In this session, you’ll come away with a good understanding of how the mainframe is both lean and green, through features that enable energy efficiencies and therefore, cost savings. Reliable and secure, System z computing can actually reduce facilities stress when compared to common alternatives. Its multi-level virtualization, “shared everything” architecture, state-of-the-
technology packaging, and general power and cooling standards all contribute to System z being a lean and green machine. You’ll learn about best practices and how others have exploited the lean and green capabilities of the mainframe for significant savings.
