traditional UNIX and IBM i applications in Midmarket or distributed
enterprise clients.
 Power Blades will transition to PureFlex System Power Compute
Nodes.
 System x Blades should be prioritized if the customer focuses on
existing investment protection.
 eX5 High End should be prioritized for scale-up and
maximum x86 memory requirements.
 PureFlex System provides unified management with enterprise storage
and choice of compute nodes (Power and x86). Pureflex System can be
connected to IBM general purpose systems and the environments
managed through the Tivoli® suite.

What Is Flash Express?
• Also referred to as Storage Class Memory (SCM)
• Flash Express is internal storage implemented via NAND Flash SSDs (Solid State
Drives) mounted in PCIe Flash Express feature cards
–
–
–
–
Plugs into PCIe I/O drawers in pairs
Data security provided on the feature cards
A pair provides 1.6 TB of storage
A maximum of 4 pairs are supported in a system
• Internal Flash is accessed using the new System z architected EADM (Extended
Asynchronous Data Mover) Facility
–
–
–
–
An extension of the ADM architecture used in the past with expanded storage
Access is initiated with a Start Subchannel instruction
Subchannels used were previously reserved
Definition in IOCDS is not required
• The main application of internal Flash in zEC12 is paging store for z/OS
– Where it provides advantages in resiliency and speed
– With pageable large pages being introduced in tandem for exceptional performance

RSM Enhancements
• RSM Enhancements will be delivered via RSM Enablement Offering Web Deliverable (FMID
JBB778H) for z/OS V1.13
– Exploit Storage Class Memory (SCM) technology for z/OS paging and SVC dump
• Is expected to yield substantial improvements in SVC dump data capture time
• Remove the requirement for non-VIO local page data sets when the configuration
includes enough SCM to meet peak demands
• However, local page data sets remain required for VIO, and when needed to support
peak paging demands that require more capacity than provided by the amount of
configured SCM
– Pageable 1MB Large Page Support
– Dynamic reconfiguration support for Storage Class Memory (SCM) - target 1Q2013*
– Optional PLPA and COMMON page data set support – target 1Q2013*
