IBM Z

What is IBM Z?

IBM Z is a family of mainframe computers produced by IBM that includes the z15 and z14 models. Mainframes are data servers that can process up to 1 trillion web transactions per day with high levels of security and reliability. IBM Z mainframes are uniquely engineered to run common operating systems like Linux (these servers are also known as LinuxONE), as well as specialized operating systems such as z/OS and software to take advantage of its unique hardware capabilities. They also support more simultaneous transactions and higher levels of throughput (I/O) compared to other computers through built-in capacity on demand and a built-in Internal Shared Memory solution. They deliver the highest levels of security by building cryptographic cards into the hardware. And finally, they provide resiliency through multiple layers of redundancy for every component and testing for extreme weather conditions.
