Tags: Proceedings , 2011 , SHARE in Orlando 2011

IBM System z customers are familiar with the isolation, security, and integrity features that the hardware provides. However, many customers using z/VM for the first time are new to the world of virtualization and seek reassurance not only that multiple virtual servers can share hardware resources efficiently, but that they run in a secure environment and comply with organizational IT security policies.  This presentation is an overview of the security and integrity mechanisms in z/VM.  We will discuss how the Control Program creates a secure environment, your responsibilities, and IBM's commitments, including certifications.
