Description:
Many customers will only upgrade their mainframe machines every other generation. This can make it easier to miss changes that happened in the interim generation. In this webinar, Scott Chapman will discuss the differences and new capabilities for both the z16 and z17, relative to the z15. Some brief discussion of prior generations may occur as well. If you’re considering a machine upgrade to the current z17 generation, then this webinar will be a good overview of some of the new features and capabilities that upgrade might afford you.

Mainframe environments often struggle during peak processing times. When General Purpose (GP) processors hit maximum capacity, latency rises and SLAs can be missed. One common solution is simply adding more capacity. But what if the problem is workload distribution, not a lack of processing resources? In this webinar, we uncover the root cause of many batch performance issues: resource contention at peak. When GP utilization nears 100%, the system spends more time managing the queue than executing work, creating a deadlock that puts performance at risk. Join us as we demonstrate an alternate solution that addresses batch contention by changing how workloads execute. We’ll show you how to control GP peaks, manage your overages, and eliminate SLA risks—all without changing a single line of code. Takeaways:
