z/OS Statement of Direction
Software Announcement 212-086 – 4/11/2012

IBM plans to introduce a new version of the z/OS operating system, z/OS Version 2, with
z/OS V2.1 to be released in the second half of 2013 as part of a new two-year release
cycle.
IBM intends to make new z/OS and z/OSMF releases available approximately every two
years.
It is IBM's intent that z/OS V2 and z/OSMF V2 will continue to support coexistence,
fallback, and migration rules similar to those for z/OS V1 and z/OSMF V1. IBM plans to
support an n-2 approach, where three consecutive releases are planned to be supported
for coexistence, fallback, and migration.
Beginning with z/OS Version 2, IBM plans to provide five years of z/OS support, with
three years of optional, fee-based extended service (5+3) as part of the new release
cadence.
IBM further plans to provide enhancements to current z/OS releases during the transition
to the new support model as follows:
– z/OS V1.12 support is planned to be increased from three years to four years. Thus,
support for Version 1.12 is planned to be extended from September 30, 2013, to
September 30, 2014.
– z/OS V1.13 support is planned to be increased from three years to five years. Thus,
support for Version 1.13 is planned to be extended from September 30, 2014, to
September 30, 2016.
