z/VM 6.2 - Increasing the Endless Possibilities of Virtualization

Project and Program: Linux & VM, VM

Tags: Proceedings , SHARE in Boston 2013 , 2013

By now you have probably heard about z/VM 6.2 delivering on the promise of Single System Image (SSI) Clusters and Live Guest Relocation (LGR).  It all sounds cool, but are you struggling with where to use it? Wondering what makes it different than other virtualization solutions? This session has two objectives. First, to validate that this isn't just another clustering or guest mobility solution. There are thousands of years of virtualization experience behind SSI and LGR, and that experience shows through. Second, we discuss some ways that SSI and LGR allow you greater flexibility and better business models. Some of these are fairly conventional, some are a little off the normal thought process.
