Server network connectivity

Eliminate physical cabling with multiple options to communicate between virtual servers on a single IBM mainframe. Learn about the internal LAN connectivity capabilities.

Gain strong, fast connections across a physical LAN for both IP-based and non-IP-based workloads. See how these adapters can be combined to provide high-speed TCP/IP communications.

Discover the cost and resource savings of secure, integrated console controller functionality. Utilize System Operator/Master consoles and standard tn3270e consoles for z/OS®, z/VM® and z/VSE®.

Apply resilient, high-performance channels for critical workloads. FICON provides connection to Count-Key-Data (CKD) and Extended Count Key Data (ECKD) devices over Fibre Channel links.

Consolidate UNIX server farms by attaching to industry-standard SCSI storage controllers and devices with high-performance, virtualized connections for z/VM, z/VSE, and Linux on Z workloads.

Help accelerate z/OS DB2 database transactions and leverage short distance, point-to-point PCI-e links with this low-latency connectivity to FICON storage systems.

Gain high-speed, efficient communication between a CF partition and one or more z/OS logical partitions that are running on the same CPC.

Connect Coupling Facilities within 150 meters of distance, using standard PCI-e interfaces for high-speed differential communication.

Drive distances up to 10km with unrepeated RoCE technology, unrepeated and up to 100km thanks to IBM Z qualified Dense Wavelength Multiplexers (DWDM).
