RDMA
 Aimed at providing very low latency/minimal CPU overhead interconnect between virtual
servers within zEnterprise
 Utilizes RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet)
 New protocol that allows existing TCP applications to transparently benefit from RDMA
for transferring data
 Builds upon reliable write access to a remote host’s memory in a controlled manner

Dynamic Provisioning
 Deploy a Virtual Machine Image
►
The Image meta-data is used to create
VM container, allocating the required
server, storage, and network resources
►
The bootable image is copied to the
selected virtual host system.
►
The virtual machine is started from the
bootable disk image.

Virtual Machine Placement Intelligence
 What is the most appropriate virtual
host within the ensemble to run a given
virtual machine image?
Mobility
– When deploying
– When moving
– When restarting
 Need to consider…
– Constraints (Configuration, Licensing..)
– Optimizations (Performance,
Availability, Energy, Isolation)
 Placement Advisors help to provide
optimized placement for the virtual
machines within the Ensemble

zManager Interface
 API is a new implementation in the HMC
– New API includes existing SNMP/CIM function plus new Unified Resource Manager
capabilities
– HMC SNMP and CIM interfaces not being extended with Unified Resource Manager
function
– Existing SNMP and CIM capabilities remain in place and supported
 Architecture/design based on current industry design practices
– Requests and responses structured as RESTful web services
