (including batch) and more
efficient storage of data
• More investments in pause-less garbage collection,
30+ new instructions co-designed and exploited by
Java, and vector enhancements for analytics
applications
Memory
• 40 TB Max Per System - RAIM Memory design
To the Data
• Significant scalability improvements – up to 20% more
I/O channels and 50% more logical Coupling Facility
connections over z14
• Faster SSL/TLS handshake performance on z15 with
Crypto Express7S compared to z14 with Crypto
Express6S

5. Z15 & Garbage Collection
IBM z15 & Z Software/ September 2019 / © 2019 IBM Corporation
First introduced with z14
Enhanced with z15
– Further minimization of stop-the
world pause times
– Software based fall-back for
older hardware environments

6. IBM Data Privacy Passports – a data centric audit & protection (DCAP) solution
IBM Z
with pervasive
encryption
CurrentState
Three components:
• Trusted Data Object (TDO)
- Key-Encrypted data element plus
metadata (all req instructions on how to
process the TDO, incl. data lifespan)
• Trust Authority
- where policy governing protection &
usage of data is maintained
- serves as main key store
• Passport Controller
– data broker working w/ Trust Authority
to transform raw data into TDOs by
obtaining policy infos & keays
(encrypting using AES 256-bit)
- Gets clear data from source DBMS &
enforces data protection policies at
receiving end (at field level)
• Initial release supports:
- Db2 for z/OS, Db2 LUW, DVM and
Postgres accessed via JDBC

Desired State
Current State: Protected data within Z
Z pervasive encryption
Protect any structured data throughout
its desired Lifecycle:
- Data lifespan expressed in policy
destroying keys at specific date,
rendering the data inert
- Can be extended any time before expiry

• new z/OS V2.4 feature allowing delelopers to
• build , deploy & manage UNMODIFIED Linux on z Docker applications on Z
w/out requiring a separately provisioned and managed Linux server (apps will look
like Docker apps to the developer, not z/OS apps
• Allows to maintain operational control while workload inherits the z/OS QoS
benefits (HA, DR, scalability, workload management, security) and is zIIP eligible
IBM z/OS Container Extensions (zCX)
Integrate Linux application into z/OS
Modernize z/OS workloads by providing flexibility for
development and operations on Z.
Maintain operational control and extend z/OS
Qualities of Service to Linux software.
Make use of existing IT investments by employing Linux
within the Z platform.

9. Db2 Temporal & IDAA in-Database Transformation
• Exploit Db2 system temporal and archive transparency to keep history
• Load external data and combine it with operational or historical archived data for analytics.
• For semi-static data, save combined results in accelerator-only tables (AOTs)
• Transformation logic needs to be
expressed in SQL
• Exploits IDAA processing strength
• For easy consumability, SQL complexity
can be defined in VIEWs
• Performance supports complex
transformation on original copy in Db2
or IDAA
