At a glance

Today's announcement extends IBM® Z leadership, delivering:

A reimagined z14 entry model in an industry-standard frame form factor
A platform that can deliver trusted digital experiences in a scalable, public, private, or hybrid cloud infrastructure
New flexible options for all-in-one solutions that can be scaled quickly to deliver production and development features

To help businesses capitalize on new opportunities, IBM has taken the technologies introduced in the IBM z14 (z14) and reimagined them into a nimble new enterprise server, replacing prior systems such as z13s™, zBC12, and z114. The z14 Model ZR1 delivers high reliability capabilities in a smaller, industry-standard frame, with a lower cost of entry, that can easily partner with other platforms in a cloud data center.

The key value propositions of the z14 Models M01 - M05 are just as relevant in the new Model ZR1, including pervasive encryption. In an increasingly intricate world of regulatory requirements and external threats, the security of client data and mission-critical workloads is paramount. The z14 Model ZR1 can be the base for a securable, yet integrated cloud, taking advantage of features such as Central Processor Assist for Cryptographic Functions (CPACF), Crypto Express® 6S for FIPS-4 certified encryption key management, Trusted Key Entry (TKE) systems, or enhanced applications of Secure Service Containers that can soon include client applications. Valuable data assets on the IBM Z® can quickly be integrated for maximum data intelligence, actionable insights, and predictive behavior for both systems of records and systems of client engagement.

Incorporating feedback from close client collaboration, the z14 Model ZR1 is designed into an industry-standard 19-inch rack form factor that is easily planned and installed into your data center. For clients familiar with prior servers, this revised footprint allows the server to be installed in significantly less space than prior offerings, using just two average data center tiles. The Model ZR1 is also based on power distribution units (PDUs), creating an opportunity to utilize common data center power drops while maintaining the redundant power, cooling, and line cords that are intrinsic to high-reliability IBM Z offerings. For clients with 32 or fewer I/O cards, there is also an option to allow a portion of the frame to house other switches, storage, or server components with a 16U Reserved space feature. This reserved space creates an option for client flexibility to create a single-frame ecosystem. With the reduced footprint cost, installability into virtually any existing data center, and flexible offerings, the Model ZR1 is a great fit for more locations than ever before.

Clients can also now take advantange of a number of features to ease application integration. Creating a hybrid cloud has never been easier, with scalability across LPARs and virtual servers, especially via Dynamic Partition Manager and Secure Service Containers. Empower your application developers -- even those with no IBM Z skills -- to quickly exploit the rich value in transactional data with the rapid API development and deployment that is so common in Linux® environments. For clients with significant IBM Z core applications, Application Discovery and Delivery Intelligence (ADDI) assists developers in visualizing and adjusting application endpoints and handling. Those same IBM Z core application users may also significantly reduce development costs with the new Software Container Pricing for z/OS®, which allows new workloads on specific addresses to be eligible for special development pricing and remain separate from production workload pricing.

With the IBM z14 Model ZR1 servers, you can rapidly develop and deliver high-quality services deployed on a trusted cloud infrastructure that is flexible, efficient, and resilient, and includes enhanced security features:

The use of pervasive encryption for most extended-format data sets can help address compliance requirements around encryption of data on disk and tape devices. Based on experience from IBM Blockchain leadership, extended Secure Service Container applications create an option for security within a Docker and Kubernetes based container environment requiring no application changes.
New high-performance processors, large memory, and synchronous I/O to storage are designed to deliver significant performance improvements, driving faster user response times.
New scale is designed to help you manage more workloads at less cost with increases in capacity per core and increases in single-system capacity.
Developers and administrators, with no mainframe resources, can rapidly develop new services, as well as monitor and provision resources without the need for new specialized skills.
Trusted insight is built into everything you do with advanced cognitive and analytics processing.

With IBM z14 servers, in the era of cognitive business, you can build trusted insight into everything you do for smart operations, intelligent transactions, and intuitive business processes. The IBM z14 family of servers provide the ideal hardware platform for running these cognitive and analytical workloads.

Clients can build new cognitive and analytical applications by taking advantage of data natively created on IBM Z using industry-standard tools like Apache Spark.
Clients can help enhance the productivity of data scientists and improve time to value of machine learning (ML). Deploying ML on IBM Z gains the benefits of data gravity, high security, and IBM Z resiliency.
Integrated IBM Z data sources allow clients to capture new business value by leveraging insights from dark transactional data in their systems of insight.

The z14 Model ZR1 delivers high-reliability capabilities in an industry-standard footprint, with a low cost of enterprise-class entry. The Model ZR1 can easily partner with other platforms in a cloud data center, while supporting pervasive encryption technologies and speed and performance improvements over prior generations. The z14 Model ZR1 servers provide the perfect platform to drive business opportunities for the next generation of industry leaders.

A new 16U Reserved (#0617) hardware flexibility offering that allows clients with one or two PCIE+ drawers to reserve 16U of space for other switches, servers, or storage that fit into the 19-inch rack space and meet requirements of the Installation Manual for Physical Planning (IMPP) for z14 Model ZR1. This feature is perfect for small data center footprint requirements, or high-resiliency, high-performance, cloud-in-a-box configurations.
Upgradability to z14 ZR1 from IBM z13s™, with machine serial number preservation and ability to carry forward most z13® and z13s level I/O adapters.

The performance advantage

IBM's Large Systems Performance Reference (LSPR) method is designed to provide comprehensive z/Architecture® processor capacity ratios for different configurations of Central Processors (CPs) across a wide variety of system control programs and workload environments. For ultimate flexibility in capacity, the z/Architecture processor capacity indicator is defined with up to 6 CPs, with 26 segment slices (A-Z notation), where segments run A01 - Z06.

In addition to the general information provided for z/OS V2.3, the LSPR also contains performance relationships for z/VM and Linux operating environments.

The capacity per processor engine of a z14 ZR1 (3907) processor is expected to provide approximately a 10% increase over that of a z13s (2965), with some variation, based on workload and configuration. The IFL and zIIP processors on the z14 ZR1 provide an optional z14 ZR1 multithreading technology capability; with the multithreading function enabled, the performance capacity of an IFL or zIIP is expected to typically be up to 25% higher than without the multithreading function enabled.

The LSPR contains the Internal Throughput Rate Ratios (ITRRs) for z14 ZR1 and the previous-generation IBM Z processor families based upon measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput that any user may experience will vary depending upon considerations such as the level of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the workload processed, and the LPAR configuration. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve throughput improvements equivalent to the performance estimates stated.

For more detailed performance information, consult the Large Systems Performance Reference (LSPR) available at the Resource Link® website.

Next-generation availability

The z14 processor builds upon the Reliability, Availability and Serviceability (RAS) of the IBM Z family, with the following RAS improvements:

z14 Level 3 cache enhancements using powerful symbol ECC that now spreads cache data over multiple physical cache arrays. This enables the detection and correction of multibit errors, making the Level 3 cache more resilient and fault tolerant.
Preemptive DRAM marking added to main memory to isolate and recover failures more quickly.
Improved small array error handling in the processor cores.
Additional error thresholding to the processor core to isolate "sick but not dead" failure scenarios.
An increase in the number of "Resource Groups" (from 2 to 4) to reduce the impact of firmware updates and failures.

Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level 5+ (EAL 5+) certification

The z14 ZR1 is designed for Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level 5+ (EAL5+) certification for security of logical partitions. This means that the z14 ZR1 is designed to prevent an application running on one operating system image on one LPAR from accessing application data running on a different operating system image on another LPAR on the server.

Common Cryptographic Architecture (CCA) enhancements

PCI PTS HSM compliance

The Crypto Express6S coprocessor with CCA 6.0 is designed to comply with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Pin Transaction Security (PTS) Hardware Security Module (HSM) standard. PCI security standards are developed by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council to help ensure security in the payment card industry with guidance and direction to HSM vendors to help meet the security needs of the financial payments industry.

The requirements in PCI PTS HSM standards are intended to enhance security for operations that process sensitive data with requirements in key management, HSM API functions, device physical security, controls during manufacturing and delivery, device administration, and a number of other areas.

The Crypto Express6S manufacturing and delivery processes are enhanced with z14 to comply with PCI PTS HSM and with CCA 6.0 introduce several new capabilities both for PCI PTS HSM compliance mode and for general use:

A new derived key hierarchy so that PCI PTS HSM compliance-tagged key tokens may be used alongside existing keys and services in a nondisruptive fashion -- with existing master keys.
Nondisruptive transition to PCI PTS HSM mode: Using TKE 9.0, a domain of the Crypto Express6S coprocessor with CCA 6.0 may be placed in PCI PTS HSM compliant mode with no disruption to other domains or to normal/legacy services using the domain that is moved to PCI PTS HSM compliant mode.
Secure audit log hosted from the Crypto Express6S coprocessor with CCA 6.0. Required by the PCI PTS HSM standard, this audit log covers all administrative actions and is managed by TKE 9.0. The new audit log is nondisruptive to normal application processing for domains where it is active.
Secure public key infrastructure: The Crypto Express6S coprocessor with CCA 6.0 adds native X.509 certificate support including PKCS #10 certificate request generation through a new PKI hosted from the coprocessor. Trust chain certificates are managed via TKE 9.0.
Migration planning assistance through active application reporting. The Crypto Express6S coprocessor with CCA 6.0 can report in real time what operations and keys will need attention if they are planned for use with PCI PTS HSM compliant-tagged keys. Report details and activity depend on host access library/operating system configuration.
CPACF exportable AES cipher key support added for AES cipher keys created using new options in CCA 6.0.

Trusted Key Entry (TKE) 9.0 Licensed Internal Code (LIC)

The following functions are planned to be supported in the TKE 9.0 level of LIC:

Crypto Express6S coprocessor support: TKE 9.0 is required for managing Crypto Express6S cryptographic coprocessors and manages them through the same Crypto Module notebook functions as previous generations of Cryptographic modules.
Key material copy to alternate zone: TKE 9.0 allows you to copy key material from smart cards in one TKE zone to smart cards in another zone. You might have old 1024 bit strength TKE zones, and may wish to move or copy the key material in those zones into a new, stronger TKE zone. To use this new feature you create new TKE and/or EP11 smart cards on your TKE 9.0 system. You enroll the new TKE and/or EP11 smart cards in an alternate zone. This allows you to copy smart card content from a smart card enrolled in the alternate zone.
Save TKE data directory structure with files to USB: TKE data can be saved to, or restored from, removable media in the same directory structure they were found on the TKE.
Create key parts without opening a host: The TKE application now has the ability for administrators to create key parts without opening a host. This allows the key administrator to create key parts while being offline or before any hosts are defined. This feature can be found in the TKE application under the Utilities > Create CCA key parts pull-down menu.
New TKE Audit Log application: There is a new TKE Audit Log application available for the Privileged Mode Access ID of AUDITOR. This application provides a new, easy-to-use interface to view the TKE workstation security audit records from the TKE workstation.
Heartbeat audit record: TKE workstations cut an audit record when the TKE boots or when no audit events have occurred during a client-configured duration of time. The record shows the serial number of the TKE local crypto adapter and indicates if the local crypto adapter has been changed since the last check.
Performance improvements for domain groups: With CCA 5.3 and later firmware levels, and TKE 9.0, performance may be improved for operations performed with large domain groups. For example, consider a domain group of 85 domains and a Clear New Master Key Register operation is performed from the TKE. The number of TKE commands issued to the Crypto Express coprocessor from the TKE will be reduced from 85 to 1, thereby reducing the time to complete the operation.
Master key part entry on EP11: Known master key parts can now be entered and saved on smart cards for coprocessors configured in EP11 mode using TKE 9.0. This enables key custodians to manage EP11 master key parts in a fashion that is consistent with coprocessors configured in CCA mode.
Smart card readers: With TKE 9.0, if you have HID/OMNIKEY smart card readers you may continue to use them. See the TKE User's Guide for more detailed smart card reader information.
New certificate manager for domains: Every domain will now have the ability to manage a set of parent X.509 certificates for validating operating X.509 certificates used by applications running in the domain. The Crypto Express6S with CCA 6.0 is designed to meet the PCI-HSM PIN Transaction Security v3.0, 2016 standard.
The following features are related to support for the Crypto Express6S with CCA 6.0.
Domain mode management: With CCA 6.0, individual domains are in one of the following modes:
- Normal mode
- Imprint mode
- Compliant mode
Imprint and compliant modes were added to help clients migrate to a PCI-HSM compliant mode and meet PCI-HSM PIN Transaction Security v3.0, 2016 requirements. TKE is required to manage Host Crypto Module domains in imprint and compliant mode.
Set clock: With TKE 9.0, you now have the ability to set the host crypto module's clock. The clock must be set before a domain can be placed in imprint mode.
Domain-specific Host Crypto Module audit log management: Domains in imprint mode or compliant mode on a Crypto Express6S maintain a domain-specific module audit log. The TKE provides a feature for downloading the audit records so they can be viewed.
Domain-specific roles and authorities: Domains in imprint mode or compliant mode on a Crypto Express6S must be managed using domain-specific roles and authorities. The TKE provides new management features for the domain-specific roles and authorities. The roles are subject to forced dual control policies which prevent roles from being able to both issue and cosign a command. Refer to the TKE User's Guide for detailed information on how to manage imprint and compliant mode domains.
Setup PCI environment wizard: To help simplify the management of a PCI-compliant domain, the TKE now provides a setup wizard that will create a minimum set of required dual control roles and authorities needed to manage a PCI-compliant domain. See the TKE User's Guide for detailed information on how to manage imprint and compliant mode domains.

FICON Express16S+

With the introduction of FICON Express16S+ on the z14, you now have additional growth opportunities for your storage area network (SAN).

FICON Express16S+ supports a link data rate of 16 gigabits per second (Gbps) and autonegotiation to 4 or 8 Gbps for synergy with existing switches, directors, and storage devices. With support for native FICON, High Performance FICON for Z (zHPF), and Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP), the z14 server enables you to position your SAN for even higher performance -- helping you to prepare for an end-to-end 16 Gbps infrastructure to meet the lower latency and increased bandwidth demands of your applications.

The new FICON Express16S+ adapter will work with your existing fiber optic cabling environment, both single mode and multimode optical cables. The FICON Express16S+ feature running at end-to-end 16 Gbps link speeds will provide reduced latency for large read/write operations and increased bandwidth compared to the FICON Express8S feature.

Increased throughput for the zHPF protocol: In laboratory measurements using FICON Express16S+ in an IBM z14 Model ZR1 with the zHPF protocol and small data transfer I/O operations, FICON Express16S+ operating at 16 Gbps achieved a maximum of 300,000 IOs/sec. In laboratory measurements, using FICON Express16S+ in an IBM z14 Model ZR1 with the zHPF protocol and a mix of large sequential read and write data transfer I/O operations, FICON Express16S+ operating at 16 Gbps achieved a maximum throughput of 3200 MB/sec (reads + writes) compared to a maximum of 2560 MB/sec (reads + writes) achieved with FICON Express16S operating at 16 Gbps. This performance data was measured in a controlled environment running an I/O driver program under z/OS. The actual throughput or performance that any user will experience will vary depending upon considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed.

Increased throughput for the FCP protocol: A FICON Express16S+ feature, when defined as CHPID type FCP, conforms to the Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) standard to support attachment of SCSI devices, to complement the classical storage attachment supported by FICON and zHPF channels. In laboratory measurements, using FICON Express16S+ in a z14 with the FCP protocol for small data transfer I/O operations, FICON Express16S+ operating at 16 Gbps achieved a maximum of 380,000 IOs/sec, compared to the maximum of 110,000 IOs/sec achieved with FICON Express16S operating at 16 Gbps. In laboratory measurements, using FICON Express16S+ in a z14 with the FCP protocol and FICON Express16S+ operating at 16 Gbps, FICON Express16S+ achieved a maximum throughput of 3200 MB/sec (reads + writes). This represents approximately a 25% increase in throughput. The actual throughput or performance that any user will experience will vary depending upon considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed.

The FCP protocol is supported by z/VM, z/VSE®, and Linux on IBM Z. See the Software requirements section.

Channel subsystem (CSS) scalability: The z14 ZR1 server, like the IBM z13s server, has support for 3 logical channel subsystems (LCSSs) which are required to support the 40 LPARs for z14 ZR1.

OSA-Express6S - an Ethernet technology refresh

A new generation of Ethernet features is being introduced for use in the PCIe+ I/O drawer and continues to be supported by the 16 GBps PCIe Gen3 host bus. This is an introduction of the full family of features -- 1000BASE-T Ethernet for copper environments, in addition to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) and Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) for single mode and multimode fiber optic environments. The performance characteristics are comparable to the OSA-Express5S features. They also retain the same form factor and port granularity -- two ports per feature for the 1000BASE-T Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet features, and one port per feature for the 10 Gigabit Ethernet features.

The OSA-Express6S family of features (#0422, #0423, #0424, #0425, #0426) is exclusive to the z14. They are supported by z/OS, z/VM, z/VSE ®, z/TPF, and Linux on IBM Z. See the Software requirements section.

IBM Virtual Flash Memory

IBM Virtual Flash Memory (VFM) is the replacement for the Flash Express features (#0402, #0403) which were available on the IBM zBC12 and IBM z13s. No application changes are required to change from IBM Flash Express to VFM.

IBM Virtual Flash Memory is designed to help improve availability and handling of paging workload spikes when running z/OS V2.3, V2.2, or V2.1, or on z/OS V1.13*. With this support, z/OS is designed to help improve system availability and responsiveness by using VFM across transitional workload events such as market openings, and diagnostic data collection. z/OS is designed to help improve processor performance by supporting middleware exploitation of pageable large (1 MB) pages.

Using VFM can help availability by reducing latency from paging delays that can occur at the start of the workday or during other transitional periods. It is also designed to help eliminate delays that can occur when collecting diagnostic data during failures. VFM can also be used in Coupling Facility images to provide extended capacity and availability for workloads making use of WebSphere® MQ Shared Queues structures.

VFM can therefore help organizations meet their most demanding service level agreements and compete more effectively. VFM is designed to be easy to configure, and to provide rapid time to value.

* z/OS V1.13 has additional requirements. See the Software requirements section.

IBM Db2® Analytics Accelerator

IBM ® Db2 ® Analytics Accelerator is a high-performance component tightly integrated with Db2 for z/OS ® that transforms the mainframe into a highly efficient, hybrid transaction and analytic processing environment. It delivers high-speed processing for complex Db2 queries to support business-critical reporting and analytic workloads. Db2 Analytics Accelerator Version 7.1 supports deployment on the z14 ZR1. Deployment of the IBM Db2 Analytics Accelerator on IBM Z allows for deeper integration with the IBM Z infrastructure, leveraging IBM Z qualities of service, such as resiliency, high-availability, and security, as well as resource sharing.

IBM zHyperLink Express

IBM zHyperLink Express is a direct connect short distance extremely low latency IBM Z I/O adapter. The zHyperLink adapter works in conjunction with your existing FICON SAN infrastructure, a corresponding DS8K feature, and an exploiter such as Db2 12 with a PTF. For time-sensitive applications, the new zHyperLink infrastructure fosters a new I/O paradigm for IBM mainframes. zHyperLink can improve application response time significantly, cutting read I/O sensitive workload response time by up to 50% without requiring application changes. zHyperLink Express is a 2-port adapter which resides in the PCIe+ I/O drawer and supports direct connectivity to FICON storage systems at distances up to 150 m.

Note: This response time estimate is based on IBM internal measurements and projections that assume 75% or more of the workload response time is associated with read DASD I/O and the storage system random read cache hit ratio is above 80%. The actual performance that any user will experience may vary.

Dynamic Partition Manager

Dynamic Partition Manager (DPM) provides simplified hardware and virtual infrastructure management, including partition lifecycle and integrated dynamic I/O management for Linux running in an LPAR, and under z/VM. Using DPM, an environment can be created, provisioned, and modified without disrupting running workloads, and monitored for troubleshooting. Previously, DPM only supported FCP storage. Enhancements to DPM provide support for FICON ECKD™ storage as well. Administrators can define, configure, provision, and manage both FCP and FICON ECKD storage in a simplified and consistent manner, without the need to understand underlying protocols during routine use. These enhancements include:

Support for autoconfiguration of devices to simplify Linux operating system installation, where Linux distribution installers exploit function
Secure FTP through HMC for booting and installing an operating system via FTP
Support for OSA-Express6S, FICON Express16S+, Crypto Express6S, and RoCE Express2 adapters

A CPC can be configured in either the Dynamic Partition Manager mode or PR/SM™ mode. The mode is enabled prior to the CPC power-on reset (POR).

Dynamic Partition Manager mode requires two OSA-Express 1000BASE-T Ethernet features for primary and backup connectivity (OSA-Express6S 1000BASE-T Ethernet, #0426 or OSA-Express5S 1000BASE-T Ethernet, #0417), along with associated cabling (HW for DPM, #0016).

The IBM Secure Service Container

The IBM Secure Service Container intends to create a cohesive, integrated platform with IBM Cloud Private for hybrid and private cloud deployments on IBM Z and LinuxONE. Clients will be able to deploy containerized IBM middleware applications as well as utilize common management tooling for deploying homegrown or other third-party Docker and Kubernetes based applications.

IBM Secure Service Container is designed to support the deployment of software container technology without requiring any application changes, making it potentially one of the easiest methods to address access and security concerns. This is especially useful considering the regulatory focus on protecting critical data from internal and external threats. Support features (#0103 and #0104) will ensure that Secure Service Container applications run smoothly, whether you are deploying a single-use application or a variable-purpose application type.

The Secure Service Container will consist of both a firmware framework and a software framework.

The following is an enhancement to the IBM z14 Model ZR1 IBM Secure Service Container firmware framework:

Simplification -- Dynamic Partition Manager support for dynamic resource management and creation of Secure Service Container LPARs without needing to re-IML.

The following are intended enhancements to the IBM Secure Service Container software framework:

Security
- Help enable secure boot of appliance via system unique key smart card access such that the Secure Service Container or system administrator cannot utilize privileged credentials to see or access the key.
- Runtime and tamper protection via BTRFS Filesystems for root and data volumes.
Appliance management
- Support the addition of FCP (and ECKD) storage to different disk pools via the appliance UI.
- Support network configurations managed by IPv4, IPv6, and VLAN configurations from the appliance UI.
- Enable appliance updates including import from a prior, saved and exported configuration -- avoid losing configuration data (going back to a "Factory Install"-like state); particularly useful for blockchain, which typically utilizes many concurrently running instances.
- Support different users and groups via Local LDAP server and UI management.
- Support starting appliance installer from a running appliance without having to interface with the HMC.
Usability
- Avoid appliance spoofs by ensuring that a trusted and uniquely signed instance of an appliance is booted only in one LPAR, not multiple LPARs.

z/Architecture mode

As announced with Hardware Announcement 115-001, dated January 14, 2015, beginning with z14, all IBM Z environments will only support operating systems running in z/Architecture mode. This applies to operating systems running native on PR/SM as well as operating systems running as second-level guests. IBM operating systems that run in ESA/390 mode are either no longer in service or only currently available with extended service contracts, and they are not usable on systems beginning with z14. However, z14 does provide ESA/390-compatibility mode, an environment supporting a subset of DAT-off ESA/390 applications in a hybrid architectural mode.

All 24-bit and 31-bit problem state application programs originally written to run on the ESA/390 architecture will be unaffected by this change.

z/OS support for the z14 ZR1

New functions in z/OS continue to enhance the role of IBM Z, with support for the z14 and its role in helping you provide solutions for a trusted digital economy. Capabilities designed to optimize high availability, performance, security, and operational flexibility can help organizations to grow and to secure their most critical transaction environments.

In addition to base processor support, z/OS provides the support for these z14 functions and features as described in IBM Software Announcement 217-246, dated July 17, 2017, IBM z®/OS Version 2 Release 3 -- Engine for digital transformation:

Improved cryptographic capabilities that can be leveraged to begin implementation of IBM's pervasive data encryption strategy.
The IBM zHyperLink Express feature (also, see the "IBM zHyperLink Express " section of this announcement).
Cryptography enhancements available with the Crypto Express6s feature.
Asynchronous Memory Clear using System Assist Processors (SAPs).
Additional new I/O attachment options including the OSA-Express6S, RoCE Express2, and FICON Express16S+ features.
Coupling Facility Level (CFLEVEL) 22 and new coupling link features (also, see the "Parallel Sysplex® enhancements" section of this announcement).
The Guarded Storage Facility, exploited by IBM SDK for z/OS, Java Technology Edition, Version 8 (5655-DGG).
The Instruction Execution Protection Facility.
IBM Virtual Flash Memory.
IBM Db2 Analytics Accelerator (IDAA) for z/OS, working with DB2 V11.1 and z/OS V2.1 or later.

See the Software requirements section of this announcement for the minimum z/OS requirements for the z14 and its features.

z/VSE support for the z14 ZR1

z/Architecture support: Starting with z/VSE V5.2, z/VSE and its stand-alone utilities run entirely in z/Architecture mode.

In addition to base processor support, z/VSE 6.2 provides the support for these z14 functions and features as described in Software Announcement 217-203, dated October 10, 2017, IBM z/VSE V6.2:

High Performance FICON for z Systems® (zHPF)
Vector Facility for z/Architecture, also referred to as Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD)
Improved cryptographic capabilities using the Crypto Express6S feature

Container Pricing for IBM Z

IBM introduced Container Pricing for IBM Z for qualified solutions running on IBM z13® and IBM z14 servers. Container Pricing provides simplified software pricing for qualified solutions, combining flexible deployment options with competitive economics that are directly relevant to those solutions.

Container Pricing can scale from collocated solutions within existing LPARs, through to separate LPARs, up to multiple-LPAR solutions, without directly impacting the cost of unrelated workloads.

Additionally, Container Pricing simplifies pricing and billing on the IBM Z platform, by superseding a number of existing price offerings and by fully automating the billing process.

IBM announced three solutions that are enabled with Container Pricing:

The New Application Solution provides a highly competitive stand-alone priced offering for new z/OS applications, such as CICS® TS or WebSphere applications. The New Application Solution is the strategic replacement for the current zCAP and IWP priced offerings. See Software Announcement 217-519, dated November 14, 2017.
The Application Development and Test Solution provides highly competitive stand-alone pricing for z/OS based development and test workloads. Modern DevOps tooling can be optionally added at uniquely discounted prices. See Software Announcement 217-490, dated November 14, 2017.
The Payments Solution provides a "per payment" pricing option for IBM Financial Transaction Manager for z/OS deployments. This new offering directly ties operational cost to business value by basing the price on the number of payments processed, rather than capacity used to process them. See Software Announcement 217-518, dated November 14, 2017.

Container Pricing for IBM Z is enabled in z/OS V2.2 and z/OS V2.3. z/OS will enhance both the Workload Manager capability of z/OS (z/OS WLM) and the Sub-Capacity Reporting Tool (SCRT) to support Container Pricing. This includes:

The introduction of a new Tenant Resource Group capability within z/OS WLM to allow the metering and optional capping of workloads, along with the ability to map those workloads directly to Container Pricing.
Enhancements to SCRT to capture eligible Container Pricing workloads, allowing for the billing of those solutions independently of traditional Sub-Capacity pricing.

z/VM support for the z14 ZR1

With the PTF for APAR VM65942, z/VM 6.4 provides support that will enable guests to exploit functions supported by z/VM on z14, which includes:
- Support for Crypto Express6S: z/VM support for the new Crypto Express6S (CEX6S) adapter is included for both shared and dedicated guest use. As with the prior crypto adapter support, the CEX6S adapter can be configured as an accelerator or as an IBM Common Cryptographic Architecture (CCA) coprocessor for shared or dedicated use by z/Architecture guests. When the CEX6S adapter is configured as an IBM Enterprise Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) #11 (EP11) coprocessor, the domains on the adapter can be dedicated to z/Architecture guests, but not shared. With Crypto Express6S support and support for the new and enhanced CPACF functions, z/VM V6.4 and V7.1 provide the prerequisite z14 encryption support to enable exploitation by guests in support of pervasive encryption.
- Installation of z/VM on z14 ZR1: z/VM V6.4 can be installed directly on an IBM z14 Model ZR1 server with an image obtained from IBM after August 25, 2017. The PTF for APAR VM65942 must be applied immediately after installing z/VM V6.4.
New hardware facilities: z/VM will enable guest use of new instructions and capabilities available on z14.

ESA/390-compatibility mode for guests: z14 does not support the full ESA/390 architectural mode. However, z14 does provide ESA/390-compatibility mode, an environment supporting a subset of DAT-off ESA/390 applications in a hybrid architectural mode. z/VM will provide the support necessary for DAT-off guests to run in this new compatibility mode, which allows guests such as CMS, GCS, and those that start in ESA/390 mode briefly before switching to z/Architecture mode to continue to run on z14.
The PTF for APAR VM65976 provides infrastructure support for ESA/390 compatibility mode within z/VM V6.2, V6.3, and V6.4, and must be installed on all members of an SSI cluster before any z/VM V6.3 or V6.4 member of the cluster is run on a z14 server.
Support for OSA Express6S: With the PTF for APAR PI73016, the TCP/IP stack and the NETSTAT OSAINFO command are updated to support OSA-Express6S adapters.

Dynamic I/O support: Dynamic I/O support is provided for managing the configuration of OSA-Express 6S OSD CHPIDs, FICON Express 16S+ FC and FCP CHPIDs, Regional Crypto Enablement (RCE), zHyperLink Express, and RoCE Express 2 functions. The PTF for APAR VM65865 provides dynamic I/O support for the Coupling Express LR adapter.

RoCE Express2 support: Guest exploitation support for RoCE Express2 allows the adapters to be brought online and attached to supporting guests for exploitation.

Improved memory management support: The z14 processor design allows greater concurrency in address translation. This improvement may increase z/VM workloads' performance compared to z13, particularly when z/VM is configured to exploit multithreading.

Guest exploitation support for the Instruction Execution Protection Facility:

With the PTF for APAR VM65986, z/VM V6.4 provides support for guest exploitation of the z14 Instruction Execution Protection Facility. This facility provides functionality to help improve the security of programs running on IBM Z by allowing virtual memory elements to be identified as containing only data. If an attempt is made to fetch an instruction from an address in such an element or if an address in such an element is the target of an execute-type instruction, a Protection Exception will occur.

Guest exploitation support for Guarded Storage during Java garbage collection:

With APAR VM65987, z/VM V6.4 provides support for guest exploitation of the IBM z14 Model ZR1 Guarded Storage Facility. This facility is designed to improve the performance of garbage-collection processing by Java8 SR5. Essentially, this function allows an area of storage to be identified as "do not disturb", and garbage collection will avoid that area until later, intended to reduce percieved hang or pause time during processing.

Encrypted paging support:

With the PTF for APAR VM65993, z/VM V6.4 provides support for encrypted paging, in support of the IBM z14 Model ZR1 pervasive encryption philosophy of encrypting data in flight and at rest. Ciphering will occur as data moves between active memory and a paging volume owned by z/VM. Included in the support is the ability to dynamically control whether a running z/VM system is encrypting this data.

Sub-capacity pricing terms for z/VM and select z/VM-based programs:

Sub-capacity pricing for the z/VM V6 operating environment is available to clients running z/VM Version 6 Release 3 or higher. Software pricing at less than full machine capacity can provide more flexibility and improved cost of computing as a client manages the volatility and growth of new workloads. For more information about sub-capacity pricing terms for z/VM and z/VM-based programs, see Software Announcement 217-267, dated July 17, 2017.

z/VM continuous delivery philosophy:

IBM has adopted a new practice for z/VM, known as the continuous delivery (CD) support model, for delivering new functions via PTFs to assist enterprises in receiving functions more quickly. IBM will deliver new functions via PTFs, while continuing to recognize that base stability is a critical component. Clients will continue to receive the same world-class support and assistance from IBM to which they are accustomed as part of the standard Software Subscription and Support (S&S) offering. The z/VM service page provides details on new z/VM functions that have been or will be provided using this continuous delivery model and allows for subscribing to be alerted when new functions have been made available.

Introducing z/VM V7.1 ushering in a new z/VM release cadence:

IBM plans to usher in a new era for delivering product enhancements to its advanced virtualization technology on IBM Z servers. Continuous delivery of new functions throughout the life of a z/VM release will offer clients timely support for new technology using a delivery mechanism that is trusted and time tested.

z/VM plans to allow two releases to be marketed simultaneously. z/VM Version 7 releases will be delivered on a 24-month cadence: in the month of September every other year, beginning in September 2018. Most new z/VM V7 functions will be delivered as Small Programming Enhancements (SPEs) in the service stream of the current release. When a new release is introduced, SPEs will be delivered on that release going forward and, with few exceptions, the prior release will receive corrective service but no new functions. z/VM 6.4 will remain orderable for 18 months after the availability of z/VM 7.1.

Additional information on z/VM 7.1 can be found in Software Announcement 218-150, dated April 10, 2018, Preview z/VM 7.1.

Access to a Parallel Sysplex environment

Parallel Sysplex is a synergy between hardware and software -- a highly advanced technology for clustering designed to enable the aggregate capacity of multiple z/OS systems to be applied against common workloads. z/OS combined with z14, z13, and z13s servers, Coupling Facilities, Server Time Protocol (STP), and ICA SR and CE LR coupling links, depending on processor type, allows you to harness the power of multiple systems as though they were a single logical computing system.

Coupling links provide a path to transmit and receive Coupling Facility (CF) data as well as Server Time Protocol (STP) timekeeping messages. The CF data may be exchanged between z/OS and the CF or between CFs.

STP - Time synchronization for Parallel Sysplex Server Time Protocol (STP) is designed to allow events occurring in different servers to be properly sequenced in time. STP is designed for servers that have been configured in a Parallel Sysplex or a basic sysplex (without a Coupling Facility), as well as servers that are not in a sysplex but need time synchronization.

STP is a server-wide facility that is implemented in the Licensed Internal Code (LIC), presenting a single view of time to Processor Resource/Systems Manager™ (PR/SM). STP uses a message-based protocol in which timekeeping information is passed over externally defined coupling links between servers. The STP design introduced a concept called Coordinated Timing Network (CTN), a collection of servers and Coupling Facilities that are time-synchronized to a time value called Coordinated Server Time.

STP enhancements

z14 introduces an additional stratum level 4 for Server Time Protocol (STP) synchronization. With the additional stratum level, STP can synchronize systems up to 3 steps away from the Current Time Server (CTS). Prior systems allowed synchronization only up to level 3, or up to 2 steps from the CTS. This additional stratum level is not intended for long-term use; rather, it is specifically intended for short-term use during configuration changes for large timing networks, to avoid some of the cost and complexity caused by being constrained to a 3-stratum timing configuration.

z14 also introduces a new Graphical User Display for the STP network and configuration. The new user interface has been revamped for a quick, intuitive view of the various pieces of the STP relationship network map, including the status of the components of the timing network. The new IBM z14 Model ZR1 support allows the new level of HMC to manage older systems using the same new interface.

Parallel Sysplex enhancements

The z14 models introduce new features beyond the z13 and z13s for use within Parallel Sysplex environments.

For long reach coupling connectivity, the new Coupling Express Long Reach (CE LR) link (#0433) is available with IBM z14 Model ZR1. This CE LR link is concurrently being made available on, and is compatible with all models of z14, z13, and z13s systems, which allows for sysplex connectivity back to these systems. Unlike the 1x IFB InfiniBand coupling links, which were plugged into the processor drawer, the CE LR link is plugged within a PCIe+ I/O drawer slot, taking advantage of more industry-standard I/O technology, such as converged Ethernet. The location inside the PCIe+ I/O drawer allows users to fan links out across multiple 2-port CE LR cards, up to a maximum of 16 features (32 links maximum). Compared to the HCAO-3 IFB InfiniBand LR with 4-port and 4-link increments, the CE LR link allows for more granularity when scaling up or completing maintenance. Link performance is similar to the InfiniBand 1x coupling link and uses identical single mode fiber. The CE LR link provides point-to-point coupling connectivity at distances of 10 km unrepeated and 100 km with a qualified dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) device.

Integrated Coupling Adapter - Short Reach (ICA-SR) continues to be available across the all the models of z14, z13, and z13s. The ICA-SR is replacing connections that may have been 12x IFB InfinBand coupling links in prior generations. The z14 ZR1 does not support 12x IFB InfiniBand coupling links, and clients should take the opportunity to refresh their sysplex coupling links. The ICA-SR is supported via direct processor drawer connection, and can be an integral to a sysplex configuration with up to 8 features (16 ports) available per z14 ZR1.

Per prior Statements of Direction, IBM will remove support for both the HCA3-O LR fanout for 1x IFB InfiniBand coupling links and the HCA3-O fanout for the 12x IFB InfiniBand coupling links for the z14 ZR1 and all future IBM Z systems. The IBM z14 ZR1 server does not support HCA3-O LR 1x IFB InfiniBand coupling links or HCA3-O 12x IFB InfiniBand coupling links. The z13s is the last midrange IBM Z server to support the HCA3-O LR 1x IFB InfiniBand coupling links or HCA3-O 12x IFB InfiniBand coupling links.

IBM Z enterprises should plan to migrate off of InfiniBand coupling links.

For high-speed short-reach coupling connectivity, enterprises should migrate to the Integrated Coupling Adapter (ICA-SR).
For long-reach coupling connectivity, enterprises should migrate to the new CE LR coupling adapter. For long-reach coupling connectivity requiring a DWDM, enterprises will need to determine their desired DWDM vendor's plan to qualify the CE LR. See Hardware Announcement 117-031, dated March 14, 2017.

Coupling Facility (CF) processor scalability: The z14 provides a new level of the Coupling Facility Control Code (CFCC), CFLEVEL 22, which provides new capabilities as described below. Coupling Facility work management and dispatching changes for z14 CFLEVEL 22 allow improved efficiency and scalability for Coupling Facility images. Together, these changes will improve the processor scalability and throughput for a CF image.

Ordered work queues have been eliminated from the CF in favor of first-in / first-out queues, avoiding the overhead of maintaining ordered queues.
Protocols for system-managed duplexing have been simplified to avoid the potential for latching deadlocks between duplexed structures.

CF list notification enhancements: There are significant enhancements in z14 CFLEVEL 22 to CF notifications that inform users about the status of shared objects within a Coupling Facility. The combination of these notification enhancements provides flexibility to accommodate notification preferences among various CF exploiters, and yields more consistent, timely notifications.

First, structure notifications can use a round-robin scheme for delivering immediate and deferred notifications that avoids excessive "shotgun" notifications, reducing notification overhead.
Second, there is now an option for delivering "aggressive" notifications, which can drive a notification when new elements are added to a queue, providing initiative to get new work processed in a timely manner.
Third, notifications can now be driven when a queue transitions between full and not-full, allowing exploiters to redrive messages that could not previously be written to a full queue.

CF encryption: z/OS V2.3 provides support for end-to-end encryption for both CF data in flight and data at rest in CF structures (as part of a more pervasive encryption solution). Host-based CPACF encryption is used for high performance and low latency. z14 CFLEVEL 22 CF images are not required, but are recommended in order to simplify some sysplex recovery and reconciliation scenarios involving encrypted CF structures. (Note that the CF image itself never decrypts, nor encrypts, any data.) z14 z/OS images are not required, but are recommended for the improved AES CBC encrypt/decrypt performance that z14 provides.

Hardware Management Console (HMC)

HMC/SE user interface: The z14 Hardware Management Console and Support Element will support only the Tree Style user interface. The Classic Style user interface is no longer supported.

The following enhancements have been made to the Tree Style user interface to aid with new users of Tree Style as well as address pain points of existing users.

A new Masthead with Favorites and Search controls will help users quickly find and launch tasks.
Tasks will now open in tabs within the user interface (instead of separate browser windows) to make finding and managing running tasks easier.
There is also the ability to have the task tab "pop out" into a separate window, giving users the ability to have a similar parallel task display window as on previous Tree Style controls and allowing the task displays to be viewed on other physical displays.

Manage System Time: The Manage System Time task replaces the System (Sysplex) Time task on HMC. The new Manage System Time task provides a simplified workflow for system time management including:

Improved help tools to complement and improve system administrator skills:
- Inline definition of technical terms.
Improved user experience with visual representation of configuration panels:
- Guidance provided within the workflows.
- Topology displays of system time networks.
- Errors surfaced in visualization for easier problem resolution of setup errors.
Single point of system time management for multiple systems.

IBM Hardware Management Console (HMC) 2.14.0 security enhancements: New security features in the Hardware Management Console (HMC) 2.14.0 available with z14 include Multifactor Authentication, Enhanced Computing in support of NIST Standard 800-147B, Crypto Compliance Levels, FTP through HMC, SNMP/BCPii API Security Controls, Secure Console to Console Communication Enhancements, Remote Browser IP Address Limiting, and more.

Multifactor Authentication: The Hardware Management Console will now offer an optional control of Multifactor Authentication in addition to the userid/password controls provided today. If the Multifactor option is selected for a given user, that user will now be required to enter a second authentication factor using a TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) defined by RFC 6238. RFC 6238 is implemented by freely available smartphone and web apps utilizing a secret key provided per HMC user.
HMC Mobile for Z and LinuxONE: New iOS and Android mobile apps are available for the HMC 2.14.0 supporting z14, z13, and z13s systems. HMC Mobile will help enable HMC users to securely monitor and manage systems from anywhere. The apps provide system and partition views, status monitoring, hardware messages, operating system messages, and the ability to receive push notifications from the HMC using the existing zRSF (z Systems Remote Support Facility) connection. HMC Mobile is disabled by default and, once enabled, provides a robust set of security controls. Administrators can restrict usage to specific HMC users and IP addresses, require the use of app passwords, enable multifactor authentication, restrict the app to read-only access, and more.
Firmware tamper detection: z14 will also offer an enhancement on the Support Element that provides notification if tampering with booting of firmware on the server (CPC) is detected. This enhancement is designed to meet the BIOS Protection Guidelines recommended and published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Special Publication 800-147B. If tampering is detected, the Support Element will issue a user alert via a warning or a lock of the Support Element, depending on the configuration. If "call home" support is enabled on a z14 Hardware Management Console managing the Support Element, additional analysis of the Support Element will be performed and displayed by IBM Resource Link.
In addition to this support, the Hardware Management Console also has been enhanced to provide attempted tamper monitoring and reporting. A newly manufactured Hardware Management Console directly ordered with z14, or at a later time, is required for this protection. Any detected events of attempted tampering will be logged and will issue a user alert via a warning or a lock of the Hardware Management Console, depending on setup configuration. In addition, if "call home" support is enabled on the Hardware Management Console, supplementary analysis of events logged by the Hardware Management Console will be available on IBM Resource Link.

Although clients can carry forward their Hardware Management Consoles on z14, these tamper protection capabilities will be delivered only on newly manufactured Hardware Management Consoles. The z14 environment can contain both Hardware Management Consoles that have been carried forward and newly manufactured Hardware Management Consoles.
IBM Enhanced Remote Support Facility: The IBM Enhanced Remote Support Facility was first introduced on zEC12/zBC12 systems and for those systems and z13/z13s, both the Enhanced and Legacy Remote Support Facility support could be utilized. The Enhanced support provided improved problem data uploads and fix data downloads. z14 processors will no longer connect to the legacy IBM Support Facility.
- z14 HMCs supporting older z10EC/z10BC - z13 systems will still require connections to the legacy IBM Support Facility.
- z14 HMCs supporting only z14 systems only require IBM Enhanced Support Facility connections.
- A connection to the IBM Enhanced Support Facility is required to support z14 HMCs regardless of the CPC they are supporting.
If you had not previously configured firewalls and proxy support with the ability to connect to the Enhanced Support Facility, this will be required for z14 HMC and CPC connections per above rules.
Global OSA/SF: The HMC Global OSA/SF will now provide a global view of all OSA PCHIDs and the monitoring and diagnostic information previously available in the Query Host command.
New characters supported for Load parms: Starting with z14 the Load parameter for Load task, Activation Load and Image Profiles will now allow three new characters: @#$. z13/z13s or older systems support a character set of A-Z, 0-9, "." (period), and " " (blanks). z14 systems will support a character set of A-Z, 0-9, "." (period), " " (blanks), "@", "#", and "$".
FTP through HMC: To maximize security features, IBM recommends that clients keep their IBM Z on a dedicated network with one HMC network used for that network and the second HMC network used for outward communication (IBM Support Facility, remote browsing, automation). However, for systems prior to z14, this created a security challenge for FTP operations originating from the SE. Clients have to either put their FTP server on the IBM Z dedicated network or put their IBM Z on their intranet network.
Starting with z14, all FTP operations originating from the SE will be proxied through a managing HMC. This now allows the FTP SE originated operations to follow IBM security recommendations. In addition, all HMC/SE tasks that support FTP will provide three options of FTP: FTP, FTPS, and SFTP.
- FTPS is SSL based and uses certificates to authenticate servers.
- SFTP is SSH based and uses SSH keys to authenticate servers.
- Username and passwords are required for client authentication in all three protocols.
Console to console communications: HMC consoles have used anonymous cipher suites for some inter-console communication purposes. These cipher suites, while providing encryption and integrity validation, do not provide cryptographic authentication. Network security scanners can detect this, and anonymous cipher suites may not be acceptable to some clients' security policies. Starting with the z14 HMC/SE, the console to console communications solution, when security is enabled, will no longer use anonymous cipher suites and will begin using an industry standard based password driven cryptography system. This system provides cryptographic encryption, integrity validation, and authentication.
SNMP/BCPii API enhancements: Prior to z14, when you enabled SNMP BCPii via controls for the HMC/SE, it was enabled for all LPARs to have equal send and receive command capability. Starting with z14 there are new "BCPii Permission" controls which allow you to have granular LPAR/System BCPii command controls. The HMC/SE can be configured for Enable/disable send capability, Enable/disable receive capability, Enable for all senders, and Enable for list of origin partitions. These controls can be specified for CPC via the System Details task (HMC or SE) or can be specified for Images via the Image profile and Change LPAR Security task (HMC or SE). Some additional changes have been made to improve the performance for z/OS BCPii, for query operations Profiles, LPAR Controls/Security data, and EC/MCL data.
Removal of Common Infrastructure Module (CIM) Management Interface: The HMC 2.14.0 will no longer support the Hardware Console Common Infrastructure Module (CIM) Management Interface. The Hardware Management Console Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), and Web Services Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) will continue to be supported.

Enhancements to software pricing Technology Transition Offerings

Coinciding with the announcement of the z14 Model ZR1 server, IBM is making available a new Technology Transition Offering (TTO) called Technology Update Pricing for the z14 Model ZR1. Technology Update Pricing for the z14 Model ZR1 offers price-performance advantages for z14 Model ZR1 servers. IBM is also updating the "Technology Update Pricing for the z14" offering and three revised Transition Charges for Sysplexes or Multiplexes offerings to add the z14 Model ZR1. In addition, zSeries Entry License Charge (zELC) pricing applies to the z14 Model ZR1 capacity setting A01, the entry z14 Model ZR1 server.

Technology Update Pricing for the z14 Model ZR1 extends the software price-performance provided by AEWLC for stand-alone z14 Model ZR1 servers, and applies to eligible z/OS, z/TPF, and z/VSE operating systems and their associated middleware programs. AEWLC, zNALC, and Tiered Workload License Charges (TWLC) are the only pricing metrics available on a stand-alone z14 Model ZR1 server, with the exception of the z14 Model ZR1 capacity setting A01. The Entry Workload License Charges (EWLC) and the Midrange Workload License Charges (MWLC) license options are not available for a z14 Model ZR1 server.

When a z14 Model ZR1 server is in an actively coupled z/OS Parallel Sysplex or z/TPF Loosely Coupled Complex, you may choose either stand-alone AEWLC, aggregated AWLC pricing, or aggregated Parallel Sysplex License Charges (PSLC) pricing, subject to all applicable terms and conditions. When a z14 Model ZR1 server is part of a Multiplex under Country Multiplex Pricing (CMP) terms, CMLC, MzNALC, and Tiered Workload License Charges (TWLC) are the only pricing metrics available, subject to all applicable terms and conditions.

For additional information about software pricing for the z14 Model ZR1 server, see Software Announcement 218-156, dated April 10, 2018.

For more information about AWLC, CMLC, CMP, MzNALC, PSLC, zNALC, or the Transition Charges for Sysplexes or Multiplexes TTO offerings, see the IBM Z software pricing website.

16U Reserved (#0617) hardware configuration flexibility

For clients utilizing one or two PCIe+ drawers, there is a new option to hold 16U Reserved (#0617) space in the z14 ZR1 rack. This 16U of space in the frame can be populated by a client with other server elements such as switches, storage, or servers. These additional elements are beneficial if it helps to plan elements that will work together within a frame, while reducing the physical footprint required in a data center. When the 16U Reserved feature is ordered, the z14 ZR1 order will provide additional power ports in redundant power distribution units (PDUs), along with weight ballast and air flow fillers as appropriate. Clients should take care to evaluate requirements of the Installation Manual for Physical Planning (IMPP), as there are requirements regarding additional element weight, air flow, power draw, and certification status. Note that IBM would first complete installation of the z14 ZR1 and turn it over to client operation, and then the additional elements could be added if the 16U Reserved (#0617) has been ordered. This new hardware configuration flexibility feature is perfect for clients who fit into smaller I/O configurations and need the additional ease of a single-footprint approach.

Product positioning

Information technology is experiencing exponential growth in data and transaction volumes driven by digital transformation and delivery through the cloud. To succeed in this environment, businesses must not only be able to manage, store, and protect information, but also be able to put the data to work predicting new opportunities and customizing user experiences. From a user perspective, IT must create an environment where users have confidence that data is protected and available from anywhere and any device. This ability to be fast and flexible in delivery of new services, with insight and security, will differentiate a business. The z14 Model ZR1 delivers unique capabilities to help with that differentiation.

At the heart of every enterprise lies core business data, assets which if lost or compromised could cause irreparable damage. Core business data is often governed by regulatory requirements designed to protect data and safeguard privacy, often with high penalties in the event of loss or inadvertent disclosure. Internal and external pressures to protect customer data have changed the perspective around how core business data should be handled and protected. Establishing a "perimeter" around core data using encryption is one of the most impactful ways to protect data and prevent loss. The objective is to create a fortified perimeter around core business data, wherever it may physically reside. When as much data and transactional pipeline as possible is encrypted, potential data breach risks and financial losses can be reduced, cloud infrastructures can be secure, and compliance with regulatory mandates can be simplified. On the IBM z14 servers, more secure pervasive encryption capabilities offer a transparent and consumable approach to encrypt virtually all in-flight and at-rest data. Using simple policy controls, z14 pervasive encryption streamlines data protection for mission-critical datasets. The IBM z14 platform provides pervasive encryption capabilities designed to enable you to protect data efficiently, and without requiring application changes. This protection is critical in the hybrid cloud environment as businesses try to accommodate placement of workloads.

The IBM z14 platform provides the hardware infrastructure, in a balanced system design, with the encryption capabilities that now make it possible to create a fortified perimeter around critical business data. The Central Processor Assist for Cryptographic Function (CPACF) is standard on every z14 core, and is enabled via feature #3863. The CPACF has both the cryptographic suite and performance characteristics that can enable bulk encryption of sensitive business data that makes it possible to fortify, intrinsically protecting business data using encryption technology. Working with the new Crypto Express6S feature (#0893), the key materials used to create this fortified data perimeter are protected, using the IBM Z® unique protected key CPACF in which the keys used in the encryption process are not visible to the applications or operating system.

IBM Secure Service Container can encapsulate data and applications inside a virtual lockbox -- helping to protect it from external and internal threats. By completely restricting system administrator access to the container, Secure Service Container defends against the misuse of privileged user credentials. Aimed at the z14 models including ZR1, IBM plans to enhance this technology, and it will be designed to allow for any IBM or non-IBM application deployed via Docker and Kubernetes in a Secure Service Container without requiring application changes, for the simplest form of broad-level securable applications and data.

The z14 Model ZR1 provides a new industry-standard infrastructure to meet the demands of entry-level digital businesses and allow easier delivery through a secure cloud. With up to 30 configurable Linux cores and up to 6 Central Processor (CP) cores for IBM zOS, z/VSE®, z/VM®, or Linux on IBM Z, z14 Model ZR1 has performance and scaling advantages over prior generations, and more capacity than the z13s. The new 16U Reserved feature allows clients to create all-in-one solutions to run their processsors, storage, and switches for a complete private or hybrid cloud server solution.

The new FICON® Express 16S+ features (#0427 and 0428) deliver an increase in I/O rates and in link bandwidth, and a reduction in single-stream latency. This allows the z14 models the ability to absorb large applications and transaction spikes driven by unpredictable mobile and IoT devices. Next-generation SMT on z14 delivers improved virtualization performance to benefit Linux. High-speed connectivity out to the data is critical in achieving exceptional levels of transaction throughput. The new IBM zHyperLink Express adapter (#0431) is a direct connect short distance IBM Z I/O adapter offering extremely low latency connectivity to FICON storage systems.

With up to 8 TB of real memory, z14 Model ZR1 can open opportunities such as in-memory data marts, large buffer pools for data access, and in-memory analytics while giving you the necessary room to tune applications for optimal performance. Through exploitation of the Vector Packed Decimal Facility that allows packed decimal operations to be performed in registers rather than memory, faster mathematical computations and compilers, such as Enterprise COBOL for z/OS, V6.2, Enterprise PL/I for z/OS, V5.2, z/OS V2.3 XL C/C++, the COBOL optimizer, Automatic Binary Optimizer for z/OS, V1.3, and Java™, are optimized on z14. These compilers and optimizer are designed to help improve application performance, reduce CPU usage, and reduce operating costs. Java improvements and the use of crypto acceleration will deliver additional improvements in throughput per core, which gives a natural boost to z/OS Connect EE, WebSphere® Liberty in CICS®, IBM Open Data Analytics for z/OS, and IBM Java for Linux on Z.

To take advantage of new data, businesses on IBM Z can leverage the use of application programming interfaces (APIs) and microservices within the enterprise server environment. The z14 models are especially well-suited, considering the value of a high-availability, high-reliability, high-speed server with the additional value of Linux on Z running side-by-side with z/OS, z/VSE, z/VM, or z/TPF. Linux on Z supports a wealth of new IBM, ISV, and open source products and languages. Application developers can bring on new talent and deploy it quickly, applying skills such as Go, Python, Scala, Node.js, Docker, Spark, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and MariaDB. New accompanying software like Application Discovery and Delivery Intelligency (ADDI) can continue to further assist both development and production workload managers in training new talent, identifying areas ripe for changes, and completing self-audits of data structures.

Statement of general direction

IBM Storage and IBM Z collaboration on 16U Reserved (#0617) applications

IBM Storage intends to deliver a high-performance, high-availability, ECKD™/Distributed format flash storage that can be mounted in a z14 ZR1 or LinuxONE Rockhopper II server rack with the associated 16U Reserved (#0617) space inside the 19-inch rack. This new storage solution opens the opportunities for clients requiring the high-availability, performance, and Z synergy functions of DS8880, and looking for ways to increase their data center flexibility. For z14 ZR1 customers, this will also create a flexible option for clients to include zHyperLink capability in-rack with the z14 ZR1.

Secure Service Container for IBM Cloud Private on Linux on Z and LinuxONE

IBM intends to deliver IBM Cloud Private on Linux on Z in Secure Service Containers. IBM Cloud Private in Secure Service Containers on Linux on Z and LinuxONE is designed to offer unmatched security of IBM Cloud Private nodes with workload isolation, pervasive encryption of data and executable binaries for container-based applications, and protection from privileged users to mitigate breaches and leaks from internal or external threats, ransomware, and malware.

Application Discovery and Delivery Intelligence

IBM intends to deliver application expansion of Application Discovery and Delivery Intelligence (ADDI) to run on Linux on Z. ADDI significantly enhances a user's ability to view and audit endpoints of applications. This capability can be used to convert older applications into the nimble building blocks desired, as well as view the full application view for both training and self-audit opportunities. IBM ADDI can be referenced as an IBM software product.

Ensemble and zEnterprise® Unified Resource Manager

IBM z14 is the last IBM Z server to support Ensembles and zEnterprise Unified Resource Manager (zManager). The z14 HMC level is the last HMC level to support Ensembles.
