z/OS Communications Server Technical UpdatezOSCommserver
In this session, the speakers will provide a look at new and coming features in z/OS 3.1 Communications Server. Features to be covered include:
- Networking support for z/OS containers
- Network security enhancements
- z/OS UNIX syslogd support for secure logging over TCP
- Communications Server exploitation of the IBM Function Registry for z/OS
... and more!
Have you tried to install PTFs with z/OSMF yet/ It still uses SMP/E under the covers, but it has a slick interface that doesn't need to show you all the details you don't need to know.
Z4R: Intro to Storage and DFSMS for z/OSTony Pearson
This session covers basic storage concepts for z/OS operating system with examples for Flash, Disk and Tape devices and how to use DFSMS policy-based management. Presented at IBM TechU in Johannesburg, South Africa September 2019
Maintec Technologies provides affordable access to latest Mainframe infrastructure for development, training, additional short term capacity increases and outsourcing needs. Leverage our Mainframe infrastructure, without investing the time, expense and manpower it would take to build your own!.
z/OS V2.4 Preview: z/OS Container Extensions - Running Linux on Z docker cont...zOSCommserver
What if you could build a hybrid workload consisting of native z/OS software and Linux on Z software, both running in the same z/OS image? During this education session we will discuss an exciting new feature of z/OS V2R4, z/OS Container Extensions, which brings the ability to deploy Linux on Z software packaged as Docker images directly inside a z/OS system using standard Docker container interfaces. It significantly expands what you do with your z/OS systems by allowing you to deploy Linux on Z software side by side with your z/OS software and middleware while preserving a z/OS operational model and z/OS Qualities of Service.
This presentation discusses the principles of IP Routing as they apply to z/OS, the z/OS implementation of static routing through the TCP/IP profile, and dynamic routing with OMPROUTE.
DB2 for z/OS - Starter's guide to memory monitoring and controlFlorence Dubois
DB2 for z/OS makes more and more use of REAL memory to improve performance and reduce cost. But if you don't carefully budget and monitor the use of REAL memory on your system, you could be putting your applications at risk. This presentation will go back to the basics and answer the most common questions about REAL memory management including: how does DB2 uses virtual and REAL memory? how to build a budget based on system settings and buffer pool sizes? how to size the LFAREA? what are the key performance indicators and how do I know I am running 'safely'? what can be done to protect the system?
With so much attention on cryptographic protection of data in flight, as well as weaknesses discovered in existing cryptographic protocols and algorithms, z/OS administrators and auditors need to be able to assess the quality of the cryptographic network protection being applied to their z/OS workloads. But with so many protocols and so many ways to configure and use them, this assessment can be daunting if not downright impossible. This session introduces a new z/OS V2R3 Communications Server feature called z/OS Encryption Readiness Technology (zERT) that provides the data that you need to build a complete picture of your z/OS cryptographic network protection posture.
TCP/IP Stack Configuration with Configuration Assistant for IBM z/OS CSzOSCommserver

The goal of the presentation is to demonstrate the value of running MongoDB on Linux for Systems z by comparing scaling behavior of MongoDB sharding on x86 and mainframe. The presentation will give details on performance numbers and scaling behavior of MongoDB on Systems z versus Intel based servers. The presentation will also sketch how MongoDB sharding on Linux on z Systems can be dockerized to facilitate the setup.
Innovate 2014: Get an A+ on Testing Your Enterprise Applications with Rationa...Teodoro Cipresso
Today's exam: what's the difference between continuous testing of distributed apps and enterprise apps? If you're on the distributed side, you typically maintain suites of self-checking unit tests. Successful execution of these test suites gives you confidence in your code as you make fixes and deliver enhancements. If you're on the enterprise side (okay: mainframe), you have to factor in CPU time and try to minimize that. Minimize and continuous, however, are near contradictions. The IBM Rational Development and Test Environment for System z can change that. It provides an emulated z/OS environment on Intel or Intel compatible hardware, making continuous test of enterprise apps easy and affordable.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
