| | FCP for the IBM eServer zSeries systems: Access to distributed storage |
 | | SB-2 is the protocol on which the zSeries FICON channel is based [9]. | | | The STI interface (as described in [11]) provides the physical connection between such a channel and the zSeries central electronic complex (CEC), i.e., the complex consisting of zSeries processors, main memory, and I/O subsystem. | | | The attachment of storage controllers in the distributed storage environment is predominantly based on the SCSI standard, using a control-block-based command-and-status protocol. |

| | IBM to push cheaper ‘Linux-only’ zSeries, iSeries The Register |
| | According to Peter McCaffrey, director of zSeries product marketing at IBM, the new machines are based on feedback and market success that IBM has had last year in promoting the mainframe as a platform on which enterprise customers can consolidate their Unix, Linux, and Windows workloads. | | | Customers with existing zSeries and iSeries servers supporting their core ERP applications will be inclined to listen to IBM's sales pitch and maybe even run some numbers to see if they could save some money by consolidating Unix, Linux, or Windows applications onto Linux partitions on these zSeries or iSeries servers. | | | The impression that one gets from IBM is that if Linux had not been available, mainframe revenues would have declined. |
