Z16 introduced two new, important enhancements for STP: 1) Having the external
time reference (PTP and or/NTP) connected directly to the CEC via a new,
specialized network adapter card to improve time synchronization accuracy to UTC
capability and 2) the N-Mode Power capability that replaces the Internal Battery
Feature (IBF) for improving resiliency. This session will discuss those two new
z16 technologies in detail and will discuss IBM Z''s thoughts on the future
direction of time synchronization technology.
