	New IBM Mainframe Designed as Hub for Collaborative Business
		The IBM System z9 is designed as one of the most reliable and secure computing system and provides nearly twice the total system capacity and available memory of its predecessor -...
		The System z9 is built on the IBM mainframe's 41-year heritage as a secure-rich system.
		This is a comparison of the z9 109 54-wayt and the z990 D32 and is based on the LSPR mixed workload average.

	IBM Unleashes New z9 Mainframe
		At a news conference this week in New York, IBM executives unveiled the System z9 system and said this is the first of a new generation of mainframes whose role can be to facilitate management security and systems resources across the entire corporate IT network.
		A single System z9 is designed to optimize hardware, networking and software so that businesses can manage and secure workloads equivalent to hundreds of distributed servers in a fraction of the space," said Bill Zeitler, senior vice-president and group executive, IBM Systems and Technology.
		The performance of the System z9 109 uni-processor is expected to be 1.35 times the z900 uni-processor.

	System iNetwork (formerly iSeries Network) - High and Low Ends Take Aim at Midrange Server Market
		Recognized for its reliability and ease of use, the System i server remains in use despite the lack of growth in the marketplace.
		The System i, for instance, adheres to this plan, and IBM does make a nice profit on upgrades and memory and drive expansion, according to Foster.
		The System i may remain the server of choice for its traditional business customers, but the importance of marketing and growing the midrange server customer base is extremely vital to its long-term success.

		IBM India has launched the System z9 Business Class mainframe that is designed to tackle critical computing challenges such as the coming wave of automated Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), new heightened expectations for data security and the rapid expansion of emerging markets.
		The company said the IBM System z9 Business Class broadens access to the System z9 platform around the globe, in India and other fast-emerging markets, where firms are rapidly deploying mainframe technology needed to achieve the scale and reliability required to keep pace in a globally integrated economy.
		The System z9 will provide for increased data protection with IBM storage devices, beginning with the IBM System Storage TS1120 Tape Drive, which is planned to feature new encryption capabilities in the second half of 2006.

	IBM System z9 Enterprise Class (z9 EC, formerly z9-109)
		The System z9 Enterprise Class (z9 EC) continues to be a leader in areas such as data management, availability, security and resiliency, virtualization and integration.
		While the z9 EC can scale to offer a large capacity mainframe in a single footprint, some customers have requested the z9 EC innovative features with more flexibility in customizing and sizing the capacity of the general purposes processors (CPs) that reside in the server.
		The z9 EC continues to extend and support the use of dedicated processors for specialized workloads, which can help provide better optimization of resources as well as offer price/performance improvements to users.

		The z9 BC brings the power of the System z9* platform to the SMB space with the lure of a drastically lowered entry-level price point of around $100,000.
		On the z9 BC, sub-capacity options are offered on 1-way to 4-way servers, touting a maximum of 7 processor units (PUs), which in turn all allow for additional capacity for specialty-engine workloads.
		Although, technically, the z9 EC is basically a renaming of the System z9 109 (z9-109) announced in July 2005, the z9 EC has been updated with some extra muscle of its own.

		System z9 will, moreover, host a new version of IBM's Virtualisation Engine and be capable of the most sophisticated workload management of any server platform.
		The System z9 has been built on top of the security platform that is the mainframe.

	IBM system z9 and business compliance
		However, just as System z9 is now being positioned as an "information hub," it makes sense for users to consider employing System z9 as a compliance hub.
		That is, System z9 can act as the central coordinator of the enterprise's effort to meet regulatory requirements and to leverage business-compliance solutions for corporate benefit.
		Infostructure Associates suggests that enterprises with existing mainframes that are beginning to move from merely meeting requirements to leveraging their business-compliance efforts, examine the possibility of turning System z9 into a business-compliance hub.

	MIPS and MSUs for IBM System z9 Mainframe Processors
		These bear no relation to any previous MIPS values given for earlier systems because the z9 LSPR workloads are very different - the workloads have been changed to suit the machine yet again.
		With the System z9, up to 54 processors might be available with z/OS 1.7 supporting up to 32 in a single LPAR - so the problem will only get worse.
		Some oddness is to be expected with the larger systems, since they are built with a different MCM - all chip slots being occupied by twin-stack chips against the smaller systems' use of an MCM with four singles and four twins.

	The Next IBM Mainframe - the IBM System z9
		The IBM System z9 takes the system to about 600 MIPS/engine - with General Availability in mid-September, possibly the 16th.
		This allows a system with sufficient spare processors (unassigned and unpaid for processors count as spares) to quiesce an entire book so that it can be removed and/or replaced in flight.
		One should be able to assume that a system with x times the power of its predecessor (up to 1.95 times, comparing a 54-way System z9 to a 32-way z990) also provides x times the support resources.
