Abstract

This IBM® Redbooks® publication introduces the latest IBM z Systems™ platforms, the IBM z13™ and IBM z13s. It includes information about the z Systems environment and how it can help integrate data, transactions, and insight for faster and more accurate business decisions.

The z13 and z13s are state-of-the-art data and transaction systems that deliver advanced capabilities that are vital to modern IT infrastructures. These capabilities include:


  • Accelerated data and transaction serving
  • Integrated analytics
  • Access to the API economy
  • Agile development and operations
  • Efficient, scalable, and secure cloud services
  • End-to-end security for data and transactions

This book explains how these systems use both new innovations and traditional z Systems strengths to satisfy growing demand for cloud, analytics, and mobile applications. With one of these z Systems platforms as the base, applications can run in a trusted, reliable, and secure environment that both improves operations and lessens business risk.
