You've been chosen to build them one of those.  So you grab a copy of z/OS MVS Setting Up A Sysplex  and start reading.  But with over 500 pages to digest; it would sure be nice to get some guidance as to how to approach the task.  In this session; we'll explain what a sysplex is and what needs to happen to deliver those highly available business services that your boss expects.  We'll look at the various components of a sysplex and the things that must be done to build a multisystem sysplex.  We'll keep it at a high level since there is so much to cover.  But by the end; you'll understand all the sysplex terminology and you'll have the understanding you need to navigate Setting Up A Sysplex so you can successfully create the sysplex that will meet the needs of your business.-Mark A.
