Because of the advanced infrastructure, the z15 can support the following state-of-the-art  cognitive solutions with double the cache density on each chip and up to 40 TB memory: An open source, in-place analytics solution for z/OS that simplifies big data analysis.  Apache Spark gives developers and data scientists the ability to analyze business-critical  z/OS data in place, with no data movement. Apache Spark on z/OS can also provide a  federated view by accessing and analyzing distributed and local data.  A comprehensive solution that manages the entire machine learning workflow, beginning  with quick ingestion and transformation of Z data where it is stored. The solution then  securely creates, deploys, and manages high quality self-learning behavior models to help  you extract hidden insights that more accurately anticipate organizational needs. A high-performance appliance that transforms your Z platform into a highly efficient  transactional and analytics-processing environment. It supports the full lifecycle of a  real-time analytics solution on a single system that integrates transactional data, historical  data, and predictive analytics. The IDAA appliance is available as part of IBM z15, running  inside the processor drawer. Today, demands for 24 x 7 high-performance operations continue to rise. At the same time,  allowed service windows shrink and are much less frequent. Increasing system complexity  makes planning, maintaining, and troubleshooting more difficult and time consuming. IT  operations analytics represent a possible solution to this challenge. The z15 provides the infrastructure to host real-time analytics tools so you can clearly see  your operating environment, then maximize operational efficiencies to help reduce costs. IBM designed IBM Operations Analytics for z (IOAz), IBM Common Data Provider for z, and  IBM z Operational Insights to ensure that your Z operates at peak performance. To get the  most out of your system, Operations Analytics for Z provides deep insights that are based on  IBM’s industry-leading expertise into your Z operational data. Operational Data Generation and Analytics:  In the future, IBM intends to deliver z/OS  and middleware interdependency data generation, and automated z/OS cross stack  analytics to reduce skill requirements level and amount of time that is required to perform  problem definition. An effective DevOps solution breaks down existing development silos, unifies infrastructure  platforms, and enables ongoing deliveries. z15 provides the scalable and secure  infrastructure for enterprises that must rapidly create and deliver critical applications, while  meeting agreed-on levels for quality, availability, regulatory compliance, and end-use  expectations. IBM DevOps for Z solutions operate from application understanding through deployment and  management. In addition, DevOps for Z solutions gives you a single, cost-effective toolset to  maintain and modernize valuable applications on both Z and distributed platforms. 1.1.5 Getting more out of the platform with IT Operational Analytics 1.1.6 Accelerating digital transformation with agile service delivery 6  IBM z15 Technical Introduction GLYPH<SM590000> Apache Spark GLYPH<SM590000> IBM Machine Learning for z/OS GLYPH<SM590000> The IBM Db2fi Analytics Accelerator for z/OS
