Just as Generation Z is the generation born after 2000, System z is the computing platform for the new millennium. With its open architecture, tools, superior integration with existing applications and data, and excellent operational characteristics, this modern computing platform is the natural place to deploy "Next Gen" applications. Furthermore, as companies struggle with the sprawling costs of legacy Wintel servers, the concepts of centralization, efficiency and intelligent infrastructure are more relevant than ever.

This one-day, complimentary IBM briefing on System z will appeal to IT managers, IT architects and anyone interested in understanding the latest in commercial computer systems technology. Through interactive discussion and live demonstrations that focus on real-life business scenarios, you will discover how System z technology can help you solve existing and pressing business problems.

Learn how IBM’s System z hardware and software can enable you to work smarter and build sustainable business advantage. See how the mainframe provides an agile infrastructure to help you deploy new business models and thrive in the current business climate. By creating dynamic business processes that can be quickly changed, enterprises can reuse existing assets for new ventures with the confidence that the system will continue to perform effectively while connecting an ever-increasing scope of customers, employees, partners, and the "internet of things".

Examine the case for centralizing data so that more informed, intelligent decisions can be made in real-time to take advantage of the ever-increasing pace of global change. See how new mainframe software answers the expanding needs of analytics, leveraging multiple types of information and serving increasing numbers of applications and users.

The seminar will address the fundamental differences of the centralized data center contrasting it with alternatives, especially single-use, proliferated systems. The aspects of mainframe clustering, scalability, security and availability will be discussed as well as how system z is ecologically smart and green in its energy consumption. In closing, discover how System z can be the IT platform with the lowest Total Cost of Ownership, and learn how you can further reduce IT costs while exploiting the latest computer science technology such as super-virtualization.
