IBM System z is well known for its reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS). So how can your enterprise obtain all this benefit, along with low total cost of ownership (TCO) and excellent centralized administration? And what other benefits can you realize by implementing a Parallel Sysplex configuration? This IBM Redbooks publication answers these questions by documenting the experiences of a real life client that undertook this process. Informatik Zentrum Frankfurt und München (IZB) completed a Parallel Sysplex implementation, and it shares its perspective with you in this...

This IBM Redbooks publication provides an overview of the z/OS Security setups for Parallel Sysplex installations that are considering serving users locally or over non-secure TCP/IP networks. It provides insight into what can be done to minimize the risks in such contexts by addressing the following operating environments:- Parallel Sysplex (as a stand-alone system) security. - One member of the Sysplex is exposed to a non-secure network. - All members of the Sysplex can be reached from the non-secure network.We use a simple Sysplex configuration running at z/OS 1.7, with the capability of...
