technology is important because it offers you an attractive
alternative to vertical growth by adding new z/VM systems. In the
past, this capability required duplicate efforts to install,
maintain, and manage each system. With SSI, these duplicate efforts
are reduced or eliminated.
Support for live guest relocation (LGR) allows you to move Linux
virtual servers without disrupting your business or incurring loss
