 | | The System z9-109 (S54), with up to 54 "characterizable" PUs (processors), is currently the most powerful IBM mainframe available, reportedly capable of performing approximately 18,660,000,000 core instructions per second. | | | (The System z9, for example, always has at least two spares available.) The zSeries/z9 then "calls home" (automatically places a service call to IBM), and an IBM service technician soon arrives with a replacement part (called a "book," consisting of a group of processors). | | | In mid-2005, IBM began using a new brand name (System z9), coinciding with the announcement of the company's Model 109 server. |

| | VM/CMS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | VM/CMS (Virtual Machine/Conversational Monitor System, originally called CP/CMS when it first appeared) is a bundled pair of operating systems used on IBM System/360, System/370, System/390, zSeries, and System z9 mainframes (and compatible systems). | | | Thereafter, the utility of the system — especially within IBM, where it was heavily used in developing MVS&;— prevented all attempts to kill it. | | | A simple interactive computing single-user operating system, CMS, was designed to go along with it. |

| | The System z9 brings together advances not just in the core hardware of the mainframe but also encompasses significant developments in the operating system, security and many other areas. | | | The pressure is on IT to demonstrate its value in daily operations, and to help businesses select IT investment opportunities (projects and developments) in a better, more information and knowledge based fashion than has traditionally been the case. | | | Network management is an area that can no longer be either ignored or left to those possessing the rare, and often dark, skills to administer sophisticated networks without appropriate support tools. |

| | IBM: Integrated Facility for Linux |
| | Because the price of the IFL is the same for all System z9 and zSeries generations, and because the performance of one z9 engine will have a 35% increase over the uniprocessor of the z990 301, the price/performance improvement for Linux workload may be in the range of 35%. | | | The IFL is available for the recently introduced IBM System z9 109 (z9-109), zSeries 990 (z990), zSeries 900 (z900), zSeries 890 (z890), and zSeries 800 (z800). | | | Consequently, executing Linux workload on the IFL does not result in any increase in monthly license charges for the IBM operating systems or IBM software running on the general purpose processor. |

| | Encyclopedia: List of Linux distributions |
| | Linux on zSeries (or Linux on System z9) is the preferred collective term for the Linux operating system and GNU/Linux software compiled to run on IBM mainframes, especially zSeries servers. | | | A Linux distribution is a Unix-like operating system comprising the Linux kernel, the GNU operating system (or most of it), other assorted free software/open-source software, and possibly proprietary software. | | | Linux started life as an operating system for X86-compatible systems but has expanded to include numerous other computer processors. |

| | Linux kernel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | While not originally intended as a portable operating system, Linux is now one of the most widely ported operating system kernels, running on a diverse range of systems from the iPAQ (a handheld computer) to the IBM System z9 (a massive mainframe server that can run hundreds or even thousands of concurrent Linux instances). | | | At the time, the GNU project had created many of the components required for a free operating system, but its own kernel project, the GNU Hurd, was incomplete and unavailable. | | | The Linux kernel is a Unix-like operating system kernel that was begun by Linus Torvalds in 1991 and subsequently developed with the assistance of developers worldwide. |
