IBM zSeries z890 2086
The design of z890 represents the continuation of a major change for the zSeries (TM) technologies which were introduced with IBM eServer zSeries 990. IBM eServer zSeries 890, like zSeries 990, contains a new superscalar microprocessor architecture exploiting the CMOS9S-SOI technology and improving uniprocessor performance. z890 is an air- cooled, single-frame, single-book variant of the z990 platform. The capability for a significant capacity increase versus z800 has been achieved.
The IBM eServer z890 is designed to help enable your businesses to be resilient in the unpredictable on demand world. With a single model and a wide range of capacity settings, the z890 delivers significantly improved granularity and enriched functions over its predecessor, the z800 — it can provide up to almost twice the processing power, up to 123% greater total system capacity, and significantly increased I/O capacity.
The z890 can support double the number of Logical Partitions (LPARs) and the Logical Channel SubSystem (LCSS) (features introduced on z990), which facilitates horizontal growth, and introduced the IBM eServer zSeries Application Assist Processor (zAAP), which provides an attractively priced Java execution environment.
