This session serves as a kickoff for the z/OS System Programming and Hardware tracks at SHARE Cleveland this week. We will start with a very quick review of what this SHARE track covers and a list of recommended sessions to attend during the week. Next, Becky & Art will speak on 'The future's so bright' presentation on the mainframe. Finally, Steve Warren and Andrew Sica will give an intro to the new z17 Hardware. What is the big deal about this IBM z17 server from IBM announced about 4 months ago, anyway? The IBM z17 and its accompanying AI technology will fundamentally transform transaction processing and data to unlock additional productivity and efficiency for your business. In this abbreviated session, we will take a quick look at what z17 makes possible for you: doubling down on AI with new LLM and GenAI capabilities; enhanced security capabilities to stay ahead of threat actors, and improvements in business efficiency. Consider this a launchpad for the wide variety of sessions offered at SHARE throughout the week that dive into the incredible new capabilities on this amazing server, z/OS and the plethora of exploiters of the technology that will drive your business forward!
