The
era of on demand business
An era in which your business is able
to respond—in real time—to
customer demands, market opportunities
and external threats has arrived.
In partnership with our customers,
we've developed a vision for making
on demand business a reality. It's
a practical vision that involves using
existing technologies to develop a
connective "fabric," weaving
management disciplines together with
a kind of connective tissue enabled
by virtualization—and it's made
stronger by your mainframe.
More
and more businesses are relying on
mainframe servers to power their transformation
into on demand enterprises. For them,
IBM eServer zSeries is the clear choice.
zSeries servers have long been recognized
for the rich set of features they
offer around business resiliency,
security, systems management and business
integration. IBM eServer zSeries can
transform your IT infrastructure through:
 |
Resiliency & security
In today's on demand environment,
downtime is not only unwelcome—it's
costly. If your applications
aren't consistently available,
your business suffers. zSeries,
along with IBM Software and
the IBM TotalStorage Resiliency
family of offerings, offers
a comprehensive set of products
and solutions that are integrated
and automated to help address
specific business resiliency
needs and security requirements
to protect your data, transactions
and the reputation of your
business.

Systems management: In the
on demand world, it’s
not just about managing workloads.
It's about moving toward dynamic
workflows you can manage across
the enterprise. This requires
enabling the ability to manage
multiple servers with multiple—and
different—workloads.
zSeries mainframes can do
this today. Enterprise-wide.
And that will help ensure
end-to-end attainment of Service
Level Agreements across distributed,
multi-tiered, heterogeneous
environments, so your business
can be more responsive.

 |
Integration: Simplifying
your infrastructure is a good
step toward creating an integrated,
on demand operating environment.
Use virtualization capabilities
to consolidate workloads and
reduce server sprawl. From
there, you can move forward
with broader integration by
using data-serving and business
integration middleware (DB2,
WebSphere, Tivoli and other
IBM software) to provide a
unified view of data and make
it accessible across the enterprise.
