What is z/Transaction Processing Facility?
IBM® z/Transaction Processing Facility (z/TPF) is a high-volume, high-throughput transaction processor, that can handle large, continuous loads of complex transactions across large, geographically dispersed networks. But it is more than just a transaction processor: z/TPF is also an operating system and a unique database, all designed to work together as one system.
