z/VM - The Value Leader in Virtualization

Project and Program: Linux & VM, Virtualization

Tags: Proceedings, 2016, SHARE in San Antonio 2016

For those that have used z/VM for ten years or more; you might be taking for granted the value add that it brings. Most sessions look at just the newest features of a product. This session is meant to review the greatest value that can be found in z/VM. We'll start with a review of some design principles for the hypervisor. Then we'll look at various features and facilities that bring added value to virtualization: performance management; dynamic resource management; efficiency; scaling; and systems management.  We'll also spend a little time debunking some of the more common criticisms of the mainframe and z/VM. The session is meant for both those new to z/VM and those that have worked with z/VM who are looking to be able to articulate the value.-Bill Bitner-IBM Corporation
