DISCLAIMER NOTICE
Performance is based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled
environment. This information is presented along with general recommendations to assist the reader to
have a better understanding of IBM(*) products. The actual throughput or performance that any user will
experience will vary depending upon considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the
user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed.
Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve throughput or performance
improvements equivalent to the ratios stated here.
All performance data contained in this publication was obtained in the specific operating environment and
under the conditions described within the document and is presented as an illustration. Performance
obtained in other operating environments may vary and customers should conduct their own testing.
Information is provided "AS IS" without warranty of any kind.
The use of this information or the implementation of any of these techniques is a customer responsibility
and depends on the customer's ability to evaluate and integrate them into the customer's operational
environment. While each item may have been reviewed by IBM for accuracy in a specific situation, there
is no guarantee that the same or similar results will be obtained elsewhere. Customers attempting to adapt
these techniques to their own environments do so at their own risk.
All statements regarding IBM future direction and intent are subject to change or withdrawal without
notice, and represent goals and objectives only. Contact your local IBM office or IBM authorized reseller
for the full text of the specific Statement of Direction.
Some information addresses anticipated future capabilities. Such information is not intended as a
definitive statement of a commitment to specific levels of performance, function or delivery schedules
with respect to any future products. Such commitments are only made in IBM product announcements.
The information is presented here to communicate IBM's current investment and development activities
