• Intelligent and optimized dispatching of workloads.
HiperDispatch can help provide increased scalability
and performance of higher n-way System z10 systems
by improving the way workload is dispatched within the
server.
• Low-cost, high-availability disk solution. The Basic
HyperSwap ™ capability (enabled by TotalStorage
Productivity Center for Replication Basic Edition
for System z) provides a low-cost, single-site, high-
availability disk solution which allows the confi guration
of disk replication services using an intuitive browser-
based graphical user interface (GUI) served from z/OS.
• Improved total cost of ownership. zIIP-Assisted
HiperSockets for Large Messages, IBM Scalable
Architecture for Financial Reporting
service offering of IBM Global Business Services), zIIP-
Assisted z/OS Global Mirror (XRC), and additional z/OS
XML System Services exploitation of zIIP and zAAP help
make these workloads more attractive on System z.
• Improved management of temporary processor capac-
ity. Capacity Provisioning Manager which is available
on z/OS V1.10, and on z/OS V1.9 with PTFs, can monitor
z/OS systems on System z10 servers. Activation and
deactivation of temporary capacity can be suggested or
performed automatically based on user-defi ned sched-
ules and workload criteria. RMF
required to use the Capacity Provisioning Manager.
• Improved network security. z/OS Communications Server
introduces new defensive fi ltering capability. Defensive
fi lters are evaluated ahead of confi gured IP fi lters, and
can be created dynamically, which can provide added
protection and minimal disruption of services in the
event of an attack.
• z/OS V1.10 also supports RSA key, ISO Format-3 PIN
block, 13-Digit through 19-Digit PAN data, secure key
AES, and SHA algorithms.
• Improved productivity. z/OS V1.10 provides improve-
ments in or new capabilities for: simplifying diagnosis
and problem determination; expanded Health Check
Services; network and security management; automatic
dump and re-IPL capability; as well as overall z/OS, I/O
confi guration, sysplex, and storage operations

With z/OS 1.9, IBM delivers functionality that continues to
solidify System z leadership as the premier data server.
z/OS 1.9 offers enhancements in the areas of security, net-
working, scalability, availability, application development,
integration, and improved economics with more exploita-
tion for specialty engines. A foundational element of the
platform — the z/OS tight interaction with the System z
hardware and its high level of system integrity.
With z/OS 1.9, IBM introduces:
• A revised and expanded Statement of z/OS System
Integrity
• Large Page Support (1 MB)
• Capacity Provisioning
• Support for up to 64 engines in a single image (on
IBM System z10 Enterprise Class (z10 EC
• Simplifi ed and centralized policy-based networking
• Expanded IBM Health Checker
• Simplifi ed RACF ® Administration
• Hardware Decimal Floating Point
• Parallel Sysplex support for Infi niBand
• NTP Support for STP
• HiperSockets Multiple Write Facility
• OSA-Express3 support
• Advancements in ease of use for both new and existing
IT professionals coming to z/OS
• Support for zIIP-assisted IPSec, System Data Mover
(SDM) offl oad to zIIP, and support for eligible portions of
DB2 9 XML parsing workloads to be offl oaded to zAAP
processors
• Expanded options for AT-TLS and System SSL network
security
• Improved creation and management of digital certifi -
cates with RACF, SAF, and z/OS PKI Services
• Additional centralized ICSF encryption key management
