GLYPH<SM590000> Offer a  flexible infrastructure  to concurrently accommodate a wide range of operating  systems and applications, from the traditional systems (for example, z/OS and z/VM) to  the world of Linux, cloud, analytics, and mobile computing. GLYPH<SM590000> Offer state-of-the-art  integration  capability for server consolidation by using virtualization  capabilities in a highly  secure environment : – Logical partitioning, which allows 85 independent logical servers. – z/VM, which can virtualize hundreds to thousands of servers as independently running  virtual machines (guests). – HiperSockets, which implement virtual LANs  between logical partitions (LPARs) within  the system. – Efficient data transfer that uses direct memory access (SMC-D), Remote Direct  Memory Access (SMC-R), and reduced storage access latency for transactional  environments - zHyperLink Express. – The IBM Z PR/SM is designed for Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level 5+  (EAL 5+) certification for security, so an application that is running on one partition  (LPAR) cannot access another application on a different partition, which provides  essentially the same security as an air-gapped system. This configuration allows for a logical and virtual server coexistence and maximizes  system utilization and efficiency by sharing hardware resources. GLYPH<SM590000> Offer  high-performance computing  to achieve the outstanding response times that are  required by new workload-type applications. This performance is achieved by  high-frequency, enhanced superscalar processor technology, out-of-order core execution,  large high-speed buffers (cache) and memory, an architecture with multiple complex  instructions, and high-bandwidth channels. GLYPH<SM590000> Offer the  high capacity  and  scalability  that are required by the most demanding  applications, from the single-system and clustered-systems points of view. GLYPH<SM590000> Offer the capability of  concurrent upgrades  for processors, memory, and I/O connectivity,  which prevents system outages in planned situations. GLYPH<SM590000> Implement a system with  high availability  and  reliability.  These goals are achieved with  redundancy of critical elements and sparing components of a single system, and the  clustering technology of the Parallel Sysplex environment. GLYPH<SM590000> Have internal and external  connectivity  offerings, supporting open standards, such as  Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP). GLYPH<SM590000> Provide leading  cryptographic  performance. Every processor unit (PU) has a dedicated  and optimized CP Assist for Cryptographic Function (CPACF). Optional Crypto Express  features with cryptographic coprocessors provide the highest standardized security  certification.$^{1}$ These optional features can also be configured as Cryptographic  Accelerators to enhance the performance of Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer  Security (SSL/TLS) transactions. GLYPH<SM590000> Be  self-managing  and  self-optimizing , adjusting itself when the workload changes to  achieve the best system throughput. This process can be done by using the Intelligent  Resource Director or the Workload Manager functions, which are assisted by  HiperDispatch. GLYPH<SM590000> Have a  balanced system  design with pervasive encryption, which provides large data rate  bandwidths for high-performance connectivity along with processor and system capacity,  while protecting every byte that enters and exits the z14. 1 Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS)140-2 Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules Chapter 3.
