Abstract
Machine-speed threats from frontier agentic AI, exemplified by models like Anthropic's Mythos, are raising the bar for data center defense. Ensuring the availability, performance, and security expected for the IBM z17 platform against that threat requires a modernized storage network.
Join us to learn the NEW best practices for FICON connectivity using the IBM b-type Gen 8 SAN with IBM z17 and DS8000. We will cover why legacy SAN installations fall short and how to architect for the future with a focus on the following:
FICON Optimization: Learn new device-connectvity patterns for Gen 8 to reduce latency and maximize IOPS across the fabric for uncompromising performance.
Resilient Connectivity: Deploy high-availability patterns to guarantee continuous access for mission-critical workloads.
Hardened Security: Lock down your FICON infrastructure using Gen 8 features designed to neutralize autonomous, agent-based AI threats.
Bring your questions for these Broadcom experts as they discuss these critical topics.
